	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
1.	$9.99 Los Angeles Times	12/12/08	Weak	"The connective tissue of its episodes and set pieces is not a compelling story line but the painterly physicality of the movie's stop-motion animation."
2.	(Untitled) Hollywood Reporter	10/23/09	Very Good	"...presents a less-than-indelible story but gets the details right as it delves into the business of art and the politics of aesthetic fashion."
3.	16 Acres Los Angeles Times	12/14/12	Very Good	"...incisive and absorbing... Richard Hankin's evenhanded film builds a concise, enlightening account from a decade of confusion."
4.	17 Girls (17 filles) Los Angeles Times	09/21/12	Moderate	"...atmospheric but thin... fosters a sense of mystery without bringing the drama to fruition... the narrative feels increasingly tentative, and the characters remain opaque..."
5.	3 (2011) Los Angeles Times	09/16/11	Good	"...a sensuous intellectual romp whose strong casting makes it involving, even when sentimentality creeps into the story or ideas present themselves in boldface."
6.	33 Postcards Los Angeles Times	05/17/13	Weak	"Innocence meets experience, unconvincingly... strained.... Guy Pearce is tight-lipped and anguished in a role that's a flat conception, like everything else in the story."
7.	360 Chicago Tribune	08/24/12	Weak	"...any sense of realism is undone by contrivance.... an over-plotted and dreary farrago.... Subtlety has never been the director's strong suit..."
8.	360 Los Angeles Times	08/03/12	Weak	"...the faux profundity runs deep, infecting nearly every exchange in each vignette... any sense of realism is undone by contrivance."
9.	5 Broken Cameras Los Angeles Times	09/14/12	Very Good	"...the immediacy with which it bears witness to injustice is powerful and affecting, as are the images of joy Burnat captures amid the burning olive trees."
10.	A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Los Angeles Times	02/08/13	Good (Not Great)	"The earnest passages mostly just lie there; the film works best on its frilly, exuberant surface, as a valentine to streamline moderne, pop art and LA."
11.	A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Chicago Tribune	02/15/13	Good (Not Great)	"A vibe in no particular search of a plot.... The on-screen action never matters or fully engages... the self-conscious exercise in low-budget dress-up offers some rewards."
12.	A Little Bit Of Heaven Los Angeles Times	05/04/12	Weak	"Gren Wells' screenplay throws around a few ideas about female independence and sexuality, but finally it's as shallow as it is mawkish."
13.	A Little Help Los Angeles Times	07/22/11	Good (Not Great)	"By turns well observed and overstated... If the film takes too long to reach its rather soft denouement, Fischer makes Laura's awakening convincing."
14.	A Simple Life (Tao Jie) Los Angeles Times	04/13/12	Very Good	"...assured... a clear-eyed portrait of the love between a middle-aged man and his amah, the servant who has cared for him since he was born."
15.	A Somewhat Gentle Man (En ganske snill mann) Los Angeles Times	01/28/11	Weak	"...like the Coen brothers at their least convincing, the mix of low-grade depression and amped quirkiness never shakes off the feel of self-conscious posturing."
16.	A Wink and a Smile Los Angeles Times	06/12/09	Moderate	"...as the women learn to wield pasties and feathers and create their burlesque characters, the idea of their pursuit is more interesting than the actual pursuing."
17.	Adventures of Power Hollywood Reporter	10/08/09	Weak	"What might have had power as a short film is, at feature length, a mashup of boilerplate and bizarre."
18.	All Good Things Hollywood Reporter	11/29/10	Excellent	"...a sharp and unsettling depiction of human mysteries and the elusiveness of justice... the film casts an effective, deepening chill."
19.	All Together Los Angeles Times	10/19/12	Good (Not Great)	"Septuagenarians give communal living a go... the film manages to avoid many of the pitfalls and pratfalls that such a scenario suggests. Until it surrenders to them."
20.	Almost in Love Los Angeles Times	03/01/13	Good (Not Great)	"If the romantic fate of the central triangle never matters, the sumptuous wistfulness of the filmmaking does.... Neave shapes his story as a double dose of unrequited love..."
