    Army of Shadows
    Lino Ventura is grand as a solemn resistance leader. He's backed by a knockout cast that includes Simone Signoret.
    • 97 Metascore

    4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
    It is filmmaking as it should be but usually isn't.
    • 94 Metascore

    Carlos
    Carlos is exciting entertainment, even if its subject's two-decade reign of terror is reprehensible.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Days of Being Wild (re-release)
    Days of Being Wild is less accomplished than later Wong efforts like Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love, but it's smart filmmaking nevertheless. [19 Nov 2004, p.46]

    Werckmeister Harmonies
    While Tarr's newest epic, Werckmeister Harmonies, isn't intended for the shopping-mall crowd, it is more viewer-friendly and will please adventurous moviegoers.

    35 Shots of Rum
    Denis -- who has called the film a tribute to the great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu -- keeps dialogue to a minimum as she delicately examines how immigration is changing the face of France.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Pulse
    Pleasantly free of blood and guts, with Kurosawa using instead the mighty power of suggestion to give Pulse an invigorating aura of menace.

    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Moolaadé
    A rousing indictment of a barbaric practice.
    • 90 Metascore

    La Commune (Paris, 1871)
    Daring and unique, La Commune makes perfect viewing for the Fourth of July, which commemorates America's own revolution.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Persepolis
    It is a vivid, at times heartbreaking, portrait of a life and a nation in crisis.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 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.

    Still Walking
    Koreeda, talented director that he is, never allows the story to sink into soap-opera melodrama, and he refrains from pointing fingers.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    The Tree
    Be warned: The Tree is slow-moving, but if given a chance, it will (pardon the pun) grow on you.

    I'm Going Home
    Veteran French star Michel Piccoli is superb as an aging actor named Gilbert Valence.

    Tulpan
    The acting and story are solid, but the real star of Tulpan is the gorgeous, never-ending landscape -- flat and arid, and home to camels, goats and lambs, and hearty people who live in tentlike yurts.

    Mafioso [re-release]
    Mafioso starts out as a comedy of manners before turning into a mob thriller that brings Nino to Bergen County, N.J. When he gets there, look for a man reading The Post on a street corner.

    Marooned in Iraq
    Eventually turns somber, with stark depiction of mass graves and suffering refugees. The final scene will break your heart.

    Nobody Knows
    Kore-eda presents the deeply moving story in a documentary style that is both gentle and compelling.

    L'Enfant (The Child)
    It's expertly directed in a low-key, naturalistic way that brings to mind French auteur Robert Bresson. It's also emotionally forceful and contains heartbreaking performances.

    Poetry
    Poetry, which rightfully won the best-screenplay prize at Cannes, never resorts to exploitation. Under Lee's guidence, it is a mature film for mature audiences.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 100 V.A. Musetto
    Russian Ark
    The result is a magnificent feast for the eyes and brain.
    • 87 Metascore

    Gomorrah
    The film's disclosure that Camorra money is involved with the reconstruction of New York City's Ground Zero will give viewers something to think about.
    • 87 Metascore

    Grizzly Man
    Herzog tries to make sense out of the blond-haired young man, who looked an awful lot like Kinski.

    Elena
    Nadezhda Markina is splendid as Elena, who speaks little but still manages to make her thoughts and emotions crystal clear.

    Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    Perplexing but pleasing.

    Ferlinghetti: A Rebirth of Wonder
    ‘A brave man and a brave poet.” That’s Bob Dylan talking about Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet, painter, publisher, anarchist, civil libertarian — in this lively documentary by Christopher Felver.

    Over the GW
    One reason it rings true is because the script is based on Gaglia's real experiences.
