    Trouble the Water (2008)

    " Trouble the Water's greatest of its many values is its incisive record of how a massive catastrophe is really a story of multiple individuals, families, blocks and neighborhoods." — Los Angeles Daily News

    Offside (2006)

    " Greatness is a word often associated with Iranian cinema. But fun? Practically never. Jafar Panahi's exuberant and subversive Offside, however, scores on both points." — Los Angeles Daily News

    Million Dollar Baby (2004)

    " While I wouldn't place Million Dollar Baby on quite as exalted a pedestal as last year's Mystic River and 1992's Unforgiven ... this unlikely female boxer movie may well be the best-directed of Eastwood's filmmaking career." — Los Angeles Daily News

    Elephant (2003)

    Insomnia (2002)
