The Lost Prince is a gorgeously filmed, bittersweet study of family dysfunction and the resiliency of the spirit in the face of loneliness and rejection.‐ Boston Phoenix

| No Score Yet | The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004) |
Wyle's geeky charm and the story's glorification of book learnin' are enough to keep the good vibes aloft.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 72% | The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) |
The film makes you care so little for its subject that you might be compelled to turn it off were it not for Rush's valiant mimicry.‐ Boston Phoenix

| No Score Yet | Something the Lord Made (2004) |
Moving without being maudlin; it doesn't over-inflate the inherent drama of the two men's relationship or the era in which they lived.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 83% | To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sister (2017) |
Except for a jarring (and a bit cheesy) coda, To Walk Invisible immerses us in the Brontës' world, from the wide moors and lowering gray skies to the interiors shot in a claustrophobic replica of their house. ‐ Village Voice

| 91% | Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
It's Lupin, with his shabby dignity and tender concern for Harry, who's the emotional counterweight to the teenager's sadness and anger, and Thewlis brings great warmth to his father-figure role.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 88% | The King of Comedy (1983) |
It's Martin Scorsese's second least popular movie, after The Last Temptation of Christ. Which is a shame, because it's Scorsese's second greatest film, after Taxi Driver.‐ Salon.com

| 65% | The X-Files - Fight the Future (1998) |
It's a two-hour episode of the show, except with better production values and a nicer wardrobe for Scully.‐ Salon.com
