    It's ultimately a shallow effort.

    Perlasca: The Courage of a Just Man
    There are no end of tear-jerking moments in Perlasca, a well-made and heart-rending Italian "Schindler's List."

    Naked Fame
    This is ultimately a sunny movie full of likable characters.

    The Other Side of the Street
    A mystery that isn't suspenseful so much as realistic, in which the detective's motivation is understandable and the story moves the way life does, instead of as a thrill ride.

    Engaging, if sometimes obvious.

    A moving documentary about poetry inspired by combat.

    Lipstick & Dynamite, Piss & Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling
    Offers plenty of fun, nostalgic footage of 1950s pro lady wrestlers kicking butt.

    Dead & Breakfast
    A goofy, low-budget, predictable and totally entertaining Z-grade splatter-comedy, which deserves a long life (or, should we say, undeath) on the college midnight-movie circuit.

    Mail Order Wife
    A remarkably smart and weird film, even if it's sad and sometimes difficult to watch, with jokes designed to make you cringe.

    Sheriff
    An admirably realistic portrait of police life.

    The Best of Youth
    All the pieces converge in a powerful rush during the second half.

    The Boys & Girl from County Clare
    Isn't a total loss, but neither does it have the charm of "The Full Monty" or other feel-good indie Brit flicks it emulates.

    Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
    The story is fascinating, infuriating and even laugh-out-loud funny at times.

    Crazy Legs Conti: Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating
    There's a story here, but the film doesn't tell it.

    Raging Dove
    Then everything went wrong, thanks to Middle East politics -- as the moving documentary Raging Dove shows.

    Stalin's Wife
    Unless you're already into this stuff, it'll be hard to stay awake through the documentary, which was made on a low budget with technical values that are decidedly amateurish.

    Odessa... Odessa!
    Sometimes beautiful to look at but ultimately too poetic for its own good.

    David Hockney: The Colors of Music
    Looking at the art and listening to the music is wonderful just on its own, but hanging out with Hockney is also a treat. He's a delightful companion.

    In Satmar Custody
    Infuriating, but not for the reason filmmakers want it to be.
