It's a beautiful contraption of a movie, a gothic backwoods fable that uses its naive yet murderous hero to walk a fine line between sentimentality and dread. -

In the Shadow of the Moon finds new resonance in the moment when America redefined progress -- but also when it heeded the siren song of a world so desolate it reminded you what a paradise ours truly is. -

As long as Revanche focuses on the relationship between Tamara (Irina Potapenko), an indentured Ukrainian prostitute, and Alex (Johannes Krisch), the ex-con gofer and would-be tough guy who wants to help her escape, it's riveting. -

The unlikeliest enthralling movie to be released so far this year. -

Darwin's Nightmare points an all-purpose finger at globalization, yet the movie, as raw and vivid as it is, meanders terribly and - bigger problem - never hints at how the disasters it shows us are rooted in Africa's colonial past. -

Sheridan, however, works with such piercing fervor and intelligence that In the Name of the Father just about transcends its tidy moral design. -

The final shot, of the three characters now united, may be the quietest affirmation of life I've ever seen in a movie, and one of the truest. -

The movie opens as borderline Hitchcock, echoing the tone of the filmmaker's bravura "Bad Education" (2004), and then turns into a kind of overly conceptualized Tennessee Williams. -

A good but far from great movie because it portrays truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is. -

Another beautifully chiseled piece of filmmaking - sharp, funny, generous, and moving.- Posted Nov 16, 2011

The enthralling spirit of Dave Chappelle's Block Party, its mood of exuberant democracy, extends to every rap and soul performance in the film. -

Owen Gleiberman 91
Creates a flow of symbolism so potent, so transporting in its physicality, that its impact all but transcends its righteous liberal ''meaning.'' -

If this is the sound of a new generation, then it may be the first generation cautious enough to embrace friendship as mightier than love. -

This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like. -

Maddin chops it up into a feature-length antique-bloodsucker video, and the result takes hold neither as dance nor as silent horror dream. -

As visual spectacle, Avatar is indelible, but as a movie it all but evaporates as you watch it. -

With its virtuoso tomfoolery, Fantastic Mr. Fox is like a homegrown Wallace and Gromit caper. To Wes Anderson: More, please! -

The clever and infectious reboot of the amazingly enduring sci-fi classic, director J.J. Abrams crafts an origin myth that avoids any hint of the origin doldrums. That's because he rewires us back into the original Star Trek's primal appeal. -

Has the resonance to stand not just as a terrific cartoon but as an emotionally pungent movie. -

The writer-director, Peter Sollett, cast the film with kids from his own neighborhood, who give themselves over to the camera with a spirit of improvised play that morphs into vivid, layered acting. -

As an achievement in macabre visual wizardry, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride has to be reckoned some sort of marvel. -

A fascinating and in many ways tragic documentary, takes us back to one of the high-water marks of the apes-are-people-too era.- Posted Jul 2, 2011

Up through its first half, The Age of Innocence is a masterfully orchestrated tale of romantic yearning. -

Paranoid Park has the slightly glum insularity of minimalist fiction, but it's the first of Van Sant's blitzed-generation films in which a young man wakes up instead of shutting down. -

Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years. -
