Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
C	——	And Now A Word From Our Sponsor (2013)	" [Greenwood] can't rescue the movie all by himself, but he does at least transform it into a first-rate acting class." — AV Club Posted May 9, 2013
B-	71%	Venus And Serena (2013)	" What comes across most strongly is the genuine, overpowering love these two women have for each other, even when they're in direct competition." — AV Club Posted May 9, 2013
B-	51%	Post Tenebras Lux (2013)	" The film is never less than fascinating, but it appears to be so intensely personal as to be all but indecipherable to viewers not personally acquainted with the filmmaker, or at least in possession of the press kit." — AV Club Posted May 2, 2013
B+	73%	Dead Man's Burden (2013)	" The story is modest to the point of occasionally seeming slight, and the ending is a tad too cute in the way it circles back to the beginning, but even those flaws just make it feel more authentic. See it now, before it gets rediscovered." — AV Club Posted May 2, 2013
B	98%	Mud (2013)	" Nichols has concocted something ... along the lines of a ripping yarn, with fairly conventional story beats built upon a sturdy, familiar coming-of-age template." — AV Club Posted Apr 25, 2013
B	56%	Eddie The Sleepwalking Cannibal (2013)	" Beneath the surface outrageousness lies a surprisingly, satisfyingly dark little fable about the essentially cannibalistic nature of artistic inspiration." — AV Club Posted Apr 4, 2013
D	8%	Tomorrow You're Gone (2013)	" For some reason, Stephen Dorff has been cast yet again as... anybody." — AV Club Posted Apr 4, 2013
B	51%	Welcome to the Punch (2013)	" It becomes something of a disquisition on mortality in spite of itself." — AV Club Posted Mar 28, 2013
C+	81%	Renoir (2013)	" In short, it's the story of how two great artists were influenced by the naked lady lounging around their house." — AV Club Posted Mar 28, 2013
B-	90%	My Brother The Devil (2013)	" It's refreshing to see a new generation reinterpret the classics. James Cagney would be proud." — AV Club Posted Mar 21, 2013
C	27%	Everybody Has a Plan (2013)	" [Mortensen] plays the most lackluster pair of identical twins the movies have ever conceived." — AV Club Posted Mar 21, 2013
C+	31%	Emperor (2013)	" Offers a labored treatise on the Japanese national character, with endless speeches about honor, devotion, loyalty, and the people's reverence for their emperor as a human deity." — AV Club Posted Mar 14, 2013
B-	87%	The Silence (2013)	" What had seemed like a lackluster ensemble piece turns out to be an exercise in empathy ..." — AV Club Posted Mar 7, 2013
D+	70%	Somebody Up There Likes Me (2013)	" A film distinguished entirely by its stubborn refusal to engage viewers in any way whatsoever." — AV Club Posted Mar 7, 2013
B-	92%	Future Weather (2013)	" There's almost nothing to criticize. Yet the overall effect is one big shoulder shrug, because there's nothing in Future Weather that can't be found in dozens of other indie movies just like it." — AV Club Posted Feb 28, 2013
C+	0%	The Condemned (2013)	" A Puerto Rican drama that straddles the line between (tame) horror movie and (marginal) ghost story." — AV Club Posted Feb 28, 2013
B+	92%	No (2013)	" The most unexpectedly riotous comedy in years -- one with more bite than usual." — AV Club Posted Feb 14, 2013
B-	86%	Supporting Characters (2013)	" Supporting Characters tends to meander pleasantly from scene to scene, relying on the testy rapport between its two lead actors." — AV Club Posted Jan 24, 2013
C+	76%	Hors Satan (2013)	" As its title suggests, Satan grapples with the existence and nature of evil in the world, but it's hard to take such weighty matters seriously when they're explored with all the subtlety and grace of an anti-abortion pamphlet." — AV Club Posted Jan 17, 2013
	88%	The Turin Horse (2012)	" No movie could possibly live up to the monumental, forbidding grandeur of The Turin Horse's lengthy opening shot, but [Bela Tarr]... goes ahead and attempts the impossible, and comes frighteningly close to succeeding." — L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 8, 2013
	96%	The Kid with a Bike (2012)	" It's nonetheless immensely satisfying - not least in its commitment to a child protagonist whose near-feral intensity and unthinking ingratitude make him the polar opposite of cute." — L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 8, 2013
B+	80%	Only The Young (2012)	" It's not so much a documentary as a gentle, probing character study, cherishable in direct proportion to how lightly it wears its ambition." — AV Club Posted Dec 6, 2012
D+	12%	Alex Cross (2012)	" It's downright painful to watch Perry struggle to take over James Patterson's forensic-psychologist hero Alex Cross ..." — AV Club Posted Oct 18, 2012
A	90%	Holy Motors (2012)	" [A] visionary, jaw-dropping spectacle." — AV Club Posted Oct 17, 2012
B-	64%	Cosmopolis (2012)	" The more abstract and overtly stylized Cosmopolis is, the more it thrills." — AV Club Posted Aug 13, 2012
	88%	The Angels' Share (2013)	" It's the Glaswegian specificity that makes this contrived heist comedy mildly enjoyable." — AV Club Posted May 23, 2012
	79%	You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet! (Vous n'avez encore rien vu) ()	" Not since Altman went out with A Prairie Home Companion has a director fashioned such a natural swan song." — AV Club Posted May 23, 2012
	82%	Like Someone in Love (2013)	" I know there's something happening here, but I don't know what it is." — AV Club Posted May 21, 2012
C+	81%	In Another Country (2013)	" It almost seems as if Hong is poking fun at his own single-minded oeuvre, creating a fractal representation of how his other films obliquely interrelate." — AV Club Posted May 21, 2012
B+	93%	Amour (2012)	" Haneke trains his merciless rigor-leavened, for perhaps the first time ever, with deeply felt tenderness and compassion-on the most universally heartbreaking aspect of the human condition: old age and its myriad indignities." — AV Club Posted May 21, 2012
C+	74%	Laurence Anyways (2013)	" It's just too damn much, frankly." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
C+	90%	The Hunt (2013)	" The Hunt is a "problem picture" in which the problem feels neither urgent nor especially new." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
	67%	Lawless (2012)	" A thoroughly familiar-but flavorful and rousing-shoot-'em-up set among Prohibition bootleggers." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
C	67%	Mekong Hotel ()	" It's not painful to endure or anything (in part because it's so short), but to borrow the title of one of last year's celebrated Cannes premieres: This is not a film." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
B-	90%	Beyond The Hills (2013)	" Mungiu has few peers when it comes to formally rigorous nail-biters, but I'd like to see him tackle material he's more conflicted about." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
B	79%	Reality (2013)	" If Luis Buñuel were alive today, this is roughly what I'd expect him to be up to." — AV Club Posted May 20, 2012
C+	65%	The We and the I (2013)	" It feels inordinately unfocused, and a last-minute swerve into earnest speechifying doesn't help." — AV Club Posted May 18, 2012
C+	62%	Paradise: Love (2013)	" Ultimately, Paradise: Love seems interested only in making you wince, not in making you think." — AV Club Posted May 18, 2012
B	82%	Rust and Bone (2012)	" Just novel enough to seem somewhat fresh." — AV Club Posted May 18, 2012
C	23%	After The Battle (Baad El Mawkeaa) ()	" Despite its topical urgency, After the Battle plays like a daytime soap, with characters taking turns shouting on-the-nose dialogue at each other..." — AV Club Posted May 18, 2012
B+	94%	Moonrise Kingdom (2012)	" If you hate Wes Anderson, this movie won't change your mind, but believers should be enchanted." — AV Club Posted May 18, 2012
—	56%	Trash Humpers (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
—	51%	Chloe (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011

—	84%	The Art Of The Steal (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
—	100%	The Ape (Apan) ()	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
—	70%	Ondine (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
—	50%	My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
—	72%	Soul Kitchen (2010)	— Not Coming to a Theater Near You Posted Oct 14, 2011
