I found it pretty compelling to watch how quickly the group of survivors rediscovers first rationality, then subjectivism and nihilism, and finally a sort of Rortyish attempt to re-found human society on storytelling.

[Dawn of the Dead] manages to comment with wit and excitement on the same ideas that Time of the Wolf treats so seriously and glumly.

This quiet, contemplative look at a social apocalypse is intensely harrowing and stark.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 21, 2007

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Has a feral intensity.

| Original Score: B+ | May 4, 2005

Couldn't be more boring and less entertaining, though it certainly was masterfully photographed.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 30, 2004

It has the effect of a game in which the viewer needs to fill in the missing pieces.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2004

A minimalist story about a minimalist future - it's just not very entertaining.

Although the scenes are often dark and shrouded in mist, the film is replete with cinematic portraiture that sears itself into memory.

| Original Score: B | Sep 16, 2004

It's a time travel film, in a sense--not into the future, but into the undifferentiated past.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 15, 2004

The questions the film raises are more interesting than the film itself.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 3, 2004

When, after the fact, that missing fifth reel was shown, it made what was intriguingly vague now seem obvious, trite and drawn out.

| Original Score: C | Sep 2, 2004

A gravely realized and often chilling look at what might happen to ordinary people if all their support systems suddenly collapsed.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Aug 27, 2004

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 9, 2004

The French-language film traipses through such familiar territory, it's hard to be as moved and devastated as we're clearly supposed to be.
