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

The Cockettes weren't talented, exactly, yet the bedazzled flakiness of their passion takes you closer than just about any movie has to what was once really meant by the term ''free-spirited.'' -

A crowd-pleaser in the deepest sense, mixes heartbreak and happiness together until you don't even want to see them apart. -

The film defuses all preconceptions about the ''issues'' of transsexual identity to arrive at a place of tremulous human power. -

When the submarine has to dive 400 meters beneath the surface to avoid detection, you can practically feel the water pressure crushing in on the sailors. -

Owen Gleiberman 91
Freshly transplanted from the stage, is a thrilling ode to the intertwined glories of sex, showmanship, and lying: what the film calls ''the old razzle-dazzle.'' -

The result is something as original as it is unlikely: a study in grief that is flooded with happiness. -

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. -

Here, in paranoid, bad acid trip form, is the real birth of girl power. -

Owen Gleiberman 91
The movie is on some level a stunt, but it has the fervent, sun-dazed pull of an authentic experience unfolding in real time, with glints of drama, comedy, and terror mixed into the almost-but-not-quite tedium. -

A dazzlingly crafted documentary about the teenage surf punks of lower Los Angeles who singlehandedly transformed skateboarding into the extreme sport it has become. -

Remains a majestic explosion of pure cinema. It's a hallucinatory poem of fear, projecting, in its scale and spirit, a messianic vision of human warfare stretched to the flashpoint of technological and moral breakdown. -

Owen Gleiberman 91
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. -

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

Crowe, staying close to his memories, has gotten it, for perhaps the first time, onto the screen. -

The film satirizes, and celebrates, an idea pivotal to both Hollywood and love: that in a world of impostors, the pretender with the most conviction can become exactly what he pretends to be. -

Linklater has hardly been a slacker this year. I'll take the tricky confrontational babble of Tape over some of the gauzier soliloquies in ''Waking Life,'' but either way, he's a filmmaker in love with the music of talk, and let's bless him for that. -

Lynch's first movie since ''Blue Velvet'' that truly envelops you in its spell. It's a piece of celestial Americana -- his journey to the light side of the moon. -

Owen Gleiberman 91
The savviest and most exciting Bond adventure in years, and that's because there's actually something at stake in it. -

Turns out to be a supple, intriguing, and beautifully staged movie. It features Dillon, in his most forceful performance since ''Drugstore Cowboy.'' -

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