4/5	"*A struggling anorexic and her physical opposite form an unlikely friendship in disFIGURED, a funny, awkward and often uncomfortable drama." -- New York Times* Posted Jul 18, 2008	Disfigured (2008)	80%
3/5	"A Very British Gangster plays less like a documentary than an E! expos� of lowlife skulduggery." -- New York Times Posted Jul 18, 2008	A Very British Gangster (2008)	63%
4/5	*Assembled without frills or fuss, A Man Named Pearl* is as much a portrait of a small Southern town as of an unassuming black folk artist.** -- New York Times Posted Jul 18, 2008	A Man Named Pearl (2008)	63%
2.5/5	Has a dark desperation that’s morbidly compelling. But the movie’s amoral momentum is fatally slowed by an acronym-heavy script and flimsy characterizations that offer fine actors...little to play. -- New York Times Posted Jul 11, 2008	August (2008)	36%
2.5/5	Everyone's sorry about something in this glum drama about the way repentance can do more damage than the sin that precedes it. -- New York Times Posted Jul 9, 2008	Forgiveness (2004)	n/a
3.5/5	"Adopting a confessional, direct-to-camera interview style for most of its running time, this unvarnished v�rit� documentary about teenage prostitutes in New York City resolutely resists the urge to dramatize. The heartbreaking stories are drama enough." -- New York Times Posted Jul 7, 2008	Very Young Girls (2008)	70%
3.5/5	"This classy, heart-on-its-sleeve movie is packed with laudable life lessons and Depression-era trivia." -- New York Times Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3.5/5	"Gunnin� for That #1 Spot is an on-the-fly record of a memorable moment in basketball history." -- New York Times Posted Jun 27, 2008	Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008)	89%
3/5	Elsa & Fred is both a movie about love and a love letter to movies. -- New York Times Posted Jun 27, 2008	Elsa & Fred (2008)	60%
3/5	"Kit Kittredge: An American Girl appears poised to incite the kind of box-office frenzy more commonly associated with characters named Hannah and Harry." -- New York Times Posted Jun 20, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3/5	"*In To the Limit, Thomas and Alexander Huber run up rocks the way some of us run up credit cards -- rapidly, fearlessly and with little regard for consequences." -- New York Times* Posted Jun 13, 2008	To the Limit (2008)	67%
4/5	Beauty in Trouble uses the changing moods of water as both metaphor and frame for the infinite adaptability of human emotions. -- New York Times Posted Jun 13, 2008	Beauty in Trouble (2008)	69%
1.5/5	"Like a dog unleashed in a field full of rabbits, he chases one shard of �evidence� after another � a second gunman, a girl in a polka-dot dress --without bothering to arrange them in any coherent pattern." -- New York Times Posted Jun 6, 2008	RFK MUST DIE! The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy (2007)	67%
3.5/5	"You don’t have to be a fan of African tunes to appreciate Jacques Sarasin’s heartfelt ode to Congolese music and its resilient practitioners." -- New York Times Posted Jun 6, 2008	On the Rumba River (2008)	83%
4/5	This is no splatter movie: spare, suspenseful and brilliantly invested in silence, Bryan Bertino’s debut feature unfolds in a slow crescendo of intimidation. -- New York Times Posted May 30, 2008	The Strangers (2008)	41%
4/5	"*Deceptively simple and threaded with gentle humor, Mukhsin* paints the turmoil of puppy love on a canvas of family relationships as delightful as it is believable.*" -- New York Times* Posted May 28, 2008	Mukhsin (2006)	n/a
3.5/5	"A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee." -- New York Times Posted May 23, 2008	The Machine Girl (2008)	63%
4/5	Roger Spottiswoode directs with old-fashioned style, avoiding the saccharine with realistic depictions of a war-ravaged China (where he filmed) and a cast well versed in stiff-upper-lip. -- New York Times Posted May 23, 2008	The Children of Huang Shi (2008)	26%
4/5	"*In The Memory Thief, a strange and melancholy journey to the heart of madness, a rootless young man finds meaning in the horrors of a stolen past." -- New York Times* Posted May 9, 2008	The Memory Thief (2008)	77%
2/5	"*More tired than the fantasy it promotes, A Previous Engagement* aims at middle-aged women with the subtlety of a pitch for bladder-control medication.*" -- New York Times* Posted May 9, 2008	A Previous Engagement (2008)	35%
4/5	*Adam Hootnick�s Unsettled* makes the political personal, drawing a scattershot yet intimate picture of a nation divided.** -- New York Times Posted May 9, 2008	Unsettled (2008)	100%

2/5	A dreary, interminable drama written and directed by Eva Aridjis, is exactly one-third of a good movie. -- New York Times Posted May 2, 2008	The Favor (2008)	39%
3.5/5	*For a tale spiked with so much torment, Fugitive Pieces* feels remarkably soothing.** -- New York Times Posted May 2, 2008	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	69%
4.5/5	Without the King, Michael Skolnik�s subtly perceptive documentary, avoids a tone of first-world outrage; leaning more toward understanding than blame, the film examines a country forced to choose between tradition and survival. -- New York Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Without the King (2008)	94%
3/5	*A women-behind-bars plot seething with lesbianism, incest, hanging and catfights -- on paper, at least, Four Minutes* promises more fun than a Roger Corman marathon.** -- New York Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	Four Minutes (2007)	76%
2.5/5	"*A hair�s breadth from hagiography, Scott Hicks�s Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts* is much like its subject: affable, quotable and emotionally guarded in the extreme.*" -- New York Times* Posted Apr 18, 2008	Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008)	71%
1/5	*One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed* is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.** -- New York Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)	8%
1/5	"*For a film about erotomania, Prom Night* is a curiously flaccid affair.*" -- New York Times* Posted Apr 14, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	8%

2.5/5	*Modest to a fault, the introverted family drama Tehilim* circles an unsolved mystery and unresolved emotions.** -- New York Times Posted Apr 10, 2008	Tehilim (2007)	29%
4/5	"*A spoonful of fashion helps the feminism go down in Nana, a delightful pop fairy tale that speaks to young women in the language of sisterhood and self-direction." -- New York Times* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nana (2005)	60%
2/5	"*If Nim�s Island* were anything but a children�s movie, the casting genius who suggested Jodie Foster as a potential love interest for Gerard Butler would be looking for a new occupation.*" -- New York Times* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	49%
3.5/5	Hats Off is a documentary tribute to the 93-year-old actress Mimi Weddell, one of those people for whom the word 'individual' seems especially apt. -- New York Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Hats Off (2008)	38%
2.5/5	*The flailing, protagonists of Backseat,* while not exactly 40-year-old virgins, can have avoided that fate only by the tender mercies of women with low expectations.** -- New York Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Backseat (2008)	8%

2/5	*Directed, with visible earnestness, by Patricia Riggen, Under the Same Moon* blunts the hard edges of immigration with a thick coating of preciousness.** -- New York Times Posted Mar 19, 2008	Under the Same Moon (2008)	73%
3/5	"War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death is a depressing look at political manipulation and news media compliance." -- New York Times Posted Mar 14, 2008	War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2008)	88%

1/5	Eyes popping and mouths agape, Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symon� mug their way through College Road Trip as if it were a silent movie -- which, come to think of it, would have been a lot less irritating. -- New York Times Posted Mar 7, 2008	College Road Trip (2008)	14%
4.5/5	"*Featuring exceptional people doing extraordinary things, Blindsight* is one of those documentaries with the power to make you re-examine your entire life.*" -- New York Times* Posted Mar 5, 2008	Blindsight (2008)	97%
