The We and the I (2012) 70% EDIT “French director Michel Gondry takes a select group of Bronx teenagers, puts them on a bus, and lets them loose. For some of us, it's a scary ride.” – culturevulture.net Mar 29, 2013 Full Review Elles (2011) 22% EDIT “The shock factor may put off some, especially men who might feel uncomfortable having their sex portrayed with such cruel strokes (including male film critics-this film has been panned by so many of them) ...” – culturevulture.net May 28, 2012 Full Review The Green Ray (1986) 94% EDIT “I've seen "Le rayon vert" at least five times, and when I saw it again a few days ago, the beauty of its complex structure struck me once again, combining as it does the rationalism of moral convictions with the almost superstitious belief in fate.” – culturevulture.net May 20, 2012 Full Review Seducing Charlie Barker (2010) 56% EDIT “Seducing Charlie Barker may have been made on a skimpy budget, but it's got everything a studio would pay big money for.” – culturevulture.net Dec 3, 2011 Full Review The Artist (2011) 95% EDIT “The Artist is a crowd-pleaser in the most modern "old-fashioned" sense of the word.” – culturevulture.net Dec 3, 2011 Full Review Nénette (2010) 85% EDIT “Nicholas Philibert's film is a heartfelt and wondrously respectful homage to this magnificent species.” – culturevulture.net Jan 28, 2011 Full Review Somewhere (2010) 71% EDIT “Sofia Coppola is here to remind us that film is an art form, and "Somewhere" is yet another work of art of her own design.” – culturevulture.net Dec 23, 2010 Full Review Tiny Furniture (2010) 79% EDIT “With nothing more than a teensy camera and a big talent, Miss Dunham has made a great little movie. This young filmmaker is the real thing.” – culturevulture.net Dec 12, 2010 Full Review Inside Job (2010) 98% EDIT “... an excoriating indictment of the investment banking industry.” – culturevulture.net Oct 26, 2010 Full Review You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) 46% EDIT “I was so depressed after leaving the theater, I had to crawl to the nearest video store and rent a Marx Brothers movie in order to revive myself.” – culturevulture.net Oct 16, 2010 Full Review Mademoiselle Chambon (2009) 82% EDIT “...a nearly perfect film."” – culturevulture.net Sep 14, 2010 Full Review EDIT “French actor Vincent Cassel, as Mesrine, delivers in spades.” – culturevulture.net Aug 29, 2010 Full Review Everyone Else (2009) 88% EDIT “A painfully incisive portrait of a young German couple whose seemingly passionate union gets sorely tested while on holiday in Sardinia.” – culturevulture.net Jul 4, 2010 Full Review Fish Tank (2009) 91% EDIT “Fish Tank could easily have turned into a maudlin and overly heart-wrenching tale, but it's gritty and tough instead, just like its heroine.” – culturevulture.net Jan 30, 2010 Full Review The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009) 69% EDIT “Just as The Twilight Saga: New Moon taps into to the sexual yearnings and psychic disturbances of pubescent girls, so does The Private Lives of Pippa Lee for the perimenopausal crowd.” – culturevulture.net Dec 12, 2009 Full Review Everything Strange and New (2009) 67% EDIT “Frazer Bradshaw's debut feature reeks of a need to do something grand, and its attempt to reach high art makes its failure that much more obvious.” – culturevulture.net Dec 6, 2009 Full Review Antichrist (2009) 53% EDIT “Antichrist is a kind of exorcism for von Trier, an exorcism that involves no less than the destruction of the genitals of both sexes.” – culturevulture.net Oct 26, 2009 Full Review Bright Star (2009) 83% EDIT “If John Keats is the catalyst who inspired Miss Campion to make this film, and us to go see it, it is Fanny Brawne, the bright star of the film's title, who makes it worthwhile.” – culturevulture.net Oct 18, 2009 Full Review The Baader Meinhof Complex (2008) 85% EDIT “... an exhaustive account of how a gang of self-appointed urban guerrillas traumatized Germany during the decade following the global paroxysms of 1968.” – culturevulture.net Sep 8, 2009 Full Review The Beautiful Person (2008) 57% EDIT “Mr. Honor rejuvenates the age-old love triangle story on the surface, but underneath, it's still the same heavy-handed morality at play.” – culturevulture.net Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Julie & Julia (2009) 76% EDIT “Meryl Streep's performance brings Julia Child to vivid life ... As Nora Ephron herself has said: "She plays all of us better than we play ourselves."” – culturevulture.net Sep 1, 2009 Full Review Séraphine (2008) 88% EDIT “We are ... made privy to the very reverie, that state of almost beatific hypnosis, where artists find sanctuary and are compelled to create.” – culturevulture.net Jul 19, 2009 Full Review Julia (2008) 72% EDIT “I recommend going to see it, but don't blame me when you feel like you've downed a fifth of vodka afterwards.” – culturevulture.net Jul 11, 2009 Full Review Whatever Works (2009) 50% EDIT “I am a huge Woody Allen fan, but I had a hard time with Whatever Works.” – culturevulture.net Jun 27, 2009 Full Review The Proposal (2009) 45% EDIT “Sandra Bullock is the paragon of a romantic comedy heroine ... So why does she find herself the star power behind so many romcom stinkers?” – culturevulture.net Jun 20, 2009 Full Review
