Rapt (2009) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “For two rapt hours, I also felt extremely fortunate not to be a rich and powerful industrialist.” – About.com Jul 10, 2011 Full Review Jane Eyre (2011) 85% 4/5 EDIT “All the ingredients are there in this captivating film.” – About.com Jun 10, 2011 Full Review The Princess of Montpensier (2010) 85% 3/5 EDIT “I was captivated by every costume change and new hair style of the young princess.” – About.com Jun 10, 2011 Full Review Everything Must Go (2010) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “Everything Must Go is a fine film on it's own, though the resolution, a happy ending of sorts, is far too clean and tidy considering its inspiration.” – About.com Jun 10, 2011 Full Review One Lucky Elephant (2009) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “Flora is a gorgeous creature, truly gorgeous, and it is something to behold the affectionate relationship between the elephant and her keeper.” – About.com Jun 10, 2011 Full Review Zero Bridge (2008) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Almost effortlessly, the plot of Zero Bridge grabs you.” – About.com Feb 20, 2011 Full Review When We Leave (2010) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Until the final scene, Feo Aladag's When We Leave is an effective melodrama.” – About.com Feb 6, 2011 Full Review A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) 83% 3/5 EDIT “A somewhat charming movie.” – About.com Jan 19, 2011 Full Review The Woodmans (2010) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Though compelling, it is a complicated and difficult experience to watch The Woodmans.” – About.com Jan 19, 2011 Full Review Somewhere (2010) 71% 4.5/5 EDIT “Coppola continues to surprise and amaze with her singular view of the world.” – About.com Dec 23, 2010 Full Review The Fighter (2010) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A classic story of a local boy who makes good is rendered electric by tremendous performances.” – About.com Dec 15, 2010 Full Review Black Swan (2010) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Entertaining, enthralling, over-the-top, terrifically tense, sometimes funny, and just plain good.” – About.com Dec 15, 2010 Full Review White Material (2009) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Watching White Material is in no way a passive experience. Denis has made a powerful, engrossing film.” – About.com Nov 21, 2010 Full Review Heartbreaker (2010) 68% 4/5 EDIT “"Unapologetically silly."” – About.com Nov 21, 2010 Full Review Never Let Me Go (2010) 71% 3/5 EDIT “An impeccably told story that failed to break my heart” – About.com Nov 21, 2010 Full Review Jolene (2008) 48% 2.5/5 EDIT “Chastain has long red hair, wide eyes, and an even wider smile. She is Jolene, of course, and she is appealing.” – About.com Nov 21, 2010 Full Review Brotherhood (2009) 69% 2.5/5 EDIT “The acts of violence and hatred they commit are so appalling, that by the film's inevitable tragic end, I was unable to muster the requisite sympathy.” – About.com Aug 20, 2010 Full Review Soul Kitchen (2009) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Watch and laugh and groan. Laugh some more.” – About.com Aug 20, 2010 Full Review The Extra Man (2010) 40% 2.5/5 EDIT “The delightful premise of the film somehow becomes preposterous.

And I loved it. It made me cry.” – About.com Jul 16, 2010 Full Review I Am Love (2009) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Exhilarating.” – About.com Jun 19, 2010 Full Review Two in the Wave (2009) 64% 2.5/6 EDIT “The film, unfortunately, has the feel of a lesson from a school book.” – About.com May 9, 2010 Full Review Welcome (2009) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Loiret's story is inherently affecting, made more so by veteran actor Vincent Lindon, who owns one of cinema's all-time great hangdog expressions.” – About.com May 9, 2010 Full Review Boogie Woogie (2009) 32% 3/5 EDIT “The film cannot sustain the giddy, fast pace that sets it off.” – About.com May 9, 2010 Full Review
