| 2/4 | 57% | It's Complicated (2009) |
It's clear I'm out of the demo for this one, which fetishizes interior design and home furnishings almost as much as the sex. But a substantive plot larded with more laughs would have made my thoughts much less conflicted.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 1.5/4 | 29% | Irene in Time (2009) |
Henry Jaglom has been making indie movies for decades. He's a devotee of unadorned camerawork and semi-improvised dialogue -- but some actors are better at improv than others.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 3/4 | 100% | Strongman (2011) |
Ten years in the making, Zachary Levy's film is a stark and arresting study of a simple man trying to do good with what he's got.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 3/4 | 61% | Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked) (2009) |
Pirate Radio is a ribald, rocking romp. Dramamine not necessary.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 3/4 | 80% | It Might Get Loud (2009) |
Although talking shop and trading solos form the centerpiece of the film, Guggenheim does a fine job of weaving a narrative out of the three men's life stories.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 90% | Tokyo Godfathers (2003) |
It's an affecting, all too human drama that plays out against Ike Nobutaka's gorgeous art direction, where snow falls softly on the neon city, blanketing even decrepit dark corners in a sad beauty.‐ Boston Phoenix

| 82% | Barbershop (2002) |
Director Tim Story's subtle nods to Spike Lee's Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop notwithstanding, this one has about as much novelty as a $15 fade. But if it's something of a shaggy dog, it doesn't need a trim...‐ Boston Phoenix

| 11% | The Ladies Man (2000) |
The Ladies Man is pointless and should never have been made. But check your brain at the door and it almost stacks up to a snifter of Courvoisier and a handful of butt.‐ Boston Phoenix

This one used up all three of 'em in the first few minutes.‐ Boston Phoenix
