The White Girl (1990) “Well-meaning but harrowingly amateurish.” – Washington Post Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Lone Star (1996) 91% “It's a carefully crafted, unapologetically literary accomplishment, and, for many, this fact alone will be enough to recommend it. So why, then, does it feel so lifeless?” – Washington Post Sep 6, 2023 Full Review La Haine (1995) 96% “Hate, the brilliant, abrasive new film from French writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz, is all muscle and rage. From the opening shot, it punishes us with the intensity of its explosive black-and-white images.” – Washington Post Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% “If you've never understood Stanwyck's appeal, this is the movie to see. Her worldliness is bracing; more than any other movie heroine of her day, she makes tartness and dash seductive.” – Washington Post Dec 28, 2022 Full Review The Runner (1984) 100% “[Amiro's] unguarded exuberance hits you with unexpected force. It stays with you.” – Washington Post Jul 21, 2021 Full Review Tequila Sunrise (1988) 53% “Sexy and intelligent is an irresistible combination, and "Tequila Sunrise" is the sexiest, most intelligent Hollywood movie in a long time.” – Washington Post Aug 12, 2020 Full Review Crossing Delancey (1988) 82% “Crossing Delancey has its charms, but they are of a highly perishable sort; the more you think about it, the more mixed your feelings become.” – Washington Post Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Million Dollar Mystery (1987) 0% “How much do you want a million dollars? If your answer is, "Bad enough to sit through just about anything," then go ahead, I dare ya, try to last through the whole thing.” – Washington Post Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Don Juan DeMarco (1995) 72% “Though the material is thin, the actors do seem to be getting a kick out of playing off each other.” – Washington Post Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Far and Away (1992) 51% “Far and Away... is the director's attempt to step into the cinematic shoes of directors John Ford and David Lean. And, certainly, he's stepped into something with this sprawling, old-fashioned melodrama.” – Washington Post Oct 25, 2018 Full Review Homicide (1991) 88% “David Mamet's "Homicide" is a brilliant muddle: compelling, exhilarating and, at the same time, profoundly dubious.” – Washington Post Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 76% “It is, as his films usually are, dense, complex, and challenging. It is also, sad to say, ponderous, often inscrutable, and ultimately not much fun.” – New Times Dec 13, 2014 Full Review Repentance (1984) 71% “Its significance as a social and historical document far outstrips its value as art.” – Washington Post Aug 26, 2014 Full Review Wild Wild West (1999) 16% “Those expecting the quick wit and inventiveness of the television series will certainly be disappointed, as will those who expect the hip suavity that one usually gets from any performance by Will Smith.” – New Times Jun 16, 2014 Full Review The Rookie (1990) 33% “There's even a scene in which Sheen's rich father screams, "I gave you everything you ever wanted!" To which he yells back, "You were never there for me!" Right out of Arthur Miller, isn't it?” – Washington Post May 27, 2014 Full Review Trainspotting (1996) 90% “A cocktail of scuzzy charm, nerve and despair that seduces and repulses in nearly equal proportions. It packs a jolt, all right. But it leaves you with a brutal hangover, too.” – Washington Post Jun 26, 2013 Full Review Mister Frost (1990) 33% “Thousands of actors have played Lucifer, but none has ever given him this particular charismatic brand of idiosyncratic loopiness.” – Washington Post Dec 27, 2011 Full Review The Birdcage (1996) 84% “If The Birdcage isn't exactly the Mike Nichols-Elaine May movie of our dreams, it does manage to transform what was formerly a campy bit of French fluff into one of the loopiest, most hysterical family-values movies ever made.” – Washington Post May 27, 2011 Full Review Zero City (1988) 86% “Little in life is as patience-trying as failed outrageousness, and that's what City Zero gives us.” – Washington Post Apr 4, 2011 Full Review From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) 65% “A tired, humorless pastiche of various exploitation genres that is not the least bit imaginative in its campy deconstruction of conventions.” – Washington Post Nov 18, 2008 Full Review James and the Giant Peach (1996) 91% “The latest in an impressive string of first-rate movies for kids.” – Washington Post Sep 3, 2008 Full Review Richard III (1995) 96% “In a shamelessly entertaining display of acting brilliance, McKellen 'plays' the demon's good arm as if it were a Stradivarius, executing one showy stunt after another.” – Washington Post Feb 27, 2008 Full Review Let's Get Lost (1988) 97% “Weber is working here out of a highly specialized interest, and what he means to say about his subject comes to us through layers of ambivalence.” – Washington Post Jun 13, 2007 Full Review Barb Wire (1996) 28% “The movie carries its cyberpunk variation right through to the end, and usually with enough wit and craziness to freshen the mix. Then, there is Pamela, whose tight, disciplined performance deserves more respect than it will almost certainly get.” – Washington Post Apr 27, 2007 Full Review Emma (1996) 84% “Suddenly you remember how merciless and cutting Austen's satire can be, even in the brutal '90s.” – Washington Post Aug 19, 2006 Full Review
