	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	Zookeeper New York Times	07/08/11	Fair	"Frank Coraci doesn't impose much discipline, letting some scenes run wild and others peter out, their punch lines dangling.... The love story part is too clumsily predictable..."
2.	War of the Buttons (La nouvelle guerre des boutons) New York Times	10/12/12	Fair	"...the slick filmmaking -- the movie has a glossy, Hollywood-ready feel that sometimes tips into the cutesy -- works against its themes."
3.	Wallander: The Revenge New York Times	06/01/12	Moderate	"...looks and plays like what it is: an episode of a Swedish television series... well-made, above-average TV, but it seems small for the big screen."
4.	Walkaway New York Times	10/29/10	Moderate	"...a breezily schematic Indian movie about relationships in the big city... a pleasant enough time-pass, as they say in India, but stays too near the surface to be memorable."
5.	Wake Up Sid New York Times	10/03/09	Good (Not Great)	"...a genial, human-scaled romantic comedy.... With no big production numbers (songs play over montage sequences), a quiet style and credible characters, 'Wake Up Sid' is Bollywood in an indie mood.... it shows that Mr. Mukerji is a director to watch."
6.	Vettai New York Times	01/16/12	Good	"...partakes of the something-for-everyone formula, mixing the serious -- corruption, evil gangs and limb-threatening fights -- with the less so: songs, romance and comedy. It entertains without breaking any new ground, though it can also surprise."
7.	Versailles '73: American Runway Revolution New York Times	09/07/12	Excellent	"This is an excellent story, and Ms. Draper tells it clearly and stylishly, teasing out the interesting angles and repercussions.... uses split screens to powerful effect..."
8.	Vamps New York Times	11/02/12	Moderate	"...plays like a teen comedy without teens... Aging is probably the real theme here, but it's approached sidelong and has no punch..."
9.	Under Fire: Journalists In Combat New York Times	12/02/11	Very Good	"...well made... You want to hear these thoughtful, articulate and sometimes self-lacerating men and women describe their experiences and traumas."
10.	Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston New York Times	01/20/12	Poor	"Director Whitney Sudler-Smith demonstrates little interest in fashion and less insight into Halston, whose talent and far-reaching influence come as a surprise to him."
11.	Udaan New York Times	07/19/10	Very Good	"...an impressive debut feature by Vikramaditya Motwane that covers familiar first-film ground with emotional conviction and freshness. A kind of Indian cousin to Truffaut's '400 Blows'... Mr. Motwane has an ability to present melodramatic material without the Bollywood-style melodrama."
12.	Think Like a Man New York Times	04/20/12	Moderate	"...occasionally funny... isn't liable to surprise you. Nor will it bore or offend you, even if you find Mr. Harvey's shtick more old-school sexist than old-school courtly."
13.	The Woman in the Septic Tank (Ang babae sa septic tank) New York Times	05/23/12	Good (Not Great)	"...basically has one intermittently funny joke about clueless, exploitative ambition.... manipulations are more good-natured than cynical.... hits its targets, but softly, more in amusement than in anger."
14.	The Revolutionary (2013) New York Times	04/12/13	Good (Not Great)	"It's a remarkable story, even if the film, a no-frills documentary drawn from five years of interviews, isn't much of a movie.... Mr. Rittenberg holds your attention."
15.	The Return of Lencho (El regreso de Lencho) New York Times	11/09/12	Moderate	"...mixes it up stylewise, with flashbacks and interpolated bits of other films and art. But instead of pulsing with freewheeling energy, it sags under its earnest polemics."
16.	The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An Urban History New York Times	01/20/12	Very Good	"This history is too recent to seem dry... the film gets an added emotional punch from interviews with former tenants, whose memories mix fondness with anger and loss."
17.	The Law in These Parts New York Times	11/14/12	Good	"...sober and sobering... the film is fundamentally an inquiry into justice. It makes a forceful argument: Justice and the occupation are incompatible..."
18.	The Heretics New York Times	10/09/09	Very Good	"...gives a joyful sense of what it was like to be a feminist in the 1970s... focuses on a group of feminists, including Ms. Braderman, who took matters into their own hands: they formed an art collective and put out a magazine, Heresies..."
19.	The Green Wave New York Times	08/17/12	Very Good	"By turns frustrating and moving... Yet for all its omissions and problems, 'The Green Wave' communicates certain basic truths effectively..."
20.	The Colors of the Mountain (Los colores de la montaña) New York Times	05/06/11	Very Good	"...quietly assured... its focus on the boys, whose games and projects -- they keep trying to rescue the ball -- are treated with a sweetness that steers clear (mostly) of sentimentality."
