 "Does Julie Delpy not like the French?... Marion's selling her soul as art; her father (Delpy's real-life dad, Albert) won't bathe; and her sister (Alexia Landeau) is a nudist." |

 "...a movie we all can dig.... has that kind of humor, the go-for-broke lunacy that isn't afraid to offend but never veers to the offensive..." |

 "...there's no arguing the power of the story and the performances.... if the Robinson adoration begins to feel like a bit much, that's okay. Some things need to be glorified." |

 "Roman Coppola's faux-artsy Swan isn't half as compelling as the real-life Sheen.... the film's shticky fantasy cutaways make it feel like a live-action 'Family Guy.' " |

 "...a humor-free remake that flags until the satisfying final scenes. Haley tries, but his new Freddy is no cut-up as he grimly stalks kids." |

 "If the stats don't get you -- one in six U.S. families is 'food insecure' -- the kids will.... Tom Colicchio and Jeff Bridges lend star power to the searing film..." |

 "...perhaps the best thing about this 'Anna' is that it plays up the novel's other couple, Kitty (Alicia Vikander) and Levin (Domhnall Gleeson). They're the true romantics." |
