(Fiennes's) Onegin is clueless to anything other than the sensual world, and is finally more repellent than sympathetic.

Both sophisticated and elemental enough for all ages to grasp the message.

There is a ton of psychology and inference in this intriguing first feature by French director Anne-Sophie Birot.

Isn't so emotionally powerful as the Oscar-winning "When We Were Kings" but which -- in its more intimate way -- still packs a punch.

Funny, eccentric and touchingly just, combining a unique interpretation of the time with an offbeat sense of humor.

Exquisite and fragile in visuals and tone, yet has some difficulty with a choppy narrative.

A fresh, well-written comedy that doesn't lag, casts its actors against type and has a real love for its characters.

In its austere visual understatement rests a ton of emotional power.

Though Signs & Wonders loses its bubbles and runs flat in its anticlimactic final moments, it's far more inventive and demanding than any movie of recent memory.

Has enough simmering beneath its sweaty, grimy and disconsolate surface to be more than just another rite-of-passage missive set in the '70s.

Gorgeous re-creation of another time.

An empowering film for children, showing them at their most capable, working through problems and finding innovative solutions to overcome what seems like an insurmountable obstacle.

An edgy comedy with heart.

Breathtaking visual accomplishment.

The Cockettes is a fascinating poke into the soul of the '60s and it moves past a simple chronology of a counterculture phenomenon to examine how this predecessor to glitter rock and camp movies, such as "The Rocky Horror Show," could ever have ascended to such heights.

Truly raunchy but it's more sweetly stupid and silly than anything.

Difficult to weigh and rate precisely because it deals with real life and real people.

What emerges is a funny and sometimes aching movie that treads familiar dysfunctional family turf but still manages to eke out an emotionally toned balance.

The music is truly the thing in Songcatcher and it's awesome, haunting stuff.

Scores high on nastiness, but it has as many surprisingly funny moments as offensive ones.

More intelligent and thought-provoking than the usual dumb and dull-witted fare for children.

The film is not without its flaws, but it sports a terrific production design that integrates magically into the story -- as well as another top-notch performance by Anthony LaPaglia.

If ever a film seemed poised to take over the spot occupied by the surprise indie hit, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," it's Real Women Have Curves.

Allen has avoided his usual stable of jokes and one-liners, and the result is a film that feels and looks fresh from the maestro of urban angst.

A frothy and deliriously enjoyable souffle.

The film is so full of ideas and so dense that its narrative splinters, moving tangentially, and ultimately is weighed down by its rant and rhetoric.

Love. Lust. Recrimination. Jealousy. Resolution. This British female friendship melodrama has them all.

The film is many things: dark fable, gritty thriller, satirical social commentary, horror film and a love story that's blessed with a marvelous, near slapstick physicality.
