    Bowfinger
    Mechanical plot that seems dull even before it laboriously clanks and screeches into motion.

    The Camden 28
    Not exactly blazing cinema, but intellectually riveting.

    Trilogy: The Weeping Meadow
    It's a gorgeous and resonant work, full of the memorable images and passages of pathos the director's fans expect. It's also a painful, unforgiving film, the kind of thing that sharply divides audiences from critics.

    The Cats of Mirikitani
    An irresistible fable of reconciliation and forgiveness.

    The Puffy Chair
    While it would be accurate to call the film a comedy, the Duplasses are trying to wrestle something closer to Chekhov than to farce out of the lives of these semi-likable, highly recognizable people.

    The Original Kings of Comedy
    Turns a hysterical night of African-American humor into the hottest little picture of the summer.

    Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles
    This new picture will reach only a few devoted American spectators. That's too bad, because once you get used to the apparent flatness and emotional reserve of this picture, it's a sad, slyly comic tale of family trauma and reconciliation that packs a wallop.

    Knuckleball!
    Immediately leaps near the top of the list of greatest baseball documentaries.

    Thirst
    A brilliant and gruesome work of cinematic invention as well as a passionate and painful human love story.

    The Fall of Fujimori
    It's a fascinating, haunting, unintentionally gruesome spectacle with, as Perry has said, echoes of Shakespearean tragedy.

    Sing Your Song
    Most famously, Belafonte ignited immense controversy both within and without the black community by repeatedly suggesting that Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice were the "house slaves" of the George W. Bush administration.

    The Blue Room
    Amalric and cinematographer Christophe Beaucarne structure much of The Blue Room around Julien’s bewildered and increasingly disheveled face, as he tries (and fails) to understand the people around him.

    Magic Mike
    Magic Mike is a fascinating film, one of his (Soderbergh's) best in recent years.

    Straight Outta Compton
    A sprawling, overstuffed, formulaic but highly entertaining story of pop stardom.

    Boyhood
    In its own quiet way, it’s a world of marvels.

    New York Doll
    As sad stories go, this is a happy one.

    The Island President
    Nasheed has traveled the world describing the Maldives as the Poland of global warming - meaning, of course, Poland in 1939. If his country cannot be saved from rising sea levels, he maintains, then there may be no saving Tokyo or Mumbai or New Orleans or New York.
