    David Lynch: The Art Life
    For some viewers, it will be more than they want to know, but for Lynch’s many partisans, it’s required watching.

    Down Terrace
    It's hard to decide what's worse about this feral clan residing in Brighton, England: their unspecified criminal enterprises, their penchant for bloody vengeance or their twisted family dynamic.

    Cutie and the Boxer
    This elegant movie never reduces or diminishes its subjects, and leaves us to ponder a remarkable truth - that Ushio and Noriko have an abiding love that four decades of frustration, resentment and rivalry have battered but not extinguished.

    Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields
    Overall, this is a nice introduction to an amiably dour tunesmith who once wrote that "all art aspires to the condition of Top 40 bubblegum pop."
