For sheer dramatic wallop outpowers virtually every fiction feature I've seen this year. -

Arenas' life zigzags before us in a manner as heady and unpredictable as it must have felt to the man who lived it. -

Someone has finally done it -- made a sexually explicit feature that is also a genuine and harrowing work of erotic drama. -

A great, searching, incendiary chronicle of the Sex Pistols, the razor-hearted visionaries of punk anarchy. -

Remains the only rock & roll film that exerts the saturnine intensity of a thriller. -

Owen Gleiberman 100
A delicate yet haunting movie, a meditation on friendship, on the roots of bohemianism, on the sad comedy of madness. -

Fred Leuchter is just one deluded figure, but by the end of this great and chilling sick-joke documentary he stands as a living icon of the banality of evil. -

Ulee's Gold is a story of redemption, and Nunez doesn't make redemption look any easier than it is. -

Owen Gleiberman 100
Lean, elegant, and emotionally complex -- a marvel of backwoods classicism. -

The beauty of Swingers lies in the irony of its title: Despite their lounge-lizard posing, these guys will never really live up to their Rat Pack dreams. -

A comedy of the ridiculous in which the ridiculous turns unexpectedly sublime. -

True art is a journey to somewhere you've never been, and there has never been a movie quite like Breaking the Waves. -

Jim Carrey's performance is an impersonation on the level of genius. -

Leaves you shaken and ecstatic at the same time, transported by the vision of a major film artist. -

No dramatic feature has ever come quite this close to the matter-of-fact ugliness of the Nazi crimes. -

By the end, Campion views all her characters with a compassion bordering on grace, a humanity-like her heroine's-as dark, quiet, and enveloping as the ocean. -

With an authenticity that is tender and merciless, the movie shows you what it looks like when youth rebellion becomes a form of fascism. -

They're like gods at play, paragons of pure delight, as they mock and feign their way through a universe of mere mortals. To see the movie again is to realize that they were never entirely of this earth and that they never will be. -

Working from a superb script by Paul Attanasio, Redford has caught the way a show like Twenty-One offered a carny-barker version of the American Dream. -

The film catches us by surprise in its moving portrayal of the love between Larry and Althea, played by Courtney Love in a performance that glides from kinky abandon to stark tragedy. -

It's Swank, however, who's the revelation. By the end, her Brandon/Teena is beyond male or female. It's as if we were simply glimpsing the character's soul, in all its yearning and conflicted beauty. -
