|---|---|---|---|
| 87% | Far From Heaven (2003) |
Beneath this conservative façade lies a complicated and progressive commentary on the present that Haynes leaves to the viewer to interpret.‐ PopMatters

| 84% | Ni na bian ji dian (What Time Is It Over There?) (2001) |
Although What Time offers Tsai's usual style and themes, it has a more colorful, more playful tone than his other films.‐ PopMatters

| 80% | The Royal Tenenbaums (2002) |
With its emphasis on characters over events -- though a lot does happens -- The Royal Tenenbaums occasionally makes the audience, much like Eli, want to be part of the family, in spite of their neuroses and flaws.‐ PopMatters

| 33% | Dog Run (1996) |
The refusal to make the squatting and drug-using lifestyle exciting or exaggeratedly excruciating is commendable.‐ PopMatters

| 73% | Fat Girl (2001) |
The sex in Fat Girl is ... an all-consuming, character-defining process of sorting through emotions and attitudes that convincingly perplexes these girls.‐ PopMatters

| 87% | La Cienaga (2001) |
Within the first moments of her debut feature, La Ciénaga, writer/director Lucrecia Martel demonstrates a piercing sensibility and a sharp eye.‐ PopMatters

| 83% | L.I.E. (2001) |
Granted, these desires can be conflicted and perplexing, but the representation here reads as a failure of nerve, a refusal to take on an uncomfortable topic.‐ PopMatters

| 89% | In the Mood for Love (2001) |
Shines with radiant color schemes and two devastating central performances.‐ PopMatters

| 73% | Before Night Falls (2001) |
A sumptuous, dreamy film that only touches reality in its ravaging final moments.‐ PopMatters

| 77% | O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) |
The ideas seem half-baked at best, and the gags are the flattest in any of the Coens' films.‐ PopMatters

Packs a brutal scare!‐ Citysearch

| 77% | Gladiator (2000) |
Had the filmmakers been daring enough to make the movie without its clunky dialogue or without digital filler, Gladiator could have been epic in more ways than its running time.‐ PopMatters

| 57% | Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) |
The action and the intended-to-be-graceful moments are more silly than stunning, prompting more laughter than applause.‐ PopMatters

| 70% | Frequency (2000) |
I realized there was a surprising potential for a provocative film if only its makers had not taken a wrong step at every turn.‐ PopMatters

Small Time Crooks, finally, brings Allen back to form.‐ PopMatters

| 84% | Chuck & Buck (2000) |
As the film stands, it sheds some light on what happens between young boys, but very little about what happens between men after they have grown up ... whatever that means.‐ PopMatters

|
| 96% | Yi Yi (2000) |
With Yi Yi, Edward Yang accomplishes what so few films (U.S.-made, in particular) even strive to do: present an earnest depiction of familial relations.‐ PopMatters

|
| 68% | Dancer in the Dark (2000) |
Although less developed and satisfying than Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark is ultimately more devastating.‐ PopMatters

| 88% | Tarzan (1999) |
Disney has crafted one of its most satisfying family films yet!‐ Citysearch
