    Unfamiliar to most these days and it goes without saying that Harris performs a great service in the eyes of history with his film.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Well worth seeing if you have even the slightest interest in guns and sex and the interplay between the two (and who doesn't?), Burnt Money also has, you'll forgive the pun, style to burn.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Gleefully, goofily over-the-top.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Great fun to watch, thoughtful and timely, Thomas in Love is likely to generate some decidedly interesting post-film conversations as well.
    • Metascore: 61
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Deeply moral, thoughtful, and amiably humorous.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Minus much of the rose-tinted nostalgia his films have occasionally engendered. There is a nostalgic tone to the film, but it's a quiet, subtle one.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Marc Savlov 78
    It's a humorous film, to be sure, but there's also a stringent vein of giddy realism to it.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Above all, it's a satisfying, almost restful work, as welcome in this less-than-thrilling cinematic summer as a cool soak on a hot summer's day.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Marc Savlov 78
    It's not perfect -- Thornton's slack-jawed yokel Jacob is played a bit wide of the mark and Fonda continues to irk in some indefinable way -- but it's a revelation for longtime Raimi fans. And it's a hell of a ride too, for both Raimi fans and newcomers alike.

    This is Martin Scorsese, and in the end, it's his town, and his show.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Marc Savlov 78
    There's no denying it's a tragic film from start to finish, but equally undeniable is the endless stoicism displayed by the women, and Panahi's crisp, meandering direction.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Marc Savlov 78
    A remarkable film. From its performances on down to director of photography Roger Deakins' sun-baked, dirty-ochre cinematography, the film is all of a piece.
    • Metascore: 45
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Bird's grim, picture-perfect direction -- the Sierras are more character than backdrop, and everything else looks like it's already been digested and expelled -- augments what is frankly a small, albeit lusterless, gem of a horror show, for once with as many smarts as body parts.

    • Marc Savlov 78
    The strangest biographical film ever made is also one of the most charming, melancholy and quirkily humorous films of the year.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Although a few bits (the film is done in blackout sketch style) fall flat and a good ten minutes could be shaved off the running time with no visible damage, it's an impressive and irascible debut that rings true even when you're laughing too hard to hear it.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Marc Savlov 78
    A very nasty piece of work, indeed.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Gorgeously lensed and delightfully structured, however, this is, in a word, wonderful.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Marc Savlov 78
    The spirited interplay between Goodman and Crystal is both wacky and, dare I say, charming.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Smith's film is a celebration of quirkiness, eccentricity, and certain individuals' tendency to let it all hang out, and damn the consequences.
    • Metascore: 64
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Far and away the most original thriller to come out of a major studio (in this case Columbia Pictures) in a long while.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Marc Savlov 78
    You’ve heard of guerrilla warfare? Buffalo Soldiers is all about guerilla capitalism.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Skateboarding is not a crime, but the subject of this exhaustive documentary... is very much a criminal.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Marc Savlov 78
    To paraphrase Nathan McCall, this film makes you wanna holler.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Marc Savlov 78
    Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Marc Savlov 78
    A fine, near-seamless film that finally suffers slightly from an inability to wrap up its tale.
    • Metascore: 60
    • Marc Savlov 78
    The overall tone of this rocket-paced updating is exhilaratingly giddy, making it by far Disney’s best animated film since "Mulan."
    • Metascore: 73
    • Marc Savlov 78
    All of the major players turn in powerhouse performances, and Fishburne nails his best role yet as Furious.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Marc Savlov 78
    It's all patently ridiculous, but it's also ridiculously fun.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Marc Savlov 78
    A kicky, knockout thriller that ingeniously taps into the current climate of paranoia surrounding personal privacy in the Information Age.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Marc Savlov 78
    As uncomfortable as it is to have your nose shoved in this nightmare, its unforgettable in its violent lyricism and the bloody power of its message.
