    Elite Squad: The Enemy Within
    A crackling musical score and eye-popping cinematography add to the nonstop ferocity, and Wagner Moura is charismatic as the head of the titular police unit.

    The Boys of Baraka
    Seventy percent of black boys in Baltimore do not graduate from high school. They're more likely to land in jail -- or a cemetery. But there is hope, according to The Boys of Baraka, an uplifting documentary.

    Games of Love and Chance
    A work of drama, it's more realistic than any TV reality show.

    The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector
    The film casts Spector in a sympathetic light. You can't help feeling sorry for the tormented genius.

    Double Dare
    It shows the hardship that women -- especially older women -- must endure in a male-dominated business.

    The Motel
    Michael Kang makes an impressive feature directorial debut with The Motel. But the person to keep an eye on is Jeffrey Chyau, a student at the Bronx High School of Science, who is a delight in the lead role.

    Yossi & Jagger
    The lazy story takes on a passion and urgency that peaks in an emotional finale.

    The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros
    Preteen sexuality is a sensitive subject, but director Auraeus Solito handles it with dignity, never becoming exploitative.

    Empathy
    A mix of documentary and fiction, it demystifies the profession in delightful fashion.

    Bal
    A thoughtful and intelligent film, and should appeal to adventurous souls.

    The Last Circus
    The Last Circus features garish costumes, grotesque ultraviolence and plenty of other assorted weirdness. Although not everybody's glass of sangria, it has the making of a cult hit.

    The Fearless Freaks
    It could turn someone who never heard of the Flaming Lips into a devoted fan.

    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Ushpizin
    On paper, Ushpizin (Aramaic for "holy guests") looks like a hard sell. It works, however, thanks to a witty script and believable performances from real-life husband and wife.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 38 V.A. Musetto
    The Barbarian Invasions
    Schmaltzy and contrived.

    Passione
    The music is vibrant and the presentation is appealing.

    Tsotsi
    Ends in a cascade of sentimentality straight out of Hollywood. Not even Chweneyagae's excellent acting or Lance Gewer's dark photography can save the film.

    • 63 V.A. Musetto
    Lost Embrace
    The tedious film might have been worth watching if Burman had given reasons to care about Ariel or anyone else. He doesn't and we don't.
    • 52 Metascore

    She's One of Us
    The cryptic finale raises more questions than it solves. But She's One of Us is such a fine work that answers aren't necessary.

    Devils on the Doorstep
    A wild ride that effortlessly combines devilish dark humor, slapstick comedy, extreme violence and bitter satire.

    Warrior of Light
    Heartbreaking.

    Electric Shadows
    The Chinese pleaser Electric Shadows belongs to a genre they don't teach in film school: Triple S, as in sweet, sappy and sentimental.

    Blockade
    The surreal images lack narration and talking heads, which is no problem. In fact, the device makes the shocking footage more compelling.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    House of Sand
    Ricardo Della Rosa's sumptuous, wide-screen cinematography takes full advantage of the sandy vista, complementing beautiful acting by Montenegro and Torres.

    The Forsaken Land
    Sparse of dialogue and plot (think Andrei Tarkovsky), the import - named best first film at Cannes 2005 - has to do with Sri Lanka's unending civil war and it's devastating effect on residents of a barren no man's land.

    Waging a Living
    Weisberg is nonjudgmental, allowing his subjects to deliver the message that, for far too many people, the American dream is more of a nightmare.
