Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 3.5/4 “A lavish, big-budget period picture, old-school in its set-building and packed, teeming frames of extras in period-perfect clothes.” – Chicago Tribune Oct 19, 2023 Full Review The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) 79% 3.5/4 “You watch what happens, often dreading the worst. Even when the worst comes, though, it comes with honor and a kind of grace.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 4, 2013 Full Review Loveless (2011) 80% 3/4 “Watch for [director] Serry; he is a genuine talent, with a sidewinding sense of humor and an affection for his characters.” – Chicago Tribune Dec 6, 2011 Full Review Four Lions (2009) 84% 5/5 “I think it's appalling in all the right ways. While its lingering aftertaste of ashes in the mouth is unmistakable, I'd argue that the subject warrants it.” – Chicago Tribune Nov 12, 2010 Full Review Suspended Animation (2002) 52% 6/10 “Anyone who's seen a horror movie in the last 20 years will frequently know what's going to happen next.” – Citysearch Oct 30, 2003 Full Review Girl Hood (2003) 94% 7/10 “It's one thing to watch the stylized Hollywood versions of troubled teens in films like Bully and Thirteen; it's another to witness the gritty reality.” – Citysearch Oct 30, 2003 Full Review Beyond Borders (2003) 14% 5/10 “A self-indulgent, unintentionally farcical romance.” – Citysearch Oct 23, 2003 Full Review Dopamine (2003) 50% 7/10 “There are just enough insightful and funny moments to expect big things from writer/director Marc Decena next time around.” – Citysearch Oct 9, 2003 Full Review The Holy Land (2001) 52% 8/10 “Terrific acting, an intriguing plot and a setting ripe with drama, violence and uncertainty make this an engrossing hour and a half.” – Citysearch Jul 11, 2003 Full Review Spellbound (2002) 97% 9/10 “This wonderful documentary grabs you from the first scene with its riveting profiles of these unusual children.” – Citysearch Jun 2, 2003 Full Review People I Know (2002) 45% 6/10 “It diverges way off course into an unnecessary murder mystery that takes away from the exciting pace found in the revved up scenes of Eli's daily life.” – Citysearch Apr 24, 2003 Full Review The Young Unknowns (2000) 14% 3/10 “Rolls everything people hate about L.A. into one unattractive spitting viper of a movie.” – Citysearch Apr 10, 2003 Full Review Irréversible (2002) 59% 8/10 “For those who can stomach it, the film is a marvelous -- though brutal -- work of art.” – Citysearch Mar 6, 2003 Full Review Chicago (2002) 87% 7/10 “Zellweger and Jones are a joy to watch (and both can really sing), but as each musical number tries to top the previous one, it gets a little redundant.” – Citysearch Dec 24, 2002 Full Review Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) 88% 8/10 “All newcomers, the young actors portray the girls with charisma, strength and nobility.” – Citysearch Nov 29, 2002 Full Review The Way Home (2002) 75% 7/10 “Everyone should be able to appreciate the wonderful cinematography and naturalistic acting.” – Citysearch Nov 14, 2002 Full Review Interview With the Assassin (2002) 67% 7/10 “As ex-Marine Walter, who may or may not have shot Kennedy, actor Raymond J. Barry is perfectly creepy and believable.” – Citysearch Nov 14, 2002 Full Review Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) 91% 8/10 “Sheds light on a subject few are familiar with, and makes you care about music you may not have heard before.” – Citysearch Nov 14, 2002 Full Review Tully (2000) 81% 9/10 “Top-notch action powers this romantic drama.” – Citysearch Oct 31, 2002 Full Review Food of Love (2002) 48% 7/10 “The film may venture into melodrama at times but it remains a moving portrait of the fragility of love and the cost of emotional closeness.” – Citysearch Oct 24, 2002 Full Review All the Queen's Men (2001) 7% 4/10 “This ludicrous film is predictable at every turn.” – Citysearch Oct 24, 2002 Full Review On Guard! (1997) 88% 9/10 “Wonderful fencing scenes and an exciting plot make this an eminently engrossing film.” – Citysearch Oct 17, 2002 Full Review The Grey Zone (2001) 70% 9/10 “Painful, horrifying and oppressively tragic, this film should not be missed.” – Citysearch Oct 17, 2002 Full Review Comedian (2002) 77% 8/10 “At times funny and at other times candidly revealing, it's an intriguing look at two performers who put themselves out there because they love what they do.” – Citysearch Oct 10, 2002 Full Review Ignorant Fairies (2001) 74% 8/10 “It treats us to beautiful insights and tragic struggles that swell the heart and make us feel genuine empathy for two people embracing the truth amidst a pack of lies.” – Citysearch Sep 20, 2002 Full Review
