Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
3.5/4 77% Free Men (2012) " A cannily shot thriller." — Seattle Times
Posted Apr 12, 2012
3.5/4 69% Life During Wartime (2010) " Solondz, through the troubled voice of 13-year-old Timmy, does rigorous justice to the difficulties of forgiving and/or forgetting." — Seattle Times
Posted Aug 13, 2010
3.5/4 100% Aruitemo Aruitemo (Still Walking) (2008) " This masterful family drama by Japanese writer- director Hirokazu Kore-eda commences on a deceptively tranquil note, lightly spiced with a needling humor." — Seattle Times
Posted Oct 8, 2009
3.5/4 90% Séraphine (2009) " The film belongs to Moreau. Half-derided, half-protected by her village neighbors, her Séraphine is dowdy, willful, gruff, determined: a blend of singing mystic and muttering madwoman." — Seattle Times
Posted Aug 14, 2009
3.5/4 77% Venkovský Ucitel (The Country Teacher) (2008) " The film boasts subtle performances and curious situations with unpredictable outcomes." — Seattle Times
Posted Jul 23, 2009
3.5/4 89% Moon (2009) " With its artful use of old-school miniatures rather than computer graphics, Moon engages the eye as much as the mind. Here's a canny director who doesn't let technical prowess overwhelm his sure, resourceful sense of human drama and character." — Seattle Times
Posted Jul 3, 2009
3.5/4 96% Food, Inc. (2009) " The result is an alarming film that tackles food and freedom-of-speech issues on many fronts." — Seattle Times
Posted Jun 19, 2009
3.5/4 94% My Winnipeg (2007) " The world would be a better place if every city had its Maddin." — Seattle Times
Posted Jun 27, 2008
3/4 —— Lou Harrison: A World of Music (2012) " A lively and succinct documentary by Eva Soltes." — Seattle Times
Posted Apr 19, 2012
3/4 95% Gerhard Richter Painting (2012) " Belz delivers exactly what her title promises: the sight of Richter at work on his canvases." — Seattle Times
Posted Mar 22, 2012
3/4 88% The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle (2010) " A wildly imaginative if erratically executed urban fable. " — Seattle Times
Posted Aug 13, 2010
3/4 70% Ondine (2010) " Jordan, who also wrote the screenplay, makes some gentle jabs at small-town nosiness and claustrophobia, even as he spins out the shadowy riddles of the story." — Seattle Times
Posted Jun 18, 2010
3/4 100% Afghan Star (2009) " An informative documentary revealing how decades of war and years of Taliban repression have fallen to the wayside, however briefly, as Kabul's answer to American Idol seduces a violence-weary Afghanistan." — Seattle Times
Posted Aug 21, 2009
2.5/4 100% Last Train Home (2010) " Lixin Fan, handling his own cinematography, shoots with such a painterly eye that he almost undermines the social critique he's making." — Seattle Times
