Maya Angelou and Still I Rise (2016) 96% A- EDIT “Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise takes a conventional cradle-to-grave approach to its subject, but it succeeds as a vivid and moving portrait of an African-American icon.” – Newsday Feb 21, 2017 Full Review Philip Roth, Without Complexes (2011) 60% B- EDIT “It's great to see extensive interview footage with the relaxed and funny author, but Philip Roth: Unmasked shies away from controversy and, as a result, feels a bit sanitized.” – Newsday Apr 1, 2013 Full Review Vitus (2006) 68% 3/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 18, 2011 Full Review The Rape of Europa (2006) 82% 4/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Vanaja (2006) 86% 3/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Drama/Mex (2006) 35% 1/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Love for Sale (2006) 75% 4/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Fierce People (2005) 24% 1/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Miriam (2006) 14% 1/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 17, 2011 Full Review The Good Night (2007) 30% 3/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 16, 2011 Full Review DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2006) 70% 2/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Doc (2007) 80% 4/6 EDIT “Absorbing” – Time Out Jan 25, 2008 Full Review Marigold (2007) 31% 2/6 EDIT “” – Time Out Jan 18, 2008 Full Review The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) 66% 3/6 EDIT “The real disappointment is the paint-by-numbers flatness of the contemporary stories and characters; it's hard to care much about Sylvia and Prudie with Elizabeth Bennett and Emma Woodhouse hovering in the wings.” – Time Out Oct 6, 2007 Full Review Blame It on Fidel (2006) 93% 4/6 EDIT “One of those rare films that maintain unwavering fidelity to a child's view of the world.” – Time Out Aug 2, 2007 Full Review Evening (2007) 28% 4/6 EDIT “The film never descends into the dreaded bath of sentimental kitsch.” – Time Out Jun 28, 2007 Full Review The Ex (2006) 18% 3/6 EDIT “Though Bateman rolls through the film with sly comic skill, the whole exercise seems half-baked -- a high concept and some funny gags that do not a great comedy make.” – Time Out May 19, 2007 Full Review Looking for an Icon (2007) 60% 3/6 EDIT “Structured like a freewheeling crash course in media studies, Looking for an Icon offers close readings of four famous photographs, each a past winner of the World Press Photo of the Year.” – Time Out May 10, 2007 Full Review Disappearances (2006) 52% 3/6 EDIT “Alas, the story descends into mystical mumbo jumbo.” – Time Out May 10, 2007 Full Review The Treatment (2006) 68% 4/6 EDIT “The film works familiar territory -- the romantic lives of neurotic well-educated New Yorkers -- yet never feels stale.” – Time Out May 5, 2007 Full Review In the Land of Women (2007) 43% 3/6 EDIT “The screenplay by Kasdan is soggy with earnest clichés.” – Time Out Apr 21, 2007 Full Review Everything's Gone Green (2006) 68% 4/6 EDIT “Appealing performances by Costanzo and Song, with comic support from Ryan's entrepreneurial parents and Ming's knife-wielding granny, guide us over the rough patches.” – Time Out Apr 14, 2007 Full Review Whole New Thing (2005) 64% 3/6 EDIT “... well-intentioned but underwhelming ...” – Time Out Apr 7, 2007 Full Review The Hawk Is Dying (2006) 30% 2/6 EDIT “For performing half this film with a predatory bird perched and flapping angrily on his arm, Paul Giamatti deserves some sort of award.” – Time Out Mar 31, 2007 Full Review Boy Culture (2006) 69% 1/6 EDIT “The overall effect is merely narcotic.” – Time Out Mar 24, 2007 Full Review
