Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 38%	My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? (2009)	" The matricide hook is intriguing, and the film will no doubt draw curious viewers salivating over the Lynch/Herzog match-up. The payoff isn't as earth-shattering as you'd think." — Metromix.com Posted Dec 10, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 28%	Serious Moonlight (2009)	" Can anything be more torturous than getting tied to a chair by your vengeful ex-wife? Just try watching this unbearable mess of a film." — Metromix.com Posted Dec 3, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 68%	The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)	" Wright turns in a rueful performance that's lined with anguish but shines with levity." — Metromix.com Posted Dec 3, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 88%	Red Cliff (2009)	" *At its best, Red Cliff* is quite entertaining and a real visual stunner. It's a reminder of just how talented Woo can be when he sticks to his strengths.*" — Metromix.com* Posted Dec 3, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 67%	Dare (2009)	" In trying to jam each character's storyline into a tight whole, it doesn't allow any of them to breathe and develop organically" — Metromix.com Posted Dec 3, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 77%	That Evening Sun (2009)	" Trudges along at a leisurely pace -- not really a good thing when you feel like you've grown as old as [the main character] while watching it." — Metromix.com Posted Dec 3, 2009
Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 22%	The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)	" Tries so hard to canonize its saints as legit action heroes that all those put-on sneers become more camp that cult" — Metromix.com Posted Oct 29, 2009
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 41%	New York, I Love You (2009)	" Some vignettes are better than others, and the parts clearly outshine the whole." — Metromix.com Posted Oct 22, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 27%	The Canyon (2009)	" Ends up feeling like a direct-to-video release that -- like our newlyweds -- seems to have gotten lost on the way to its actual destination." — Metromix.com Posted Oct 22, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 78%	Bronson (2009)	" Lots of screaming, lots of pummeling, lots of bullying and lots of posturing." — Metromix.com Posted Oct 8, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 29%	Free Style (2009)	" Treads the same course that a gazillion other underdog sports film have before." — Metromix.com Posted Oct 8, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 77%	Afterschool (2009)	" *A teen movie that rages against the trappings of today's teenage life. It's anti-emo, anti-90210, anti-Twitter ADD." — Metromix.com* Posted Oct 1, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 65%	Coco Before Chanel (2009)	" Approaches the designer's life with a calm unsentimentality, allowing Chanel's acid wit and bluntness to dictate the tone." — Metromix.com Posted Sep 24, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 18%	Love Happens (2009)	" It happens: Another predictable, syrupy Hollywood romantic drama" — Metromix.com Posted Sep 17, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	No Impact Man (2009)	" The film is a fascinating watch -- a grand social experiment in the vein of "Super Size Me," minus the puking" — Metromix.com Posted Sep 9, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 87%	Amreeka (2009)	" [Cherien] Dabis delivers a smashing feature film debut filled with warmth, humor and some nifty deep-fried falafel burgers." — Metromix.com Posted Sep 3, 2009
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 84%	The September Issue (2009)	" [Director R.J.] Cutler observes everything with comic detachment, letting both the fabulousness and the folly unfold by their own design." — Metromix.com Posted Aug 28, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	Earth Days (2009)	" The film's message might sound overstated during these eco-savvy times, when trendy phrases like 'carbon footprint' are right up there with 'skinny jeans.' But that doesn't make Earth Days any less riveting." — Metromix.com Posted Aug 13, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 86%	Lorna's Silence (2009)	" What starts as a seemingly humdrum setup (kill the druggie, get more moolah!) bucks expectations with some unconventional twists." — Metromix.com Posted Aug 6, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 75%	Cold Souls (2009)	" *The finer points make Cold Souls* a canny satire of our need to escape ourselves while aspiring to become someone else.*" — Metromix.com* Posted Aug 6, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 79%	A Woman in Berlin (2008)	" Writer-director Max F�rberb�ck has crafted a handsome film, splashed with ashen colors and drenched in a sweeping score" — Metromix.com Posted Jul 16, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 0%	Homecoming (2009)	" Pur�es every hackneyed psycho fan/girlfriend/BFF clich�, swallows them with Pepto-Bismol and regurgitates it all on screen" — Metromix.com Posted Jul 16, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Fresh 84%	Soul Power (2009)	" *Despite the star power of artists like James Brown, who wails his way through some truly electrifying numbers, Soul Power* feels strangely inert.*" — Metromix.com* Posted Jul 9, 2009
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 47%	The Girl From Monaco (2009)	" You have an appealing m�nage a trois that brings sunny energy to a movie that ultimately stumbles." — Metromix.com Posted Jul 1, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 54%	The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009)	" The sheer barbarism of the act -- graphically portrayed in the film -- implicates itself, and [director Cyrus] Nowrasteh remains wise not to proselytize." — Metromix.com Posted Jun 25, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 89%	S�raphine (2008)	" The name S�raphine may not have the same sexy ring as, say, Pollock or Basquiat, but moviegoers shouldn't be deterred from diving into the film's darkly satisfying world." — Metromix.com Posted Jun 11, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 18%	Downloading Nancy (2008)	" If you can stomach the film's queasy shockers and reach-for-the-Prozac ending, you're in for something unnerving, disturbing and remarkable." — Metromix.com Posted Jun 11, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 96%	Food, Inc. (2009)	" Any film that makes you wonder why a can of soda is cheaper than bottled water deserves your rapt attention." — Metromix.com Posted Jun 11, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 11%	The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2009)	" An intriguing, if uneven, coming-of-age story. Thankfully, Chabon's basic storyline is original and eccentric, keeping the film interesting despite its pitfalls." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 10, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 92%	Tokyo Sonata (2009)	" *Kurosawa keeps this Sonata* in harmony until the film enters its third act and promptly becomes a mishmash of atonal storylines.*" — Metromix.com* Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 65%	The Escapist (2009)	" First-time feature director Rupert Wyatt knocks it out of the park in a confident debut crackling with dank, sweaty, claustrophobic kineticism." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 16%	Spinning into Butter (2009)	" The movie hinges on whether you buy Parker as a dean. You don't." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 97%	The Song of Sparrows (2009)	" *By turns quirky, hilarious and touching, Song of Sparrows* quietly explores the tension between rural and urban. And yet, Majidi maintains a light touch by avoiding heavy-handed sermons.*" — Metromix.com* Posted Apr 2, 2009
N/A	Fresh 71%	Guest of Cindy Sherman (2009)	" Paul surveys a great artist, a failed relationship and a bruised ego. It's a charged conversation that spans a range of emotions. Affection. Frustration. Anger. Sadness." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Guest of Cindy Sherman (2009)	" Revelatory, candid and magnetic, providing a compelling glimpse at a woman at the height of her artistic powers." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
N/A	Rotten 59%	Eleven Minutes (2009)	" Eleven Minutes chronicles McCarroll's post-Runway emancipation. In the process, a clear sketch emerges: that of a candid, insecure and insanely talented young designer in search of a venue for his vision." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 59%	Eleven Minutes (2009)	" McCarroll is as cocky and cantankerous as he is compelling, which leads to a glut of histrionic moments, including spectacular scuffles with his publicists and his staff." — Chicago Tribune Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 52%	American Swing (2009)	" The film ends up using its salacious footage as a crutch for far too long...but hits its stride as it delves into darker territory." — Metromix.com Posted Apr 2, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 75%	Tokyo! (2009)	" The result isn't 'ah!' It's a resounding 'eh?'" — Metromix.com Posted Mar 9, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 59%	Phoebe In Wonderland (2009)	" Despite trippy flights of fantasy, remains firmly grounded in the all-too-real struggles of a family dealing with a child's deteriorating mental health." — Metromix.com Posted Mar 9, 2009
