Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
—	——	The End of Love ()	— Screen International Posted Jan 27, 2012
	100%	The Surrogate ()	" A genuinely touching, if slight drama, the movie remains a sympathetic portrait of the plight of a handicapped person without ever growing too serious or saccharine." — Screen International Posted Jan 25, 2012
	——	2 Days in New York ()	" When the movie goes off the rails, there's little [Rock] can do to bring the movie back to its supposed romantic core." — Screen International Posted Jan 25, 2012
	57%	Simon Killer ()	" A disturbing, complicated portrait of a young sociopath lost in Paris." — Screen International Posted Jan 21, 2012
	86%	Beasts Of The Southern Wild ()	" Zeitlin has created an imaginative and bold vision, filling his movie with plenty of memorable images." — Screen International Posted Jan 21, 2012
4/5	94%	The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)	— Time Out Posted Nov 18, 2011
3/5	67%	Ezra (2008)	— Time Out Posted Nov 17, 2011
2/5	70%	The Price of Sugar (2007)	— Time Out Posted Nov 17, 2011
3/5	72%	Darfur Now (2007)	— Time Out Posted Nov 17, 2011
	93%	50/50 (2011)	" That leaves it to Gordon-Levitt to take on the emotional weight of the film. And while he's always convincing, the surrounding story elements make for a less than resonant experience." — Screen International Posted Sep 14, 2011
—	——	God Bless America (2012)	— Screen International Posted Sep 13, 2011
	90%	Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)	" What stands out most in Martha Marcy May Marlene is the supremely assured quality of the filmmaking." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	86%	Terri (2011)	" A beautifully subtle and wholly original take on the high-school-set coming-of-age film." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	51%	Perfect Sense (2012)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	52%	The Devil's Double (2011)	" Diabolical fun." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	21%	Salvation Boulevard (2011)	" Ultimately, Salvation Boulevard doesn't have quite enough spirit." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	58%	Red State (2011)	" Red State is so off-the-map that it doesn't cohere as a whole." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	86%	Cedar Rapids (2011)	" No more and no less than its premise suggests, the film delivers the laughs." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	98%	Project Nim (2011)	" The film takes pleasure in revealing the dysfunctional nature of its human characters, who are shown to be hugely fallible, much to the detriment of Nim's well being." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	74%	Like Crazy (2011)	" Like Crazy moves in fits and starts, hitting a few grace notes along the way, but ending up unfulfilling." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	81%	Higher Ground (2011)	" Given that the subject matter could easily descend into flat-out satire, Farmiga employs an approach that is just short of miraculous, never condescending to her flock of "believers," and yet still poking some innocent fun at the proceedings." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Minor Details (2009)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Vampire ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
4/5	68%	Conviction (2010)	" In the hands of Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell and a strong supporting cast, this earnest film manages to tug a few heartstrings and say something important in the process." — Dallas Morning News Posted Oct 22, 2010
	74%	Unmade Beds (2009)	" Despite some missteps (a parachute metaphor is particularly belabored), the film has an intoxicating quality." — Village Voice Posted Sep 1, 2009
	100%	Aruitemo Aruitemo (Still Walking) (2008)	" A delicate, deceptively simple film." — Village Voice Posted Aug 25, 2009
—	42%	Blindness (2008)	— City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Posted Aug 19, 2009
	74%	Cold Souls (2009)	" Giamatti works the comedy like a pro, from deadpan to slapstick, but he also delivers pathos." — Village Voice Posted Aug 4, 2009
2/5	69%	La Habitaci�n de Fermat (Fermat's Room) (2009)	" There's something dreadfully pedantic about this locked-room mystery." — Independent Posted May 29, 2009
	48%	Antichrist (2009)	" While there's no doubt that the place he goes is off a precipitous edge, one can't deny the film's continuing primal power." — indieWIRE Posted May 18, 2009
	97%	A Prophet (Un prophete) (2010)	" Successfully balancing art-film portraiture with a gangster picture's plot, the film may be one of the more conventional movies in this year's Cannes competition, it's also been one of the more satisfying." — indieWIRE Posted May 16, 2009
	67%	Battle for Haditha (2007)	" An engaging Iraqudrama that straddles the line between blistering expos� and Spielbergian heart-tugger." — Village Voice Posted May 7, 2008
3/6	67%	Ezra (2008)	" Lacking in subtlety and heavy on moral outrage, Ezra improves as it unfolds." — Time Out New York Posted Feb 13, 2008
2/6	70%	The Price of Sugar (2007)	— Time Out New York Posted Jan 3, 2008
3/6	72%	Darfur Now (2007)	" Darfur Now [is] both necessary viewing -- and a missed opportunity." — Time Out New York Posted Nov 1, 2007
	78%	Meeting Resistance (2007)	" The film manages to capture the palpable frustration on the ground." — Village Voice Posted Oct 16, 2007
