Brandy in the Wilderness (1971) EDIT “Since the film is its own mark of achievement, it must also be noted that, despite its commendable sincerity, it is often as callow as its principals' dedicated but fumbling efforts to make it as people and movie makers.” – New York Times Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Across the Great Divide (1976) EDIT “The Pacific Northwest and its fauna are still eye-fillingly photogenic and the principals are cheerful and endearing, if amazingly indomitable.” – New York Times Jun 17, 2020 Full Review The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971) 100% EDIT “Although it is unabashedly biased and it is flawed in technical execution, it emerges as a disturbingly somber illustration of some of the ills that beset us and our social system.” – New York Times Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Wyoming Mail (1950) 86% EDIT “It may be set -- a notch, say -- above the run-of-the-range sagebrush saga.” – New York Times Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Emmanuelle (1974) 38% EDIT “As a study of a young wife's amours in high and low Bangkok society, Emmanuelle is a fluffy consignment of romantic, slick, soft‐core, sexual simulations that is largely uninspired and hardly a revelation to enthusiasts long exposed to the genre.” – New York Times Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Good Neighbor Sam (1964) 80% EDIT “Mr. Lemmon and company breathlessly toss gags from bedrooms to advertising offices with verve and vigor. It might not make much sense to a discerning viewer, but it is good for more than a fair portion of giggles and one or two guffaws.” – New York Times Mar 16, 2020 Full Review The Leather Boys (1963) 79% EDIT “[Director Sidney J. Furie] and his cast, who are not constantly effective with a relatively thin theme, have managed to elicit honesty and genuine tenderness and humor from their simple drama.” – New York Times Mar 11, 2020 Full Review The Hoodlum Priest (1961) 100% EDIT “Despite its faults, however, The Hoodlum Priest makes its plea, dedication and story strongly felt.” – New York Times Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Lola (1961) 95% 3/5 EDIT “If Lola is not a masterwork, its general polish and intent augur a bright future for the 31-year-old Mr. Demy.” – New York Times Mar 1, 2017 Full Review Valley of the Kings (1954) 0% EDIT “The modern romantic adventure displayed here is hardly as impressive as the monuments of the ancient civilization against which it is played.” – New York Times Apr 5, 2016 Full Review Too Late for Tears (1949) 100% EDIT “Despite an involved plot and an occasional overabundance of palaver, not all of which is bright, this yarn about a cash-hungry dame who doesn't let men or conscience stand in her way, is an adult and generally suspenseful adventure.” – New York Times Oct 30, 2015 Full Review Wild River (1960) 92% EDIT “Both sections of the flavorful, vernacular-filled screen play have been given professional treatment.” – New York Times Feb 19, 2015 Full Review Cluny Brown (1946) 94% EDIT “Let is be noted at the outset that Ernst Lubitsch has come up with a delectable and sprightly lampoon in Cluny Brown.” – New York Times Jun 5, 2014 Full Review Hickey & Boggs (1972) 67% EDIT “"Hickey and Boggs" is not involved in a story or with characters really worthy of a full theatrical treatment.” – New York Times May 21, 2014 Full Review Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) 89% EDIT “A serious incisive drama that pulls no punches in its low-keyed exposure of its pitiable has been hero and the sleazy, harried sidekicks who share his sweat-stained and blood-stained world.” – New York Times Dec 18, 2013 Full Review Dreams (1955) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “It is not a major concept he is dramatizing, and it lacks the hallmarks of imagination, expressive symbolism and poetic nuances of some of the truly memorable films that followed Dreams.” – New York Times Jul 23, 2013 Full Review All These Women (1964) 27% 2/5 EDIT “Ingmar Bergman, who has tackled religion, sin, sex, music and muddled mores in elliptical but artistically distinguished film style, appears to be confused by comedy and color.” – New York Times Jul 22, 2013 Full Review The Light Touch (1951) 3/5 EDIT “The Light Touch, in short, may not be art but it is entertaining.” – New York Times Apr 8, 2008 Full Review And Now My Love (1974) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Mr. Lelouch, of course, gives amour its due in And Now My Love, but this is not nearly so impressive as his perceptive, often touching portraits of three eras and their principals.” – New York Times Jan 15, 2008 Full Review Black Girl (1966) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Mr. Sembne makes his point neatly and dramatically.” – New York Times Oct 22, 2007 Full Review Black God, White Devil (1964) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Simple, black-and-white, more arresting as a shocking polemic than as memorable drama.” – New York Times Apr 11, 2007 Full Review Cry of the City (1948) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Cry of the City may be strident at times but its message, story and players are thoroughly effective.” – New York Times Feb 10, 2007 Full Review Niagara (1953) 78% EDIT “Obviously ignoring the idea that there are Seven Wonders of the World, Twentieth Century-Fox has discovered two more and enhanced them with Technicolor in "Niagara."” – New York Times Oct 31, 2006 Full Review It Came From Outer Space (1953) 81% 2.5/5 EDIT “Merely mildly diverting, not stupendous.” – New York Times Oct 31, 2006 Full Review A Girl in Every Port (1952) 2/5 EDIT “An involved mlange of obvious antics and gags, only one or two of which are likely to generate chuckles.” – New York Times Oct 31, 2006 Full Review
