With Before Night Falls, Schnabel has moved to an entirely new plane of cinematic achievement. -

Temple's wonderfully entertaining film brings the era back in all its confused and tentatively revolutionary glory, and bracingly demonstrates that the Pistols still have the power to shock. -

As the late Stanley Kubrick's swansong, it fills the bill magnificently. -

One of the most troubling views of the human race I've seen in years. Luckily for us, its depressing, almost pathologically ironic vision is redeemed by the sublimity of Solondz' filmmaking. I first saw the film at Cannes last May and it's haunted me, both for its nastiness and its brilliance, ever since. -

The landscapes are so gorgeous, the philosophy so richly appealing, the narrative so epically sweeping, and the characters so intense. -

Sure, the territory is not exactly fresh...but the chemistry between the two leads is so explosive yet assured, and the comic timing so perfect, that the cliches are given new life. -

It's a masterpiece, a sublime tone poem that shows what cinema is capable of when it tries to do more than just tell a story. -

It's a superb example of the genre of the self-expressive documentary. -

-

It makes us realize, suddenly, and with immense regret, what the rest of contemporary cinema so sorely lacks. -

It simultaneously wows you with the stark beauty of its images, a beauty that leads to another, related kind of truth that is equally crucial. It's not to be missed. -

A rich and challenging variation on the serial-killer genre. -

What's best about the film is not the hot romance, but the coldness that lies at its heart. -

The fact that this film, so sensitive to woman's plight, was made by a man is perhaps cause for a little hope. -
-

Peter Brunette 90
A strange and lovely combination of cinematic nostalgia and offbeat (gay) love story. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
We marvel at the almost perfect realization of a character whom we're not necessarily meant to like. -

Little Voice is that rarity, a filmed adaptation of a stage play that actually works. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
What makes the film so special is that while tickling your postmodern funnybone, it never forgets to make you care for its characters, in a welcome, and almost traditional way. -

Not a film for everyone. And though I deeply admire it, it's not a film that even I want to see again in the immediate future. -

One of the best pictures I've seen all year. Funny, touching, even inspiring at times. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
The titillating sense of out-of-controlness provoked by the camera is echoed in the film's narrative situations, and you simply, and deliciously, haven't a clue as to what he's going to throw at you next. -

Irrespective of whether Pollock, as a movie, is any good -- and it is very, very good -- it's clear that Ed Harris was born to play the lead role. -

Harron's adaptation of Ellis's novel is brilliant, probably better than the book itself. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
Stoppard's luxuriant, richly comic language cascades and washes over you, and, for once, more than keeps pace with the sprightly pictures. -
-

-
Peter Brunette 90
Funny and wise, lively and contemplative, intriguingly postmodern and powerfully moving, all at the same time. It's not to be missed. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
Hilarious, slightly sick, and super-edgy ...the acting of its two principals, Annette Bening and Kevin Spacey, is so sublime that it's worth seeing on that grounds alone. -
-
-
Peter Brunette 90
We've seen the clash of cultures and generations before,--- but never quite so humorously. This time, the focus is on the Pakistanis living in England, and it's quite amazingly done, perky and inventive to the core. -

If you're interested in heavy-lidded moodiness and lots of attitude, Phillippe and Del Toro can't be beat. -

Lots of laughs, lots of fisticuffs, lots of cool toys, lots of stuff getting blown up: Who could ask for anything more from a summer movie? -
