The Portuguese Nun (2009) 76% EDIT “If you feel utterly nonplussed, wait and see. You may find that you have been seduced by stealth and entered the small, growing band of devotees for whom Green's cinema comes near to fulfilling an absolute.” – Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Volver (2006) 91% EDIT “Though it may seem churlish to knock a film-maker whose only crime has been a naked desire to please audiences, Volver really is one of Pedro Almodóvar's weaker efforts.” – Sight & Sound Sep 28, 2006 Full Review The Cider House Rules (1999) 72% EDIT “What's bizarre about the movie is how it grafts greeting-card schmaltz on to a muckraking liberal agenda.” – Sight & Sound Dec 2, 2002 Full Review Dancer in the Dark (2000) 69% EDIT “The situations that writer-director Lars von Trier serves up here might be embarrassingly florid, but the coupling of his manipulative skills and Björk's showy intensity results in a movie with the force of an emotional bulldozer.” – Sight & Sound Dec 2, 2002 Full Review One Hour Photo (2002) 81% EDIT “The craftsmanship is so strenuously neat that every frame should be awarded a gold star, but there isn't a breath of spontaneous life.” – Sight & Sound Sep 3, 2002 Full Review An Ideal Husband (1999) 85% EDIT “Moore gives the best display of female Machiavellianism since Bette Davis held court over The Little Foxes.” – Sight & Sound Mar 3, 2002 Full Review The Faculty (1998) 58% EDIT “The Faculty consistently draws attention to its own ill-joined cracks and seams.” – Sight & Sound Mar 3, 2002 Full Review Bread and Roses (2000) 67% EDIT “Yet in a period of stylistic ostentation, Loach's modest transparency of means is salutary.” – Sight & Sound May 30, 2001 Full Review Ride With the Devil (1999) 65% EDIT “While the movie intermittently revs up for some showy combat scenes, its real mtier is a texture of fine-grained observation that brings history to life on the molecular level.” – Sight & Sound Apr 17, 2001 Full Review
