"It is oddly pleasant to know that such a man once existed." -- New Republic
Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
Trumbo (2008)72%
/
 
"Asia Argento, as Vellini, is a firebrand, a woman who is attractive even in non-seductive moments when she is angry or downcast or 'off-stage.'" -- New Republic
Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
The Last Mistress (2008)76%
/
 
"What ensures our pleasure is the dialogue, which is supple, and the quality of the acting." -- New Republic
Posted Jun 29, 2008
 
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)73%
/
 
"The care that Akin expends on his people is skimped in the structure of his screenplay." -- New Republic
Posted Jun 29, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
 
"Mongol has just enough characterization to sustain its own reason for being -- cinematic fullness." -- New Republic
Posted Jun 29, 2008
 
Mongol (2008)88%
/
 
"My Winnipeg is a mobile collage, and its assemblage is fascinating." -- New Republic
Posted Jun 29, 2008
 
My Winnipeg (2008)97%
/
 
"The subtitle of the film is 'A Love Story.' The picture makes the worn term fresh, moving." -- New Republic
Posted Jun 29, 2008
 
Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008)96%
/
 
"Films about the Iraq war continue to come and, I hope, will keep coming. Among the most recent, The Battle for Haditha is especially notable." -- New Republic
Posted May 27, 2008
 
Battle for Haditha (2008)63%
/
 
"Plot flaws and all, we can be glad that the picture was made -- because of its acting." -- New Republic
Posted May 27, 2008
 
Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)83%
/
 
"Unfortunately for all its assets, especially Moore, Savage Grace leaves us somewhat empty-handed." -- New Republic
Posted May 27, 2008
 
Savage Grace (2008)42%
/
 
"Lust, Caution asks some patience of us, but our patience pays off." -- New Republic
Posted Nov 7, 2007
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%
/
 
"This film wants only to entertain, and other talents have gathered with Pinter to help." -- New Republic
Posted Nov 7, 2007
 
Sleuth (2007)35%
/
 
"Gyllenhaal always manages to present a person of some sensitivity without leaning on actorish resources." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 18, 2007
 
Zodiac (2007)89%
/
 
"Particularly good at the tiny details that become recognition points in daily patterns." -- New Republic
Posted Dec 29, 2006
 
Family Law (2006)75%
/
 
"Like Ceylan -- like many a fine director -- Coixet has made her film less as a drama than as the traversal of a state of mind, a mood." -- New Republic

Lotna (1959)n/a
/
 
"Like all good art, it evokes a supranational affinity. And there is an unsurprising paradox: this drama of personal uncertainties is lodged in a certainty of form." -- New Republic
Posted Nov 3, 2006
 
Climates (2006)71%
/
 
"Why did they go ahead anyway? Did they believe that an immense Capote audience was hungering for two films about him?" -- New Republic
Posted Nov 3, 2006
 
Infamous (2006)70%
/
 
"[Xavier Beauvois] is a clean and sure director, with a good selective eye: he knows where we ought to be looking at any moment. We can hope for more Beauvois films with worlds of their own." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
Le Petit Lieutenant (2006)79%
/
 
What remains most vividly after Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles, however, is not its story but its world--the immersion in that world of a foreigner, not a polo-shirted Yank but a stiff-necked Japanese. And it is all overseen by a Chinese director. -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006)79%
/
 
"(Director Oliver) Stone has concentrated on one of the catastrophe's stories and has fashioned it well -- with almost palpable physical detail, and with performances that never sink to exploitation." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
World Trade Center (2006)70%
/
 
"What (director Neil) Burger and his colleagues have done is to entrance us with a richly acted, beautifully produced story." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
The Illusionist (2006)75%
/
 
About [Kelly Reichardt's] directing, after praising her simplicity, one has to praise her daring. To make this film took considerable conviction -- and, for an artist, conviction usually entails courage. -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
Old Joy (2006)85%
/
 
"This film by Nick Doob and Chris Hegedus forces us to make some decisions about him. For myself, I find him generally gross, in person and in manner." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006)59%
/
 
"The essence of the film is that [Kushner], with not a touch of evangelistic pomp, cannot conceive of life as anything other than a campaign to improve life." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner (2006)72%
/
 
"The segments are so cleverly arranged -- [director Michael Apted] includes past pictorial references for each of the people we revisit -- that now there is something almost mystical involved." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
49 Up (2006)97%
/
 
"The film isn't dreadful: it is just generally disappointing." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
All The King's Men (2006)12%
/
 
"Is Scorsese desperate? This screenplay has the scent of it, as if he is scraping for material to feed his basic filmic interests." -- New Republic
Posted Oct 26, 2006
 
The Departed (2006)92%
/
 
"Apted is a busy director in between these documentaries, the maker of Coal Miner's Daughter and Gorky Park and one of the James Bond pictures. But these Up films are his unique contribution. On to 56 Up." -- New Republic

Unborn (2003)n/a

"[Director Patrice Chereau] has drawn exceptional performances from his two principals." -- New Republic
Posted Jul 14, 2006
 
Gabrielle (2005)75%
/
 
"The only matter that interests is the question of Fiennes's presence in this political lesson for children." -- New Republic
Posted Jul 10, 2006
 
Land of the Blind (2006)12%
/
 
"What is strangely transfixing about the film is our agreement, from the beginning, that the struggle is hopeless." -- New Republic
Posted Jul 10, 2006
 
Excellent Cadavers (2006)77%
/
 
"This limitation in source material has had a peculiar effect on the script. Never is there a moment of repulsive sentimentality or exploitation, but neither is Greengrass able to realize an ultimate purpose." -- New Republic
Posted May 12, 2006
 
United 93 (2006)91%
/
 
"The chief pleasure in the picture is Nick Nolte's performance." -- New Republic
Posted May 12, 2006
 
Clean (2006)71%
/
 
"Whatever the outcome of all this hugger-mugger, as yet unresolved, Stolen gives us hints about a special sort of muscle." -- New Republic
Posted May 8, 2006
 
Stolen (2006)67%
/
 
"A moderately engaging satire, some of it amusing and some of it strained, but in considerable measure it reflects a strange circumstance in all our lives." -- New Republic
Posted May 5, 2006
 
American Dreamz (2006)41%
/
 
"Despite the far-off locale, we soon feel surprisingly comfortable, merely because of the film's shape." -- New Republic
Posted May 2, 2006
 
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006)98%
/
 
"Harron's work here is unclear in its theme or purpose." -- New Republic
Posted May 2, 2006
 
The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)55%
/
 
"Iran's recent growlings under its new president make such a film as Iron Island all the more remarkable." -- New Republic
Posted Apr 21, 2006
 
Iron Island (2006)97%
/
 
"It engages us from beginning to end without strong narrative, or narratives. It lives through the quality of Holofcener's dialogue and the performances that she has drawn from her actors." -- New Republic
Posted Apr 21, 2006
 
Friends With Money (2006)71%
/
 
"We hear all kinds of comments -- about personal satisfactions, dissatisfactions, rewards." -- New Republic
Posted Mar 20, 2006
 
Music From the Inside Out (2004)81%
/
 
"Ang Lee continues to astonish." -- New Republic
Posted Jan 9, 2006
 
Brokeback Mountain (2005)87%
/
 
"Syriana impresses, not because it is very moving, which it isn't, or because it is crystal clear, which it also isn't, but because it is so large, so encompassing, so seemingly privy to inside stuff." -- New Republic
Posted Jan 3, 2006
 
Syriana (2005)75%
/
 
"Robert Benton and Harold Ramis, put on dunce caps and go stand in the corner." -- New Republic
Posted Jan 3, 2006
 
The Ice Harvest (2005)46%
/
 
"It seems quite possible that Me and You marks the arrival of an artist who may affect -- disturbingly yet helpfully -- films and audiences to come." -- New Republic
Posted Aug 10, 2005
 
Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)83%
/
 
"Rosenstrasse is again only a sad reminder of the earlier von Trotta." -- New Republic
Posted Aug 28, 2004
 
Rosenstrasse (2004)56%
/
 
"Deville is an experienced director, and he composes this picture very neatly." -- New Republic
Posted Aug 28, 2004
 
Almost Peaceful (2004)73%
/
 
"Lee presumably had two ideas, one an exposé of pharmaceutical greed, the other a sex comedy: then he decided that neither one would make a film in itself and came up with the lame idea of combining them." -- New Republic
Posted Aug 28, 2004
 
She Hate Me (2004)20%

"Demme serves the picture completely." -- New Republic
