The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/4 “Director Ang Lee has a sharp eye for Chinese values in transition, and the performances are strong.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Sommersby (1993) 63% 3/4 “What sounded like an embarrassing blunder -- the romantic pairing of Richard Gere and Jodie Foster -- turns out to be surprisingly entertaining and persuasive. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review All the Mornings of the World (1991) 91% 4/4 “It's a serene meditation on loss, grief and musicianship, with a magnificent score assembled and performed by Jordi Savall. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Passion Fish (1992) 100% 4/4 “Set In Louisiana bayou country, John Sayles' new character drama -- his best by far -- stars Mary McDonnell as a soap-opera actress who returns to her childhood home after a paralyzing accident.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review The Last Days of Chez Nous (1992) 86% 3/4 “It's not Armstrong's best, and yet it's a pleasure to watch her tell a story through subtle details and interior moments.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Jack the Bear (1991) 28% 1/4 “It's all about renewal and forgiving and conquering old demons, but it's filtered through Hallmark Card goo. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Federico Fellini's Intervista (1987) 79% 3/4 “Mixing nostalgia and irony, Fellini's reverie has a sad undercurrent -- as if he didn't have the energy to do something more ambitious. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Indochine (1992) 74% 3/4 “Deneuve elevates all with innate dignity and a surprisingly impassioned performance.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review The Stolen Children (1992) 86% 2/4 “The two child actors are wonderful, but Amelio is so absorbed with formal composition and slow, self-conscious pacing that his film feels drained. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Howards End (1992) 94% 4/4 “Adapted from E.M. Forster's novel of human connections and follies, this newest film from the James Ivory / Ishmail Merchant / Ruth Prower Jhabvala team is close to flawless. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review A Few Good Men (1992) 84% 2.5/4 “It's directed with taut efficiency by Rob Reiner. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Damage (1992) 80% 3/4 “Louis Malle's beleaguered tale of sexual obsession is a strange but satisfying hybrid of high-gloss trash and Greek tragedy.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (1992) 69% 2/4 “Harris' debut feature has a hipness and a feel for the language of the streets that isn't faked, and it's great to see a young black woman's point of view for once. But the direction is sloppy, much of the acting amateurish, and the film falls to pieces. ” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 11, 2023 Full Review The Celluloid Closet (1995) 97% 4/4 “"The Celluloid Closet" goes all the way back to the birth of cinema, to an experimental Thomas Edison short of two men dancing, to trace the odd, funny, sad and disgraceful history of homosexual iconography on film.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 28, 2020 Full Review Carrie (2002) 20% “In the time it takes you to watch the remake, you could drive to the nearest video/DVD outlet, watch the original "Carrie" at home and return it -- and still have an hour to spare.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Five Easy Pieces (1970) 89% 4/4 “If the function of art is to help an audience feel less alone, then Five Easy Pieces succeeds beautifully.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Dead Man (1995) 69% 3/4 “[The] metaphysical context benefits enormously from the haunting musical themes that Neil Young wrote, underlining the film's psychedelic/apocalyptic edge, and from the stunning black-and-white camera work of Robby Muller.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 9, 2018 Full Review The Portrait of a Lady (1996) 47% 2/4 “Breathtakingly beautiful in parts, Portrait as a whole is pretentious, stifling and taxing.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Lola (1961) 95% “An ode to yearning and enchantment -- a valentine to France, to beautiful women, to the foolish but delicious notions of romance that we receive from Hollywood.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 1, 2017 Full Review Anthem (1997) 80% 1/4 “a naive, surprisingly sloppy documentary.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 22, 2007 Full Review A Short Film About Love (1988) 95% 3/4 “It's well-crafted and satisfying, even if it lacks the depth of Red.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 7, 2004 Full Review A Short Film About Killing (1988) 91% 3/4 “Kieslowski movingly demonstrates the unexpected connections that strangers make, and ponders the metaphysical forces that not only bind us, but also redeem us.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 29, 2004 Full Review My Life Without Me (2003) 65% 4/4 “One of the year's sweetest surprises.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 10, 2003 Full Review Power Trip (2003) 94% 3/4 “A bleak picture.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 10, 2003 Full Review Dog Days (2001) 49% 3/4 “This is a lament on the human condition, free of scented roses and free of solemnity.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 3, 2003 Full Review
