    The Homestretch
    The Homestretch is ultimately a humane accomplishment.

    A Coffee In Berlin
    Gerster and Schilling are more successful when they allow Niko's behavior to be their main subject.

    Lila Lila
    The appealing performances from Brühl and Herzsprung, as well as the film's surprisingly clean sense of composition...keep Lila, Lila moving. But it ultimately suffers from poor characterization.

    Where We Started
    A compelling look at the pitfalls of being a grownup, Where We Started will resonate with anyone who's ever clicked with the right person at the wrong time, or who's wondered what it might be like.

    For a Woman
    Visually, Kurys offers a mostly conventional, period-handsome widescreen style, which suits her capable actors just fine. The real drawback, though, is the spoon-feeding frame narrative, which takes away from the urgency.

    No God, No Master
    Green's historical diligence proves rewarding... But the movie, shot largely in Milwaukee in 2009, can still be dry.

    Blumenthal
    Fisher's filmmaking, aside from a couple scenes between Ethan and his best friend (Alexander Cendese) that are nicely composed in long-take two-shots, is too consistently flat to make the material spark.

    The Age of Innocence
    The Age of Innocence remains a consistent spellbinder, laying bare its inhabitants’ follies and furies with a tender touch and a vigilant quietude that accumulates into a grand force.
    • 85 Metascore

    Unforgiven
    Unforgiven is a stark western in slow motion, obsessed with reflection, not action.

    Destiny (Der müde Tod)
    If this movie about the grip of the next life has a mantra, it's this: "Love is stronger than death!"

    Distant Voices, Still Lives
    This combination of intimacy and remove — the startling emotional jolt of seeing a family in mourning stare toward you in silence, an image of the felled patriarch hanging on the wall behind them — characterizes Davies’s enthralling thirty-year-old debut feature, an autobiographically informed but hardly event-reliant memory piece.
