The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/4 “Director Ang Lee displays a light, loving touch with his material, never straining for big laughs or madcaps sequences.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 16, 2025 Full Review The Lion King (1994) 93% 4/4 “The Lion King is frequently hilarious, thanks to about half a dozen primarily comedic actors who are given lively dialogue and zesty performers to voice it. ” – Detroit Free Press Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Pocahontas (1995) 58% 3/4 “There's no getting around the fact that Pocahontas is a disappointment. But there's also no denying that such a judgment owes as much to the glories of its recent Disney predecessors as to its own shortcomings.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Little Women (1994) 92% 2/4 “Little Women feels stagey and stilted.” – Detroit Free Press Apr 11, 2024 Full Review The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 89% 3/4 “It's a blissfully old-fashioned melodrama spanning three decades, a classic tall tale that experiences some particularly incredible growth spurts toward the end but manages to endure them without alienating the viewer.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Forrest Gump (1994) 75% 3/4 “It turns tedious toward the end... But when it's good, it's very good, and the way it blends star Tom Hanks, who plays the title character, into actual historical film footage will tickle you to no end.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 4/4 “Travolta and Thurman are mesmerizing in Pulp Fiction, as is Samuel L. Jackson. Their performances stand out amid many effective ones, including a late but savory appearance by Harvey Keitel.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Quiz Show (1994) 97% 4/4 “Historians will no doubt find this argument simplistic... So be it. The fact remains that Quiz Show is a marvelously acted, intelligently crafted drama that contains a wealth of astute observations about the character of this country and its citizens.” – Detroit Free Press Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Boys on the Side (1995) 73% “Boys on the Side is most impressive as a thorough grab bag of au courant social issues, a celluloid pantheon of politically correct topics. ” – Detroit Free Press Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Braveheart (1995) 76% 3/4 “[Braveheart] is stirring in ways that not too many movies are, and to a degree that not too many movies achieve. You fight it, but it wins.” – Detroit Free Press Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Wyatt Earp (1994) 31% 2/4 “It's refreshing to have a filmmaker treat you with this kind of intelligence. It would be nice if he did a better job of entertaining you in the process.” – Detroit Free Press Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Go Fish (1994) 76% 3/4 “It's also witty and, in the end, subtly heartwarming, a lurching-toward-love story for anyone who's ever felt a romantic stirring.” – Detroit Free Press Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Pather Panchali (1955) 98% 3/4 “[Pather Panchali] offers the pleasures of exquisite black-and-white cinematography and eye-opening glimpses of life in a poor Indian village, but much less in the way of compelling, accessible storytelling.” – Detroit Free Press May 5, 2021 Full Review The Ballad of Little Jo (1993) 77% 2/4 “Ballad is short on tension and talk and long on landscape shots.” – Detroit Free Press Mar 18, 2021 Full Review
