	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Where Soldiers Come From New York Times	09/08/11	Outstanding	"...the real cost of distant political decisions is softly illuminated, as well as the shame of a country with little to offer its less fortunate young people than a ticket to a battlefield."
2.	The Last Circus (Balada triste de trompeta) New York Times	08/19/11	Outstanding	"Brilliant, bizarre, dazzling... the jaw-dropping brio of its execution takes the breath away: resisting its lunatic spell would probably require full-body sedation."
3.	The Arbor New York Times	04/27/11	Outstanding	"...springs to life in the bright bitterness of playwright Andrea Dunbar's prose, showcased in alfresco performances of contentious scenes from the play."
4.	The Cove New York Times	07/31/09	Outstanding	"...exceptionally well-made... unfolds like a spy thriller, complete with bugged hotel rooms, clandestine derring-do and mysterious men in gray flannel suits."
5.	Forbidden Lie$ New York Times	04/03/09	Outstanding	"Cool-headed, lighthearted and outrageously entertaining... a careful peeling of claim and counterclaim to reveal one of the most complex literary scandals of our time."
6.	Stranger Things New York Times	04/05/13	Outstanding	"...unexpectedly profound... a drama so modest and trusting of its two leads that any directing flourishes might have shattered its spell."
7.	The Imposter (2012) New York Times	07/13/12	Outstanding	"...a mind-boggling relay of official incompetence, familial self-deception and ingenious duplicity... Mr. Layton lightens the mood without making light of the crime."
8.	Starry Starry Night (Xing kong) New York Times	07/06/12	Outstanding	"...enchanting... Based on an illustrated book by Jimmy Liao... a visually transcendent fairy tale that wordlessly evokes complex childhood emotions."
9.	Redlegs New York Times	05/25/12	Outstanding	"...a riveting portrait of young men in shock and in mourning... the actors never flinch from dialogue so raw and close-ups so clinging that they have nowhere to hide. All three are remarkable..."
10.	Higher Ground (2011) NPR	08/25/11	Outstanding	"...something rarely seen in American movies: a sincerely humane examination of what it means to experience a crisis of faith.... tackles big questions with affecting humility."
11.	A Film Unfinished New York Times	08/18/10	Outstanding	"...remarkable as much for its speculative restraint as for its philosophical reach.... a palimpsest of impressions from multiple, meticulously researched sources..."
12.	Breath Made Visible New York Times	04/23/10	Outstanding	"...a well-deserved tribute to a woman who can't stand still.... adoring... captures both the passion and the pioneering spirit of Ms. Halprin's revolutionary performances."
13.	Breaking Upwards New York Times	04/02/10	Outstanding	"...a thoroughly charming romantic comedy that takes a fresh look at a spoiled relationship.... startlingly humane and unafraid of loose ends."
14.	Fixer: The Taking of Ajmal Naqshbandi New York Times	03/09/10	Outstanding	"...stunning... memorializes a soft-spoken, savvy young man whose motivations remain stubbornly vague.... Mr. Olds works with melancholic artistry... a deeply disorienting film propelled by a jagged anxiety that permeates every image and interview."
15.	The Wedding Song (Le chant des mariées) New York Times	10/23/09	Outstanding	"...a seductively fluid and tactile drama from the writer and director Karin Albou, explores love and identity through the prism of the female body and the rights of its owner."
16.	Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation New York Times	07/31/09	Outstanding	"A feast of mammaries, monsters and bloody mayhem... an affectionate, rollicking guide to the drive-in classics of Australian filmmaking from the 1970s and '80s."
17.	Revue New York Times	05/13/09	Outstanding	"By turns droll, dismaying, poetic and quaint... melds disparate images of Soviet life during the 1950s and '60s into a luminous time capsule of patriotic fervor and political fealty.... Sergei Loznitsa assembles a black-and-white mosaic of hardship and hope."
18.	Pieta (2013) New York Times	05/17/13	Excellent	"Morally cunning and with a tone as black as pitch... a deeply unnerving revenge movie in which redemption is dangled like a cat toy before a cougar."
19.	Old Dog (Khyi rgan) New York Times	05/14/13	Excellent	"Raw and resolute, this unsettling fable feels driven by an anger that remains largely unexpressed. Akku may say very little, but his resolve is clear..."
20.	Sun Don't Shine New York Times	04/26/13	Excellent	"...unspools like a Françoise Sagan novel: purposefully, enigmatically and with a raw emotional purity that makes its volatile central couple appear even more defenseless..."
