	Title Publication	Review Date	Rating	Quote
21.	The Monk (Le moine) Los Angeles Times	03/08/13	Moderate	"...a work whose elegant atmospherics ultimately overwhelm the story, even with the terrific Vincent Cassel in the title role.... tastefully overwrought..."
22.	Genius on Hold Hollywood Reporter	03/01/13	Good (Not Great)	"Once the film has laid down its clumsy lessons in political history, the extraordinary trajectory of Shaw's derailed career kicks into focus.... the stuff of a great novel..."
23.	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..."
24.	Hitler's Children (2012) Los Angeles Times	02/17/13	Good	"Though Chanoch Ze'evi's creative choices don't always serve the material, his compassion for his subjects is clear, and their straightforward testimony is provocative."
25.	Escape from Planet Earth 3D Los Angeles Times	02/16/13	Good	"Feel-good but not cloying, zippy but not frenetic, and refreshingly free of snark... takes a pleasingly retro-futuristic stance on matters of décor and attitude."
26.	Like Someone in Love Los Angeles Times	02/15/13	Excellent	"...sinuous and beguiling... Kiarostami embarks on a typically indirect but never rambling path... an elegant mystery that resonates beyond its final, jolting moment."
27.	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."
28.	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."
29.	The Playroom Los Angeles Times	02/08/13	Good	"...the kids are anything but movie-cutesy... the movie often feels posed and inert. Even so, it strikes more than a few chords as it digs deeper than period cliché."
30.	Movie 43 Los Angeles Times	01/28/13	Poor	"...stupidity... The supposedly bold chances the assembled filmmakers take are mainly on the level of adolescent prank... notable for its off timing and lack of snap."
31.	Warm Bodies Hollywood Reporter	01/28/13	Good	"...for those open to the idea of a gently goofy mash-up, the film is strong on atmosphere and offers likably low-key, if somewhat bland, charms."
32.	Brief Reunion Los Angeles Times	01/18/13	Good (Not Great)	"...efficiently told and features solid performances, but without juicy character detail, vise-grip suspense or black comic intensity, it unwinds as a boilerplate genre item."
33.	Let My People Go! Los Angeles Times	01/18/13	Good (Not Great)	"There are slivers of wit embedded in the broad shtick... the farce is by turns fresh and fusty.... falls short of the intended hilarity..."
34.	The Rabbi's Cat (Le chat du rabbin) Los Angeles Times	01/18/13	Very Good	"...the movie brims with incident and fantasy.... a wild and vivid ride and a spirited reminder of the kinship between Jewish and Arab cultural traditions."
35.	Stolen Seas Hollywood Reporter	01/11/13	Very Good	"...a view of Somali piracy that's both broader and more incisive than most mainstream news coverage... makes clear that one man's piracy is another's business as usual."
36.	In Another Country (Da-reun Na-ra-e-suh) Los Angeles Times	01/11/13	Excellent	"...a beguiling set of variations on a theme, a gossamer-light étude composed for delight rather than dissection."
37.	Sister (L'enfant d'en haut) Chicago Tribune	01/04/13	Outstanding	"The chemistry between the two leads is a razor's-edge dance: feral, childish, tender and always complex."
38.	Tchoupitoulas Los Angeles Times	12/21/12	Excellent	"...a jewel-bright whoosh of a ride through nighttime New Orleans... it moves easily between abstraction and dramatic mystery..."
39.	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."
40.	Dead in France Los Angeles Times	12/14/12	Moderate	"...the payoff is small.... In its escalating mayhem and intended stupidity, the movie pulls off a number of visual jokes without generating much in the way of originality."
