	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch Los Angeles Times	11/18/11	Good	"...briskly paced... handsome, large-scale escapist fare... Kristin Scott Thomas is just as enjoyable and authoritative in this mainstream fare as she is in more serious films."
2.	Dzi Croquettes Los Angeles Times	11/11/11	Outstanding	"...extensive performance footage illustrates just how electrifying these entertainers were. Dzi Croquettes transcended camp with inspired artistry and achieved moments of poignancy amid much exhilaration."
3.	Young Goethe in Love Los Angeles Times	11/04/11	Fair	"...has an awesome array of authentic settings that drench the film in period atmosphere and capable stars... Yet it drowns in swoony clichés."
4.	Ra.One Los Angeles Times	10/28/11	Outstanding	"...exhilarating... Bollywood at its best. It has energy, spectacle and humor, song and dance, but razzle-dazzle special effects and action stunts never overwhelm its story..."
5.	Daylight (2011) Los Angeles Times	10/21/11	Very Good	"...a script that concentrates on fleshed-out characterizations, leaves audiences to connect the dots and demolishes genre clichés.... a fine instance of the overly familiar made fresh."
6.	The Sons Of Tennessee Williams Los Angeles Times	10/14/11	Good	"...uniquely engaging.... a consciousness-raising revelation of the evolution of gay rights in New Orleans and by extension, the South.... the struggle for equality is far from over."
7.	The Road to Freedom Los Angeles Times	09/30/11	Weak	"While it is impressive that director Brendan Moriarty was as capable as he was, making his feature debut at age 20, his film needs more shape, more nuance and more punch. Its strongest asset is its gorgeous natural scenery."
8.	Silent Souls (Ovsyanki) Los Angeles Times	09/30/11	Outstanding	"...a marvel. Aleksei Fedorchenko's expressive powers and his visual prowess are astonishing, and though the film's conclusion is abrupt and confounding, it feels right."
9.	There Was Once... Los Angeles Times	09/23/11	Very Good	"Much in this wholly absorbing and poignant documentary is familiar from numerous previous Holocaust accounts, but Gyongyi Mago and her quiet sense of moral obligation provides a fresh perspective."
10.	Programming The Nation? Los Angeles Times	09/23/11	Very Good	"...profoundly disturbing, as ambitious as it is provocative.... There seems to be no end to the malaise that can be ascribed to the emergence of an Orwellian society."
11.	Special Treatment (Sans queue ni tete) Los Angeles Times	09/16/11	Very Good	"...complex, compassionate and endlessly illuminating.... a serious film, but Labrune allows a touch of dark comedy... the leads' journeys are sharply yet kindly observed..."
12.	Mr. Nice Los Angeles Times	09/13/11	Good	"Though the film takes a while to cast its spell, Bernard Rose's close observation of Howard Marks and those around him becomes increasingly involving..."
13.	Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (My Brother's Bride) Los Angeles Times	09/12/11	Very Good	"...a bouncy and good-humored romantic musical comedy... director Ali Abbas Zafar strings together such a constant rush of twists and turns, amid a plethora of pleasing musical numbers, that he makes the getting to the inevitable happy ending lots of fun."
14.	The Hedgehog (Le herisson) Chicago Tribune	09/09/11	Outstanding	"Josiane Balasko's understated portrayal of Renee is the very center of the film. 'Ugly, short and fat' is her self-description."
15.	Bodyguard (2011) Los Angeles Times	09/02/11	Very Good	"...a rousing example of Bollywood-style pure escapist entertainment.... the gracefully dynamic style even carries off a soap opera-like tear-jerking finale with aplomb. Lots of fun."
16.	Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (Di Renjie) Los Angeles Times	09/02/11	Outstanding	"...finds director Tsui Hark, a genre wizard, in top form... Chang Chia-lu's intricate script bristles with wit and suspense; the film from start to finish is a terrific entertainment."
17.	Politics of Love Los Angeles Times	08/26/11	Good	"...on its own terms, 'Politics of Love' emerges as an amusing entertainment.... clever and lively... an encouraging accomplishment not only for its stars but also for its skillful director, William Dear, and writer Gary Goldstein... easy to take."
18.	The Hedgehog (Le herisson) Los Angeles Times	08/19/11	Outstanding	"...an exquisite, intimate film of restraint and delicacy.... takes an unexpected turn in an act of daring that allows this splendid film to attain a whole new level of meaning."
19.	Darwin (2011) Los Angeles Times	08/19/11	Excellent	"...a film of understated power and deep resonance that touches upon universal themes of survival, self-discovery, community and the paradoxical nature of civilization itself..."
20.	Aarakshan Los Angeles Times	08/15/11	Very Good	"...a splendid example of how Bollywood's skilled way with melodrama helps make entertaining a lengthy exploration of a very serious and complex issue that has universal resonance.... stirring..."
