The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 99% “[The actors] are all as right as right can be and lightest of all is the quiet charm with which Lubitsch has taken a frivolous little Molnaresque story and turned it into a silken and witty ninety minutes of delectable froth.” – Sight & Sound Nov 8, 2022 Full Review How Green Was My Valley (1941) 93% “John Ford proves in it that he's no better than his scenario, which is a dull thing relieved only by the opportunity it gives Donald Crisp for a tender and moving performance. ” – Sight & Sound Jul 26, 2022 Full Review The Wages of Fear (1953) 100% “Clouzot makes the most of the suspense inherent in such a tale, you can be sure, but his attitude is hopeless from the start and a sense of doom hangs over the film from the very beginning, long before the terrible end. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1943) “Shot in handsome Agfacolor and replete with bizarrerie without end, including some amusing erotic passages, Baron Munchausen, in its original German version, is quite a spectacle. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review One Summer of Happiness (1952) “One Summer of Happiness, a Swedish film, has all the virtues of the best Swedish films -- a deep feeling for nature, a healthy attitude towards sex, and a genuine dislike for religious bigotry. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Umberto D (1952) 98% “It is exquisite in its simplicity, and if "Neo-realism" had to finally give way in the Italian cinema to a more optimistic outlook, it is good to see that up to the last no compromise with the truth was made. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Othello (1955) 87% “A flashy, heavily emotional (as it should be), frequently bizarre, but always visually and dramatically exciting rendition of Shakespeare's tragedy.” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review The Game of Love (1954) “As a civilized excursion into the mysteries of sex, The Game of Love is a salutary achievement. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Romeo and Juliet (1954) 80% “As Shakespeare it seems flat, but as a reconstruction of Mantua and Verona of the 15th century it is extraordinarily handsome. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Song of the Land (1953) “Some of the greatest shots of wildlife and natural forces are in this very remarkable compilation, patiently made over a long period of years. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Hansel and Gretel (1954) “For adults who have been enchanted by the best of Disney, there is no enchantment here. Indeed, I found it utterly lacking in imagination or humor and completely without charm. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review A Star Is Born (1954) 98% “Something of the monstrous artificiality of Hollywood comes through most acutely in various incisive touches and certainly A Star is Born will take its place among the most acutely observed films about Hollywood life. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Desiree (1954) 20% “It has not the satirical edge and ironic bite of Sacha Guitry's Desiree Clary, but it is pleasant and just rueful enough in its humors to make for agreeable seeing. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Carmen Jones (1954) 75% “Even if Carmen Jones is not the genuine folk opera that Porgy and Bess is, being a pastiche, at best, it is an immensely spirited pastiche, with real gusto. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Animal Farm (1954) 67% “It is a fable, or allegory, in which human actions are presented in the guise of animal actions. But how can this convince any intelligent person who knows that animals don't act that way? Aesop was far cleverer. ” – Film Culture Jun 7, 2022 Full Review I Am a Camera (1955) “For a motion picture, it is unusually literate and honest in its dialogue, which means that it doesn’t attempt to hide the truth under coy euphemisms. There is not a dishonest word or situation in it.” – Film Culture Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Ivan the Terrible, Part II (1958) 100% “All the virtues of Part 1 are again present: the stunning pictorial compositions and sombre chiaroscuro of the lighting, the brooding weight of implacable destiny that hangs like a pall over the gloomy palace interior.” – Film Culture Mar 29, 2022 Full Review Touch of Evil (1958) 97% “[The] ticking of the time bomb, which guides us into the parallel rhythm of a mambo in the nondescript little Mexican border town on the night the story opens, is pure cinema, utilizing image and sound marvelously to establish an immediate effect.” – Film Culture Mar 29, 2022 Full Review Mr. Arkadin (1955) 72% “That rara avis among films -- the intensely personal expression of a highly gifted artist, intoxicated by the creative possibilities of the film medium, and who imparts something of this prodigality of joy in the medium to us.” – Film Culture Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Raíces (1953) “Raices superbly fulfills the salutary thing it set out to do, for it has been made with love to the fullest capacity of its makers.” – Film Culture Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Mrs. Miniver (1942) 93% “Wyler has become one of our most dependable directors, and I hope some day he will be given free rein to make the film he is capable of.” – Sight & Sound Jan 3, 2022 Full Review Dreams That Money Can Buy (1948) “Hans Richter's first American feature film, Dreams That Money Can Buy, is a surprise -- and a most pleasant surprise.” – Sight & Sound Apr 21, 2021 Full Review The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) 98% “It has everything it should have -- a literate and often sharp and honest script by Robert E. Sherwood, supple direction by William Wyler, and is ingratiatingly played by at least one actor -- Frederic March.” – Sight & Sound Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Lot in Sodom (1933) 86% “I have never seen light manipulated so eloquently as in these expressive lights and shadows which sometime form men or fragments of a body, sometime coagulate into flowers or break up their particles into water.” – Close Up Jan 20, 2021 Full Review To Have and Have Not (1944) 94% “Asking an audience to laugh for two hours at the delirium tremens of a man suffering from alcoholism is a grisly thing.” – Sight & Sound Aug 15, 2014 Full Review
