1. 05/17/13 Excellent "...tender, judicious, fascinated, sexually charged but not prurient.... Marine Vacth has a seductive, covert intelligence.... Drink it in."
2. 04/26/13 Outstanding "...a classic coming-of-age story... a clear-eyed essay on the power of romance.... Glorious vision of youth and truth, love and loss, your name is Mud."
3. 12/19/12 Moderate "Subplots go nowhere in particular.... for the last 30 minutes, not only did I not laugh, I wanted it to end so I could get back to my own boring but less precious life."
4. 11/30/12 Excellent "...both sensuous and thoughtful, a treat for the spirit as well as for any moviegoer longing for an intelligent film involving brave heroes and dreadful villains."
5. 11/26/12 Good "Schoenaerts exudes a masculinity that is both effortless and troubled... Cotillard demonstrates again her eerie ability to write complex feelings on her face..."
6. 09/06/12 Very Good "...one of Redford's knottiest and most involving films... a pulsating drama of a man who goes on an intricate, often interior journey to outrun his past."
7. 05/25/12 Excellent "...revels in the lure of the lurid... barges into that mythical land, the American South, takes root in the sins of the flesh and the soul, and digs deep, down and dirty..."
8. 05/25/12 Outstanding "...a two-character drama -- and, above all, a love story, Haneke-style.... thrilling, draining.... In the history of movies about love, 'Amour' lasts forever."
9. 11/25/11 Outstanding "...the fizziest, most endearing film in ages.... the movie sets itself impossible goals and keeps meeting and exceeding them."
10. 09/08/11 Excellent "...astonishing.... sure-footed, emotionally and cinematically... the film is generous to all its besotted creatures, and to the audience as well."
11. 09/08/11 Very Good "Ah Tao is portrayed with a poignant delicacy by Deanie Yip, a Canto-pop singer and pert supporting actress in the 1980s... a film of grand and acute emotions."
12. 09/08/11 Very Good "...a faithful and bold adaptation... turns formerly heroic figures into prisoners of fate, pawns of remorseless Nature."
13. 07/15/11 Very Good "...this tale about a strong little girl fighting to keep her family alive and together has both high art and a big heart, audience appeal and gut impact."
14. 08/02/10 Very Good "...efficiently and vigorously enumerates the dangers of nuclear proliferation... a stirring and scary reminder of the nuclear sword hanging over our collective neck."
