Shortbus (2006) 69% EDIT “Shortbus could stand to lose 30 minutes off its flabbily melancholic denouement.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review The Queen (2006) 97% EDIT “The Queen's myopia is so complete, the performances so meticulous, that you can't help but start to care about, or pine for, or want to overthrow the British monarchy.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review The Illusionist (2006) 74% EDIT “I can assure you, with all confidence, that the movie is dumb. Really, really, dumb.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Catch a Fire (2006) 75% EDIT “Given the complex motivations at play, it's unfortunate that the script doesn't go in for much psychology and wastes precious minutes halfway humanizing Patrick's Boer rival.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Time to Leave (2005) 74% EDIT “It's a lovely film, with scattered wrenching moments, but it lacks the mannered impact of the rest of Ozon's oeuvre.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Tonite Let's All Make Love in London (1967) 83% EDIT “Peter Whitehead's anatomy of "swinging London" is at its best when indulging in digressive montages of absurd old-lady hats.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Expiration Date (2006) 63% EDIT “It's almost funny whenever a Smith Brothers milk truck is mowing Charlie down, but it's almost never funny when he's wooing the most annoying girl in the world.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 1, 2018 Full Review Jesus Camp (2006) 89% EDIT “The filmmakers are more hands off than your average agitdoc director, but their point is unmistakable.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 27, 2018 Full Review The Battle of Algiers (1966) 99% EDIT “This movie is packed with so much glamour and carnage you won't believe it's a documentary about one man.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Children of Men (2006) 92% EDIT “[Children of Men] is terribly exciting.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Parting Glances (1986) 90% EDIT “Tender and resolutely unsentimental, Parting Glances avoided future AIDS movie clichs not because the example had yet to be set, but because its interests lay elsewhere.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Lust, Caution (2007) 73% EDIT “Lust, Caution is so ambitious and detailed that you'll never be bored.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review 3:10 to Yuma (2007) 89% EDIT “3:10 to Yuma isn't a necessary film. But it sure is tasty.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Terror's Advocate (2007) 87% EDIT “This movie is packed with so much glamour and carnage you won't believe it's a documentary about one man.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review King Corn (2007) 96% EDIT “This smart, amiable documentary is about corn: how it's grown, subsidized, processed, and how it sneaks its way into virtually every food on grocery-store shelves.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) 94% EDIT “Julian Schnabel's first film since Before Night Falls is a gorgeous, canny, and sensual adaptation of a most unlikely story.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Red River (1948) 100% EDIT “The best westerns always undercut their own myths, and few are more gorgeously conflicted than Red River.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Atonement (2007) 83% EDIT “Impeccable design, perfect casting, sound that takes the clack of a typewriter and embeds it into all sorts of furious onscreen rhythms... I was swooning even before the love story kicked in.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 82% EDIT “It's a timely reminder: Ending a war is all very nice, but watch out for what comes next.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Teeth (2007) 79% EDIT “Teeth isn't perfect, but it's definitely one of a kind-and the abstinence-only parody is priceless.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Billy the Kid (2007) 82% EDIT “Billy the Kid lets you see the character first and his autism second. It's a terrific documentary.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Persepolis (2007) 96% EDIT “Drawn in big swaths of black and white and embellished with thin curls of cigarette smoke and cascades of jasmine flowers, Persepolis is a gorgeous film.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) 96% EDIT “4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, which was unjustly denied an Academy Award nomination for best foreign-language film, is grueling and unsentimental. The excellent acting is what keeps it humane.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review The Band's Visit (2007) 98% EDIT “It's not going to solve any problems in the Middle East, and it doesn't attempt to, either. It's just a quiet story about the uncomfortable charm of coerced hospitality.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Girls Rock! (2007) 70% EDIT “Come for the fleeting shots of camp counselors Carrie Brownstein and Beth Ditto, stay for the wicked banshee screams of 7-year-old Palace and her song about how much San Francisco sucks.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review
