One of those welcome visitors, a movie that turns out to be much more than we expected.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 20, 2002

A canny (and profoundly sexy) movie.

A closely observed, somewhat funny, ultimately very sad movie.

Unfolds in a low-key, organic way that encourages you to accept it as life and go with its flow.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 14, 2002

This may be Dover Kosashvili's feature directing debut, but it looks an awful lot like life -- gritty, awkward and ironic.

| Original Score: B | Jun 13, 2002

An unforgettable look at morality, family, and social expectation through the prism of that omnibus tradition called marriage.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 7, 2002

It feels like a devastatingly honest portrait of how old-world family loyalties are both a haven and a prison -- for two generations.

A seriocomic debut of extravagant promise by Georgian-Israeli director Dover Kosashvili.

Late Marriage is not a one-level film, and one of its most revealing moments shows the strong-minded mother expressing respect for the equally iron-willed Judith.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 31, 2002

The last scenes of the film are anguished, bitter and truthful. Mr. Koshashvili is a director to watch.

Judith and Zaza's extended bedroom sequence ... is so intimate and sensual and funny and psychologically self-revealing that it makes most of what passes for sex in the movies look like cheap hysterics.

Full Review | May 26, 2002

Will assuredly rank as one of the cleverest, most deceptively amusing comedies of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 22, 2002

There's none of the happily-ever -after spangle of Monsoon Wedding in Late Marriage -- and that's part of what makes Dover Kosashvili's outstanding feature debut so potent.

| Original Score: A- | May 17, 2002

The frankness of Kosashvili's film may be a bit breathtaking, but because it is, you believe every moment.

Features one of the most affecting depictions of a love affair ever committed to film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 17, 2002

Superbly brash, raunchy, and confrontational.
