Multiplicity (1996)

"Multiplicity exists because it's now possible for an actor to appear on screen with himself and not by means of anything so quaint as double exposure."

After Sex (1997)

"Rouan's writing, as far as can be judged from subtitles, is pointed and vital. Her performance is superb."

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1999)

"The cast is revved up to sizzle, with Sting in a smallish role, and the thick cockney dialogue is more comprehensible than you might think."

Holy Smoke! (2000)

"The screenplay sometimes slashes with sharp dialogue, and Campion's directing unmistakably breathes conviction. What she lacks is sufficient humor to see when she approaches the risible and sufficient perception to keep her seriousness fresh."

Le Notti di Cabiria (Nights of Cabiria) (1957)

"It's fascinating. Part of the fascination is in seeing how much of it is intrinsic, untarnished gold; and, as with most earlier works of masters, part of it now is in seeing the hints of the Fellini to come."

American Beauty (1999)

"It never justifies the blatancy of its opening, and it never does anything to freshen what is only one more journey through familiar fortyish unfulfillment."

Sling Blade (1996)

Anna Karenina (1997)

"[Rose's] screenplay is a ragbag, nothing like a tragedy in which the nemesis is Time. And his casting!"

Outbreak (1995)

The White Balloon (Badkonake sefid) (1995)

"Panahi has much the same kind of talent, a concern to make his film a kind of home for its characters, but he has not yet found [Kiarostami's] secret, how to find and hold the still point of the turning world."
