The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) 86% “This is what I find to be of such value in [it]; that it risks offence for the sake of constructing a dialogue, one fraught with so many perils in the realms of politics, religion, cultures and sex, that it would not be worth it if it weren’t necessary.” – Senses of Cinema Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Nobody Wants the Night (2015) 8% C- “This time Coixet may have bitten off more than she could chew, with the challenges of filming a historical adventure movie leaving her heroine sorely underdeveloped.” – IndieWire Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Chi-Raq (2015) 82% “In "Chi-raq," Lee mixes fierce agitprop with lyrical musical numbers and Greek-inspired sex farce in hip hop verse. It's a mad combination that fittingly addresses a world of madness.” – TheWrap Nov 23, 2015 Full Review Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011) 48% 3/5 “While the story is formula cornball, director Mark Waters sells it confidently, handling the unruly antarctic denizens as amiably as he handled Lindsay Lohan in his Freaky Friday remake and Mean Girls.” – Time Out Jun 15, 2011 Full Review Mission Street Rhapsody (2009) 50% 3/5 “Bratt's performance suggests enough subcutaneous rage to give the proceedings an edge, even when the sluggish narrative takes the slow-cruise ethos of its low-rider culture far too literally at times.” – Time Out Apr 7, 2010 Full Review City Island (2009) 83% 3/5 “Who would think that a sleepy seaside snippet of the Bronx could foster a Faulkner novel's worth of family skeletons?” – Time Out Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Pranzo di Ferragosto (2008) 88% 4/5 “It's like watching John Cassavetes trapped in a mega-episode of The Golden Girls.” – Time Out Mar 17, 2010 Full Review Stolen (2009) 0% 2/5 “Anders Anderson's thriller struggles to intertwine the two mysteries and ends up doing justice to neither.” – Time Out Mar 10, 2010 Full Review Children of Invention (2009) 79% 2/5 “Children of Invention seems furiously scribbled in shorthand, undermining what it has to offer in contemporary resonance.” – Time Out Mar 10, 2010 Full Review Prodigal Sons (2008) 87% 2/5 “Instead of pushing deeper into any psychological dilemmas, this dirty-laundry doc gets lost in a sensationalistic flurry driven by a serious emotional unraveling.” – Time Out Feb 24, 2010 Full Review The Art of the Steal (2009) 85% 3/4 “Argott advances Wire creator David Simon's art to offer a leaner, meaner template for complex investigative filmmaking.” – Slant Magazine Feb 15, 2010 Full Review October Country (2009) 88% 5/5 “Intimate yet larger-than-life, this masterpiece of the everyday shows you don't need James Cameron's toy box to make images pop from the screen, much less to see and embrace the world anew.” – Time Out Feb 10, 2010 Full Review To Die for Tano (2010) 33% 4/5 “Torre's debut takes true incidents from the Mafia wars that plagued Palermo in the late '80s and kicks them into a deliriously gaudy farce.” – Time Out Feb 10, 2010 Full Review Eyes Wide Open (2009) 86% 3/5 “The drama's moments of inspiration vindicate its desultory proceedings.” – Time Out Feb 3, 2010 Full Review Old Partner (2009) 92% 3/5 “At its best, the film adopts its subjects' spartan demeanor, relying on wordless sequences that vividly depict the rhythms of farm labor...” – Time Out Dec 30, 2009 Full Review Ninja Assassin (2009) 26% 2/5 “Perhaps such phenomenal slaughter is best left to the imagination.” – Time Out Dec 2, 2009 Full Review Old Dogs (2009) 5% 2/5 “Only the irrepressible Luis Guzmn, stuck in a walk-on bit as the stereotypical mooching Hispanic, is able to milk this cash cow and exit with his dignity intact.” – Time Out Nov 25, 2009 Full Review Oh, My God!! (2009) 22% 2/5 “The musings of celebrities like Seal and Ringo Starr are given prominence over those of religious leaders and scholars, while a relentless Moby-esque soundtrack subsumes each insight into a sonic miasma of theism.” – Time Out Nov 11, 2009 Full Review Endgame (2009) 71% 3/5 “William Hurt and Chiwetel Ejiofor, impressive at opposite ends of the table as a government mouthpiece and a philosophy professor, provide all the fireworks the story needs.” – Time Out Nov 4, 2009 Full Review Skin (2008) 86% 2/5 “Unable to probe the complex relationships engendered by a biracial society, Skin simply becomes an example of colorless, by-the-numbers apartheid cinema.” – Time Out Oct 28, 2009 Full Review (Untitled) (2009) 64% 1/5 “(Untitled)'s onslaught of self-indulgent bohos and art-vs.-commerce clichs are as ersatz as their objects of scorn.” – Time Out Oct 21, 2009 Full Review Min Ye (2009) 2.5/4 “But more than probing the societal norms that undermine his salacious couple's bid at happiness, Cisse is also out to dissect the sordid relationship between storytelling and reality.” – Slant Magazine Oct 4, 2009 Full Review Unmade Beds (2009) 79% 2/5 “The conventions of contemporary youth culture and cinema could both use a change of sheets.” – Time Out Sep 2, 2009 Full Review The English Surgeon (2007) 89% 3/5 “While the film leaves this bundle of post-Soviet contradictions packed up, its vrit depiction of the surgeon's life surpasses the likes of ER.” – Time Out Jul 23, 2009 Full Review Shrink (2009) 27% 2/5 “Never mind the crazy cast; this weary retread of trendy multicharacter melodramas is what's really unhinged.” – Time Out Jul 23, 2009 Full Review
