The Conformist has a decadent visual beauty about it that's breathtaking. But as striking as Bertolucci's classic looks, there's even more powerful stuff in the storytelling. -

Remy, the little rat who stars in the big, beautiful, funny Ratatouille, isn't gross at all. In fact, he's adorable. -

Fused with paranoia and almost unbearable suspense, The Hurt Locker is powerful stuff. -

Amour arrives with plaudits and praise. But this is not hype, it is all deserved. This is a masterpiece.- Posted Jan 24, 2013

35 Shots of Rum is visual poetry, but poetry that examines the human condition with insight and illumination. -

This long (nearly three hours), revelatory movie is both a thrilling adventure about endurance and survival, and an elegiac examination of centuries-old tribal culture, fast-fading in the new millennium. -

A slo-mo gem of gangster cool, of vintage Hollywood noir reimagined by a French new waver in love with American cars, American jazz, and the kind of trench-coated tough-guys embodied by Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum. -

With a bit of Tintin and Tati, Charlie Chaplin and Wallace and Gromit echoing in the pacing and comic sensibility, Triplets of Belleville conjures up a world that's totally surprising and sublime. -

An eerily quiet, bracingly bloody, and expertly laid-out adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel. -

If vigilance and preemption, recompense and retaliation is not enough, the film asks, then what is?- Posted Feb 28, 2013

If Malik doesn't remind you of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone on his journey from innocence to corruption in "The Godfather" saga, well . . . he should. A Prophet is similarly, startlingly momentous. -

It's been a long time since a film has conveyed a culture, and a sense of place, with such telling precision. At the same time, Winter's Bone thrums with suspense. -

A bracing, unblinking work that serves as a painful elegy and sobering cautionary tale. -

So jaw-droppingly out there, so bracingly bizarre, and, much of the time, so fall-over-funny that even its flaws don't matter. Easily the oddest movie of the year, it is also one of the best. -

It's great to see an American filmmaker - and a successful one at that - willing to simply train his cameras on the actors and let them, and their characters, come to life. -

It's Greengrass' way of asking a question that looms large in these post-9/11 days: Are we all praying to the same God, or is one man's God better than another, and one man's God vastly more terrifying? -

It's action opera, sword-and-sorcery song-and-dance, and it's a heart-pumping, jaw-dropping thrill. OK, so I kind of like the thing. -

Yun's performance is remarkable. The journey Mija takes is painful and hard and - for us, watching - sublime.- Posted Mar 3, 2011
