    Best in Show
    You will be surprised by the film's poignancy when the winner is announced. You may even get choked up. You will care that much.

    Panic
    Panic never lets you forget that Donald Sutherland can be one of America's greatest actors.

    Humanité
    Frustrating, tedious and yet often compelling.

    Shanghai Noon
    The film is still a wonderful lark filled with an ingredient most summer blockbusters lack -- likability.

    Under the City's Skin
    With understated skill and absolute authenticity, the film builds with enough layers that by its powerful ending, you'll feel as if you have been kicked in the stomach.

    Monsoon Wedding
    Gives just enough to forgive any of its initial flaws and eventually grows on you.

    Alex & Emma
    You can't help but think how much better this film would be had Woody Allen directed it...How much more acerbic fun would it be to see Judy Davis playing stenographer to a neurotic, writer's-blocked Woody?

    Suzhou River
    Seems deeply influenced by American film noir, the Western fairy tale (in this case, mermaids) and the works of Alfred Hitchcock in particular.

    OT: Our Town
    Watching the teachers whip these kids into Wilder recitations is especially intriguing, particularly when their personalities come out during the sometimes-arduous process.

    Lovely & Amazing
    About how women see themselves in terms of bodies, age and careers, but without all the "you go girl" tripe crammed into so many other movies of this ilk.

    Joy Ride
    The picture is pinched and predictable. Even with the immensely talented Steve Zahn, an actor who's known to steal scenes and, sometimes, save pictures, the movie is a yawn.

    Loser
    The script is atypically bland for Heckerling.

    Harry Is Here to Help
    A witty, frightening, well-acted picture with near-perfect cinematic timing.

    Bring It On
    The newest, and probably first, true cheerleading movie.

    Secret Ballot
    A funny, puzzling movie ambiguous enough to be engaging and oddly moving.

    The Grey Zone
    The dialogue is clipped and theatrical, and, aside from Harvey Keitel's German officer, accents are abandoned, which may distract viewers. For me it worked fine.

    Thirteen Conversations About One Thing
    It's a remarkable, thoughtful achievement that will make you want to watch it twice. You should.

    What's Cooking?
    Goes overboard in its presentation of supposed reality.

    Liam
    It's almost numbingly sad, but you won't regret watching -- and you'll surely never forget it.

    The Dish
    Appropriate music, lovely cinematography and stellar performances by both a subtly moving Neill and a likable, barrel-chested super-American Warburton.

    Shower
    A lovely film that requires a leisurely sit to think, Shower is not so much a shower as a bath, and a refreshing one at that.

    Les Destinées
    Rich in detail, gorgeously shot and beautifully acted, Les Destinees is, in its quiet, epic way, daring, inventive and refreshingly unusual.

    Meet the Parents
    A funny and sometimes substantial movie that in real life would never have a happy ending.

    L.I.E.
    An achievement of accomplished filmmaking and superb acting, L.I.E. puts you in the tough spot of unraveling how you feel about what you've viewed.

    Space Cowboys
    An affable, entertaining and poignant experience of the sort not normally afforded by space movies.

    DysFunktional Family
    Gallo makes some fatal mistakes in his direction. As Griffin talks, he adds sound effects that are distracting and annoying. It's actually an insult to the comic -- as if his jokes aren't clever enough on their own.

    Someone Like You...
    Surprisingly bland even within its dubious genre of "chick flick."

    Marcel Proust's Time Regained
    Once you lose yourself in Ruiz's stunning achievement -- a wonderfully acted, beautifully realized vision of Proust -- you'll be enchanted.
    • 72 Metascore

    Aimee & Jaguar
    It's a first love story that goes beyond many simplistic notions as to why people fall for one another. If it weren't true, no one would believe it.

    Kissing Jessica Stein
    Westfeldt becomes irritating. That's one of the film's points, but it's made a little too well.
