	"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 Posted Dec 15, 2006	The Secret Life of Words (2006)	69%

	"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 Posted Oct 6, 2006	49 Up (2006)	97%

	"[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 expos� 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 Posted Aug 28, 2004	The Manchurian Candidate (2004)	82%
