Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2004) 96% “Plagues & Pleasures does a great job of presenting both the place and its problems, its delights and its curiosities.” – SF Weekly Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Merry Christmas (2005) 74% “Except for a few missteps, the movie is so beautifully and sensitively rendered in its particulars, in its characterizations of soldiers and officers, and in its dramatization of a nearly miraculous event, that the result is an affecting piece of cinema.” – New Times Dec 14, 2014 Full Review 51 Birch Street (2005) 97% “The resulting documentary begins shakily, with a naked self-consciousness that can be off-putting, but quickly develops into an absorbing and ever deepening drama.” – Village Voice Oct 18, 2006 Full Review Broken Sky (2006) 43% “Without dialogue, we don't know who the characters are, so we can't care about what they do.” – Village Voice Sep 26, 2006 Full Review Zen Noir (2004) 29% “Any hopes that Marc Rosenbush's film might transcend its unimaginative title are dashed almost immediately, as manic fade-outs, fade-ins and overlays of portentous symbols give way to mannered dialogue and bad jokes.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 22, 2006 Full Review American Blackout (2006) 77% “McKinney's basic truths remain convincing.” – Village Voice Sep 19, 2006 Full Review Red Doors (2005) 64% “Red Doors is so well-meaning, with such obvious affection for its characters, that it pleases nonetheless.” – Village Voice Sep 5, 2006 Full Review Queens (2005) 45% “With five overbearing mothers and six overshadowed gay sons, this Spanish meet-the-parents ensemble farce aims for Almodvar but falls far short.” – Village Voice Aug 25, 2006 Full Review Princesas (2005) 74% “De Aranoa never condescends to his subjects, and Caye's mixture of aggression and tenderness is appealingly authentic. Could this be the first film to use a cell phone ringtone to devastating emotional effect?” – Village Voice Aug 22, 2006 Full Review Factotum (2005) 74% “Bent Hamer's deadpan adaptation of the Charles Bukowski novel has an appealing listlessness, but it begs the question: Is there anything left to learn from this material?” – Village Voice Aug 15, 2006 Full Review The Puffy Chair (2005) 77% “It may not seem like much, but The Puffy Chair works.” – Village Voice Aug 2, 2006 Full Review Been Rich All My Life (2006) 79% “The Silver Belles, five former Harlem chorus girls who are still bustin' a move despite their advanced ages, are the best kind of company there is.” – Village Voice Jul 18, 2006 Full Review Autumn (2006) 25% “[The] film begins with too much pretension but matures into a slinky, sexy piece of mood music.” – Village Voice Jun 6, 2006 Full Review Guys and Balls (2004) 36% “It sounds like gay porn, but it's actually a delightful romantic comedy from Germany.” – Village Voice May 2, 2006 Full Review Somersault (2004) 84% “Somersault's dreamy, sexy, rather chilly style captures Heidi's attempt to escape her past, to build something new atop the rubble of what came before, and ultimately to hide it.” – Village Voice Apr 18, 2006 Full Review La mujer de mi hermano (2005) 18% “Everything happens so slowly, and so meaningfully, that we see it coming for miles.” – Village Voice Apr 11, 2006 Full Review Simon (2004) 67% “Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.” – Village Voice Apr 4, 2006 Full Review Adam & Steve (2005) 56% “Writer-director Craig Chester's debut is truly enjoyable.” – Village Voice Mar 28, 2006 Full Review
