    A Little Help
    Smith turns in a subtly layered performance that suggests the hurt behind Kathy's callousness. And O'Donnell gets to the heart of a man who realizes too late that he's made unfortunate choices.

    Larry Crowne
    It's simply an opportunity to spend time with characters who may lack depth but are fun to watch.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Calvin Wilson
    Beginners
    A lovably quirky comedy-drama with a rhythm all its own.
    • 70 Metascore

    Queen to Play
    Bonnaire, whose films include "Vagabond" and "Monsieur Hire," gets Helene just right, registering her joys and disappointments with finesse.

    The Beaver
    The Beaver isn't a perfect film, but it's challenging and original.

    The Princess of Montpensier
    Superbly acted, and a return to form for Tavernier, who guided jazz legend Dexter Gordon to an Oscar nomination for "'Round Midnight" (1986).
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Calvin Wilson
    Win Win
    It's an original that plays as if it were based on a novel.

    Hanna
    As the highly focused Hanna, Ronan - who had a breakout role in "Atonement" - is simply brilliant.

    Source Code
    As popcorn entertainment, it's right on schedule.
    • 67 Metascore

    I Saw the Devil
    A terrific but uncompromising film that's definitely not for everyone.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Calvin Wilson
    Kaboom
    An inconsequential mess.
    • 68 Metascore

    A Somewhat Gentle Man
    Skarsgard, who is perhaps best known for "Good Will Hunting" and "Breaking the Waves," makes the most of his rich role, imbuing Ulrik with a knockabout charm.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 100 Calvin Wilson
    The Adjustment Bureau
    An exhilarating balancing act, at once a science-fiction romp, a paranoid thriller and a philosophical treatise.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 63 Calvin Wilson
    The Company Men
    As a drama about coping with hard times, The Company Men doesn't come close to being as sharp or entertaining as "Up in the Air" - which starred Wells' "ER" associate George Clooney.

    White Material
    Unhurried in its storytelling but unshakable in its impact.

    No Strings Attached
    A foul-mouthed comedy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Bad Santa" (2003) also had plenty of crude language and lewd behavior. The difference is, "Bad Santa" was extremely funny.

    Rabbit Hole
    Might be mistaken for a mere soap opera. But it's actually an emotional symphony.
    • 39 Metascore

    The Green Hornet
    Seth Rogen is the Green Hornet. What else do you need to know?
    • 33 Metascore

    Gulliver's Travels
    Loosely - very loosely - based on the classic Jonathan Swift story, "Gulliver's Travels" begins promisingly but quickly loses its way.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 88 Calvin Wilson
    The Fighter
    Director David O. Russell ("Three Kings") delivers a film of staggering impact.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 75 Calvin Wilson
    How Do You Know
    A bit slow to get started, and it's nowhere near as funny as "The Hangover." But it'll make you smile.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Calvin Wilson
    Due Date
    Pregnant with possibility; it's the delivery that disappoints.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 63 Calvin Wilson
    Faster
    Plays as if Tillman studied the works of director Michael Mann ("Heat"), but got a C on the final exam.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 88 Calvin Wilson
    Black Swan
    Black Swan is ridiculously over the top, but in a way that makes it fascinating to watch.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 50 Calvin Wilson
    The Tourist
    A would-be light thriller that's so deficient in the genre's essentials - such as witty dialogue, intriguing characters and surprising yet credible plot turns - that you're embarrassed for everyone involved.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 75 Calvin Wilson
    Stone
    Stone isn't for everyone. But for all its shortcomings, it is courageously original.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 Calvin Wilson
    Ponyo
    Traditional in the best sense.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Calvin Wilson
    The Extra Man
    Although their latest film is not without a certain charm, it quickly wears out its welcome.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 100 Calvin Wilson
    The White Ribbon
    A stark, contemplative and hauntingly brilliant film.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 100 Calvin Wilson
    A Serious Man
    A comedy of discomfort -- and one of their (Coen brothers) best, most insightful and most provocative films.
