Posted Feb 7, 2012
2/5 84% The Turin Horse (2012) " Alas, there's some risibly bad stuff here, too -- mainly contentwise -- that even Tarr's passionate fans will balk at." — Time Out New York
Posted Feb 7, 2012
3/5 76% The Innkeepers (2012) " West holds your interest with material that should feel like a rip-off of The Shining." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 31, 2012
2/5 51% Perfect Sense (2012) " Filmed with the somber pretentiousness of a Babel, the movie never quite converts its premise into something grander (never mind believable)." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 31, 2012
2/5 22% The Wicker Tree (2012) " A hee-haw slam on ugly Americanism, a vast reduction of the original's notion of unraveling civilization." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 24, 2012
4/5 89% Miss Bala (2012) " There's a wild, Miami Blues-like dreaminess to the movie that's addictive." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 17, 2012
2/5 82% Crazy Horse (2012) " You doubt Wiseman's sense of pacing. Still, he must have had a good time shooting." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 17, 2012
3/5 57% Richard Garriott: Man on a Mission (2012) " Experiencing this doc can feel like being pinned to your seat by an excited 12-year-old who's watched Apollo 13 too often." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 10, 2012
2/5 15% The Divide (2012) " One lesson for future generations rising from the ashes: Avoid the shelter containing whiner Rosanna Arquette." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 10, 2012
3/5 94% Sing Your Song (2012) " The footage gathered here is fun and exhilarating, making the case where a critical overview is lacking." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 10, 2012
4/5 68% Roadie (2012) " A fresh alternative to typical indie-cinema wallowing." — Time Out New York
Posted Jan 4, 2012
3/5 45% Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2012) " An earnest puddle of slop." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
4/5 95% Pina (2011) " Pina belongs in the rare category of adventurous material matched with a thrillingly immersive form -- suck it, Avatar." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
4/5 54% In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011) " An admirably complex take on the horror of the rape camps, where Serb militia men performed ritual humiliations upon Bosnian women." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
5/5 99% A Separation (2011) " Getting absorbed in the film's complex layers of procedural negotiation and domestic argument, you'll realize that we often settle for too little from our screenplays." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
3/5 63% We Bought a Zoo (2011) " A comedy with youthful wonderment on its side, the latest film from perpetual teen Cameron Crowe heals a broken family in the quasispiritual gaze of the natural world." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
4/5 76% War Horse (2011) " The year's most potent work -- largely word-free but aching with feeling -- comes from Hollywood's longtime resident genius, Steven Spielberg." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 20, 2011
3/5 72% Carnage (2011) " The whole enterprise feels slight, not exactly undercooked so much as lavished with unearned commitment." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 13, 2011
5/5 80% We Need to Talk About Kevin (2012) " Were it not for Swinton's magnetism, it would be unbearable. Instead, you'll want to stay for the wallop." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 6, 2011
5/5 100% The Wages of Fear (1953) " Hitch's bomb-under-the-table suspense formula burnished to an expert sheen." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 6, 2011
1/5 13% I Melt with You (2011) " After the halfway mark, it's too much, with director Mark Pellington displaying little intent to criticize." — Time Out New York
Posted Dec 6, 2011
5/5 93% Coriolanus (2011) " A spiky and complex counterweight to Hollywood sentiment and indie cynicism alike." — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 29, 2011
3/5 79% Khodorkovsky (2011) " Tuschi leans too far into an admiring position, and you thirst for some commonsense critique. It's all a bit rich." — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 29, 2011
4/5 97% The Artist (2011) " Exuberantly entertaining and an emotional grower on reflection, Michel Hazanavicius's backstage drama takes the old A Star Is Born plot and makes it sing (very quietly)." — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 22, 2011
4/5 77% A Dangerous Method (2011) " If the movie falls just shy of our highest mark, this is because Cronenberg is tamping down on his usually naturalistic performances -- everything feels vaguely mad-scientist-ish." — Time Out New York
Posted Nov 22, 2011
3/5 25% Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) " Color us stoked that a Twilight movie even strays into evil-fetus territory." — Time Out New York
