Fresh 4/4	Fresh 80%	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	" What's remarkable about Lars and the Real Girl is the tightrope that [screenwriter Nancy] Oliver finesses, aided by her director and winning cast, between improbability and reality, edgy absurdist humor and melting tenderness. It's a tonic." — Newsday Posted Oct 11, 2007

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 93%	This Is England (2007)	" Meadows' electric drama takes the audience with it from the percolating opening moments through its hopeful (if ever-so-contrived) denouement, filling the landscape with memorably engaging characters and potent ensemble performances." — Newsday Posted Jul 26, 2007

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 97%	49 Up (2006)	" To the extent that it opens a window into the puzzling business of growing older and affirms - with touching reflectiveness and exuberant humor -- the suspicion that we are all in the same boat, 49 Up is priceless." — Newsday Posted Oct 5, 2006

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 86%	L'Enfant (2006)	" The intimacy the directors achieve with their actors is nothing short of uncanny: Renier and Fran�ois go about their business with such naturalness and determination, you forget there are performances going on." — Newsday Posted Mar 24, 2006

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 61%	The New World (2005)	" The New World blows centuries of dust and schoolkid romanticism from the oft-mythologized tale of Pocahontas and the English settlers, relaying old news with an abundantly poetic and visually startling point of view." — Newsday Posted Dec 22, 2005

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 69%	The World (2005)	" Tao, who shuttles between multiple ethnic costumes in the course of a typical workday, embodies the film's thematic core: the loss of identity in a culture that has bulldozed its own historic past to clear the way for Western-style progress." — Newsday Posted Jun 30, 2005

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 87%	Crimson Gold (2004)	" Hot enough to have been banned in its home country, and resonant enough to command our watchful participation." — Newsday Posted Jan 15, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 70%	Dogville (2003)	" An audaciously original feat of allegorical story.telling, one of those visionary achievements that stirs moviegoers into a fury and goes on to define a decade." — Newsday Posted Mar 25, 2004

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 92%	Talk to Her (2002)	" The Spanish master redefines love in all its weird and surprising permutations with this characteristically eccentric tale involving a lady bullfighter, a male nurse, a ballet dancer and a journalist with hyperactive tear ducts." — Newsday Posted Nov 22, 2002

Fresh 4/4	Fresh 96%	Mafioso (1962)	" *We can only wonder how Mafioso* struck American audiences in its brief 1962 appearance. In 2007, it reveals the universal hallmarks of a classic.*" — Newsday* Posted Jan 18, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 100%	Classe Tous Risques (1960)	" Belmondo is the clincher: He's got so much jaunty charisma, the screen can barely contain him." — Newsday Posted Nov 17, 2005
