Though you get caught up in the criminal element (you really want these people to get away with it), you're also fascinated by who to trust. It's an unusual dance between the awkward and plain that becomes romantic and thrilling -- a subtly impressive feat to say the least. -

An achievement of accomplished filmmaking and superb acting, L.I.E. puts you in the tough spot of unraveling how you feel about what you've viewed. -

Funny, irreverent and moving, the unconventional Shrek may mock fairy tales, but in the process, creates its own. -

Aronson's intriguing, complicated and well-filmed documentary will keep you talking for days. -

Quiet, sexual, disturbing, often beautifully melancholic, Rain, as seen through the eyes of a precocious girl, recalls a parental split-up with sobering accuracy. It reminds us why so many teen-agers go through a sullen phase -- and sometimes never shake it off. -

Appropriate music, lovely cinematography and stellar performances by both a subtly moving Neill and a likable, barrel-chested super-American Warburton. -

The film is still a wonderful lark filled with an ingredient most summer blockbusters lack -- likability. -

Panic never lets you forget that Donald Sutherland can be one of America's greatest actors. -

Seems deeply influenced by American film noir, the Western fairy tale (in this case, mermaids) and the works of Alfred Hitchcock in particular. -

Takes the typical detective-hunting-a-serial-killer story and twists it into a creepy, enigmatic bit of psychological terror that by its final ambiguous scene leaves you truly chilled. -

It is off-putting at first, then refreshing, then downright touching. In short, it works. -

A lovely film that requires a leisurely sit to think, Shower is not so much a shower as a bath, and a refreshing one at that. -

It is aided both by fine performances by Auteuil, Aumont and Depardieu and by wonderful pacing. -

Doesn't give off the same happy feel of the Indian arranged-marriage movie "Monsoon Wedding." Rather, it poses hard questions and leaves them unanswered. -

The "Citizen Kane" of rat movies makes for a terrific overhaul in this wonderfully entertaining and, yes, touching take on that terribly confused man/child named Willard. -

A blending of international film sensibilities -- France meets Hollywood meets Hong Kong -- with a very cool anti-hero protagonist. -

There's more to this movie. Like Pitt at his best, it's pretty, gritty, engrossing and fun. -

You will be surprised by the film's poignancy when the winner is announced. You may even get choked up. You will care that much. -

It's a fascinating look into what Spielberg truly loves, but it's not so much a masterpiece as a nice milestone. -

Every once in a while a picture comes along that captures not just love, but romance in all its fear, yearning, fantasy, eroticism and unexpected epiphanies. German filmmaker Tom Tykwer's The Princess and the Warrior is one such film. -

A vibrant, multicharacter film that entertains, disorients and enlightens. -

An odd, jumbled, beautifully wrought, often confusing work, this animated feature manages to be a compelling, exhilarating experience. -

Not just love, but maybe an escape from a wretched world. We're not sure, but that's what makes Heaven so inexplicably, intriguingly soulful, even in its most remote and architectural instances. -

With understated skill and absolute authenticity, the film builds with enough layers that by its powerful ending, you'll feel as if you have been kicked in the stomach. -

Works like a funnier "Austin Powers" -- you laugh just enough to want to see the whole thing again. -
