    • Steven Rea 100
    Beautifully observed, and beautifully acted by the novice thespian Polanco (culled from a New York City public school), Chop Shop is at once a heartbreaker and a story of hope and the American Dream.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Steven Rea 100
    A tale of horror, heroism, unimaginable physical challenges, and, yes, cannibalism, Stranded offers the kind of real-life drama that can't help but bring up notions of God, fate, and nature's imposing will.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Steven Rea 100
    Wendy and Lucy is modest, minimalist. But it nonetheless reverberates like a sonic boom.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Steven Rea 100
    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.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Steven Rea 100
    Smart, suspenseful, satisfyingly unpredictable.
    • Metascore: 73

    • Steven Rea 100
    One of the finest pieces of screen acting in the career of Juliette Binoche -- the actress playing the actress in this extraordinary film.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Steven Rea 100
    A bracing, unblinking work that serves as a painful elegy and sobering cautionary tale.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Steven Rea 100
    With its feverish, percussive soundtrack and bravura cinematography, is like a bolt from the blue, chock-full of unexpected delight.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Steven Rea 100
    It's aimed at adults as much as children, with jokes that work on multiple levels, and contraptions.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Steven Rea 100
    Girl on the Bridge, with its doomed art-house romanticism and echoes of Fellini, may not be the deepest piece of filmmaking out there now, but it is easily the most intoxicating. Take the leap.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Steven Rea 100
    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.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Steven Rea 100
    The movie is, start to finish, candy-colored angst.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Steven Rea 100
    At turns funny, sweet, sad, trenchant and telling. It's a gem.
    • Metascore: 61

    • Steven Rea 100
    Toy Story 2, like its forebear, will stand the test of time.
    • Metascore: 86
    • Steven Rea 100
    A beautiful, appropriately loping little gem about growing older, daring to take risks and follow your heart. That probably sounds corny, and The Straight Story is.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Steven Rea 100
    With its knowing take on men, messed-up romance and music, is like one long, hook-filled pop song for the eyes.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Steven Rea 100
    This sad, staggering drama should be seen: out of the grimness, and the profound calamity, you can almost taste life in your mouth.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Steven Rea 100
    A feast for the eyes and succor for the soul.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Steven Rea 100
    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.
