The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) 80% “The Hunchback of Notre Dame is now a Disney cartoon, for Pete's sake. What that means is that its makers are so fixed on the infantilization of their audiences that they can't begin to conceive that children of all ages could deal with certain truths.” – Newsday Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “The result was so peacock-bright and frenetic that it's easy to ignore the fact that as musical filmmaking, it's a washout.” – The Advocate Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Borstal Boy (2000) 47% “The result is as entertaining and manipulative as such a formula might promise, helped immeasurably by engaging performances from the two male leads.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Storytelling (2001) 54% “[A] ribald and welcome work of social commentary.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Igby Goes Down (2002) 75% “Igby Goes Down exudes more pain than any screwball comedy should be asked to.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Gattaca (1997) 82% “You have to admire Niccol's humanizing agenda in movie terrain usually crowded with numbing technology and digital stereo explosions. But jeez, what a downer.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Lilies (1996) 89% “When a high-concept soap opera works overtime to be high art, you get something like Lilies.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Mrs. Dalloway (1997) 71% “It's a complicated strategy -- the film manages to jump three time frames and locales before the end of the opening credits -- but it works.” – The Advocate Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Reno: Rebel Without a Pause (2002) 80% “Rebel Without a Pause is never more necessary than when it calls into question our own vulnerability to patriotic fervor.” – The Advocate May 4, 2022 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% “We came to praise Crowe, but we marched away with newfound allegiance to Phoenix.” – The Advocate May 4, 2022 Full Review The Golden Bowl (2000) 54% “Screenwriter Jhabvala grabs us by the collar with a cloak-and-dagger prologue that ratchets up the stakes throughout the genteel dance of adultery and denial that follows.” – The Advocate May 3, 2022 Full Review Second Skin (1999) “Bardem and Roth give it their all in Second Skin, a stupefying daytime soap in movie clothing that might be better titled As the World Grinds to a Dead Halt.” – The Advocate May 3, 2022 Full Review Southern Comfort (2001) 96% “This is one family portrait you're going to keep on the mantelpiece.” – The Advocate Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Jeanne and the Perfect Guy (1998) 71% “An Umbrellas of Cherbourg for the mid-plague years.” – The Advocate Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Before Night Falls (2000) 74% “Director Schnabel makes all the right moves, not the least of which is the witty double-casting of Johnny Depp.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Velvet Goldmine (1998) 63% “The music is thumping and infectious, the costumes of Sandy Powell a show unto themselves.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Better Than Chocolate (1999) 46% “Better Than Chocolate is polished and insouciant and boasts the flashiest club numbers since The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Edge of Seventeen (1998) 80% “The film has a "lived" quality that lets you know the writer has been there.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review My Life in Pink (1997) 93% “The film's redemptive ending leaves open the possibility of growth and healing in all links of the community chain. If you must relive the agony of a misfit childhood, Ma Vie en Rose is a compassionate way to go.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review In & Out (1997) 74% “Buoyed by Paul Rudnick's loopiest screenplay to date and a fizzy all-star ensemble led by Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack, In & Out may be one of the four or five truly funny studio comedies since Some Like It Hot.” – The Advocate Apr 19, 2022 Full Review Stolen Moments (1997) “While Wescott occasionally succumbs to the stilted new documentary fashion for dramatic simulation, it is in these historical glimpses (narrated with finesse by Kate Nelligan) that Stolen Moments builds in potency.” – The Advocate Apr 5, 2022 Full Review The Cockettes (2002) 91% “The Cockettes is the most celebratory document of sexual transgression since Paris Is Burning.” – The Advocate Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Our Lady of the Assassins (2000) 77% “The tension of the inevitable pulls tautly at the lovers, like a mousetrap spring ready to snap at the slightest provocation.” – The Advocate Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Live Flesh (1997) 80% “Few directors could bring together such a seductive collection of players for both women and men to revel in, then photograph them with an instinctive line into their sensuality that leaves most films, mainstream or porn, in the dust.” – The Advocate Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Woman on Top (2000) 35% “Torres directs it all with the requisite Doris Day sparkle and fizz, plus a heady dose of samba and scenery.” – The Advocate Apr 5, 2022 Full Review
