1.

Wild Horse, Wild Ride

New York Times
08/24/12 Excellent "...expertly braids the stories of nine trainers and their temperamental charges... The first interactions between human and animal are fascinating..."
2.

My Reincarnation

New York Times
10/28/11 Excellent "...remarkable.... Chogyal Namkhai Norbu is an engaging, charismatic figure; by the end, Yeshi is finding his own footing, able to relate to a young, wired-in audience."
3. 09/14/11 Excellent "...casts a transfixing spell... a lush and hypnotic examination of a painter's work and the times in which he lived... an extended contemplation of the creative process itself."
4. 02/08/13 Very Good "Mr. Felver deftly blends old news clips and readings with interviews of writers and artists... effusive in its praise, but some lives and legacies were meant for a tribute."
5.

Uprising

New York Times
01/11/13 Very Good "Among the film's virtues is its analysis of the strategies that channeled the unrest.... a concise commemoration of a new society's birth pains."
6.

The Revisionaries

New York Times
10/26/12 Very Good "Mr. Thurman's presentation is admirably evenhanded; though he clearly supports the scientists, for example, he avoids the temptation to ridicule the commissioners."
7. 04/24/12 Very Good "...a fascinating introduction to a movement scrambling to adjust enough to guarantee a future, without severing all ties to its principled past."
8. 10/21/11 Very Good "...that rare artifact, a snapshot of a major industrial shift on its way to a tipping point.... a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry."
9.

Sound It Out

New York Times
09/15/11 Very Good "...an affectionate portrait of a shrinking group of record collectors under technological siege.... Like a mint pressing in a bargain bin, 'Sound It Out' is a rare find. Sweet."
10.

The Big Uneasy

New York Times
09/24/10 Very Good "...a cogent 98-minute investigative chronicle... an indispensable part of any history of New Orleans before, during and after Katrina.... New Orleans remains in jeopardy."
11.

Climate of Change

New York Times
05/12/10 Very Good "...never less than stunning... this affable call to environmental arms has little patience for those who say that the problems are too large, that there's nothing to be done... urges us to consider the earth a knowable, local everyday place..."
12. 10/26/12 Good "Mr. Laue is an intriguing subject, smart, affable and with a dry wit... a memorable account of an inspiring struggle to finish on top."
13. 09/28/12 Good "...as manifestoes go it is calm and smart, offsetting its stridency with discussion, music, even humor, while issuing a call to arms."
14. 07/13/12 Good "The film's leisurely pace seems to capture the rhythms of island life. Though often random in its organization, this portrait is still much more than a snapshot."
15. 06/01/12 Good "In the sweep of its ambitions and the visions and sounds it gives of the world, 'One Day' is astounding. Still, this 104-minute film scrambles relentlessly..."
16. 09/16/11 Good "...a well-reported history of the Camp David talks, the events that led to them, and the difficult negotiations that followed to forge the peace treaty that was signed the next spring.... the film is not congratulatory."
17.

Love in Space

New York Times
09/09/11 Good "...everything we expect from an ensemble romantic comedy: charming meet-cutes; whimsical situations; the feverish urgency of young professionals, urban or otherwise."
18. 05/12/10 Good "...low-key and gently touches on issues not usually found in sports comedies: hard times, fragmented families, reverse discrimination. It's the situations that are comical, not the characters.... the film's conclusion is unexpected and sweet."
19. 09/18/09 Good "If the filmmakers opt to make only light statements about junk food, obesity and solid waste, they at least leave the audience sated on a single serving of inspired lunacy."
20.

The Story of Luke

New York Times
04/05/13 Good (Not Great) "...a modest reminder that the challenges of autism may sometimes be no more daunting or fearsome than those that face anyone in search of an independent life."
