You'll have to look long and hard to find a performance as emotionally raw as that of Moon So-ri in the startling South Korean love story Oasis. -

To its credit, this remarkable film does not contrive a happy ending. Under the circumstances, even a mildly hopeful one seems like a triumph of the highest order. -

The bureaucrats in Beijing want to get rid of the sex and full-frontial nudity and scenes of cops beating protesters in Tiananmen Square. I would keep all that but cut out some of the flab in the second half of the 140-minute drama. -

As is his custom, Reygadas uses a mostly nonprofessional cast; and, as expected, he draws remarkably realistic performances. -

Never becomes maudlin. Rather, it retains an upbeat air of hope, and even humor, as two brave men battle fate. -

Sounds boring, but it's not, thanks to Marker's whimsical irreverence. -

Compelling viewing, even for people who don't care a bit for the punk scene. -

Lewis, from the TV series "Band of Brothers," gives a super performance, but the revelation here is young Breslin, who was in Garry Marshall's "Raising Helen" and M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs." -

Burtynsky doesn't preach. He's content to let viewers make up their own minds from his eye-opening and eye-pleasing images. -

The finale - a shootout in a church - seems inspired by Hong Kong filmmakers like John Woo and Ringo Lam. -

Special note should be made of real-life sister and brother Aoi and Masaru Miyazaki, who give beautiful performances as the children. -

Be warned: Some of the afflictions are so disturbing, you might have to turn your eyes from the children. Susan Tom doesn't have that option. And 11 children are all the better for it. -

Huppert is, as usual, superb, proving yet again that she is the finest actress working in France today. -

The overwhelming silence is broken mainly by chanting and the ringing of the monastery bells. Call it life in the slow, slow, slow lane. -

Beautiful to look at, with scrumptious period detail and a knowing performance by Choi Min-sik as the portly, goatéed painter. At the same time, Chihwaseon is slow and stilted. -

V.A. Musetto 75
The title is to be taken figuratively, not literally -- is a top-notch study of family angst. -

Briski, a New York photographer, spent several years with the pre-teens. But she did more than just film them -- she tried to help them. -

The issues are complex and not easily solved. But no matter which side you are on, you'll be moved by this intimate work.- Posted Jun 1, 2012

Probably the most definitive portrait of Johnson that we are likely to get. -

Gini Reticker's embracing documentary Pray the Devil Back to Hell shows how Taylor got his comeuppance from a coalition of tenacious Christian and Muslim women armed only with matching T-shirts. -

One of the oddest, most perplexing -- and delightful -- films to come along this year. And last year, too. -

Mylan and Shenk provide an engrossing look at these bright, clean-cut young men and the obstacles they faced in "the land of plenty." In doing so, the filmmakers also reveal a lot about the American character. -

The result is an absorbing look at a country still struggling to adjust more than a decade after the fall of communism. -

Beautifully composed, The Last Mistress, Breillat's 11th film, deals with the theme she has put forth in such previous work as "Romance" and "Fat Girl": how women deal with sexual desire. -

Meant to evoke filmmaking of a bygone era, but this time the director is more restrained visually, while making use of a more conventionally structured script than usual. And he has a real, honest-to-goodness star in Rossellini. -

Viewers unfamiliar with the politics of the era might feel lost as the plot unfolds, and the 139-minute running time might be a bit much. But why quibble?- Posted Apr 15, 2011
