He Loves Me Not (2002) 71% 5/10 “Exploring the flipside of Tautou's adorable pixie is an interesting idea, but this movie just isn't up to the task.” – Citysearch Feb 19, 2003 Full Review All the Real Girls (2003) 72% 6/10 “The film's strengths are overshadowed by Green's flawed script, which wobbles awkwardly between art-house eccentricity and trite Hollywood sentimentality.” – Citysearch Feb 19, 2003 Full Review City of God (2002) 91% 9/10 “The cast of unknown actors, many from the real ghetto, provides the movie with unexpected heart and humor.” – Citysearch Jan 24, 2003 Full Review The Slaughter Rule (2002) 77% 8/10 “The movie has a richness that blows away most first features, not to mention most sports movies.” – Citysearch Jan 16, 2003 Full Review The Pianist (2002) 95% 9/10 “It's an unforgettable story, and a welcome return to form for Polanksi.” – Citysearch Dec 24, 2002 Full Review About Schmidt (2002) 86% 8/10 “An utterly believable and gut-wrenching portrait of Midwestern loneliness.” – Citysearch Dec 19, 2002 Full Review Gangs of New York (2002) 72% 7/10 “Not surprisingly, director Martin Scorsese delivers an ambitious spectacle with jaw-dropping sets and bone-crunching battles.” – Citysearch Dec 19, 2002 Full Review Better Housekeeping (2000) 44% 3/10 “As pure over-the-top trash, any John Waters movie has it beat by a country mile.” – Citysearch Nov 21, 2002 Full Review Far From Heaven (2002) 87% 6/10 “The performances here are impeccable ... and Haynes has created a beautiful world that seems eternally stuck in autumn, but the plodding, hesitant story feels as artificial as the Whitaker's love life.” – Citysearch Nov 7, 2002 Full Review Auto Focus (2002) 71% 7/10 “The strong performances do make it worth a look.” – Citysearch Oct 17, 2002 Full Review Real Women Have Curves (2002) 85% 5/10 “The film is hampered by its predictable plot and paper-thin supporting characters.” – Citysearch Oct 17, 2002 Full Review Below (2002) 65% 6/10 “The movie stays afloat thanks to its hallucinatory production design.” – Citysearch Oct 10, 2002 Full Review
