 "...the film lives in gray areas, brilliantly juxtaposing the perverse intimacy of torture with the moral imperative to stop terrorism.... masterful, merciless..." |

 "...a funny, honest film about love -- platonic, sisterly and otherwise. 'Sister' is talky and claustrophobic, but the closeness lets the performances stand out." |

 "Patton Oswalt balances Theron's tartness with a wry, bittersweet turn that gives heft to this dark comedy..." |

 "Woody Allen amuses but isn't at his best in this yarn about untangling relationships that ends with too many frayed bits." |

 "The fact that they're funny at all is no thanks to a script that tries to draw laughs from humiliation." |

 "Think of it as 'Toy Story' for the Super Mario generation.... has clever touches and cool 3-D animation, even if it isn't as funny or as touching as a certain toy-centric classic." |

 "...subtlety is not this movie's strong suit. Neither is logic.... The performances are fine, and the film means well.... But this is more of a battle cry than a movie." |

 "...sweet, old-fashioned and unhurried -- perhaps too much so, with its meager 68-minute running time feeling like a bit of a slog.... very pleasant, but hardly memorable." |

 "Giamatti again proves he's the best everyman in the biz... Bobby Cannavale is hilarious as his buddy.... 'Win Win' is heavier than it looks -- and funnier." |

 "...mesmerizing... Swinton gives an award-worthy turn... It's a fascinating debate on what parents owe their kids -- even (especially?) the ones only a mother could love." |

 "...with sluggish action and a patent lack of chemistry, the two-legged actors just can't compete with the pachyderm's charms.... the film is still beautiful to watch." |
