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

85% | 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

88% | 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

84% | 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

78% | 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

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

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

97% | 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

Although less developed and satisfying than Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark is ultimately more devastating. - PopMatters
