    Morning Sun
    It's scary to see how one man can brainwash a gigantic nation, as Mao did.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 V.A. Musetto
    Acts of Worship
    Occasionally becomes melodramatic.

    Shall We Kiss?
    Features crisp dialogue and understated humor, played out by an attractive young cast. Audiences bred on Hollywood romances might find the film too chatty and contemplative. To them I say: Get over it, kids!

    Standing by Yourself
    It accurately reflects the rage and alienation that fuels the self-destructiveness of many young people.

    Billy the Kid
    In her directorial debut, Venditti does her best to keep a distance between herself and her subjects. But you have to wonder how much of the Billy we see on-screen is affected by the presence of Venditti's camera.

    The Children of Huang Shi
    Beautiful but boring.

    Nights and Weekends
    This movie belongs to its stars, who also wrote and produced. You can't say their acting is good or bad because they are not really acting. They're just being themselves, pubic hair and all.

    Mad Love
    Pleasing to the eye, with lavish sets, ravishing costumes and two great-looking stars. Unfortunately, there is little else to recommend this overwrought, melodramatic bodice-ripper.

    Marebito (The Stranger from Afar)
    An outrageous horror flick.
    • 70 Metascore

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

    AKA
    Watching three frames at once is disconcerting at first, but eventually the experience gives the film a high-tech boost.

    The Maid
    Silva's script has the ring of truth, not surprising since he based it on real-life experiences. He even shot most of the scenes in his own family's house.
    • 85 Metascore

    Turtles Can Fly
    This isn't a war movie. Rather, it's a powerful, heart-tugging portrait of the innocent victims of conflict.

    Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat
    Make no mistake: Casuistry isn't easy to watch. Cat lovers might be especially turned off. But Asher had every right to make it, and you have every right to see it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 63 V.A. Musetto
    The Hidden Blade
    Bears more than a passing resemblance in story and form to "The Twilight Samurai," but stands on its own as a pleasant, if unremarkable, romance.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    The Sleepy Time Gal
    Too-convenient coincidences hurt the movie's credibility. A melodramatic script best left to cable TV doesn't help, either.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 63 V.A. Musetto
    Safe Conduct
    Loving but overlong meditation on movies and the people who make them.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    The Pinochet Case
    A riveting documentary.

    The Witnesses
    They should hand out a score card with every ticket to The Witnesses to help viewers keep track of who's sleeping with whom.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    A Secret
    The fractured timeline covers five decades, which Miller weaves together, with the past shot in color and the present in black and white. Still, the soapy climax is unnecessary.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    Tying the Knot
    The subject is worth exploring - unfortunately, de Seve does so in a cut-and-dried manner that never explains why these two couples were able to stay together for so long.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 38 V.A. Musetto
    Appleseed
    Lackluster anime.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    A Hole in My Heart
    A Hole in My Heart will disgust many (probably most) viewers as it cements Moodysson's reputation as one of today's most daring filmmakers.
