  1. Those confessionals can and should deliver an emotional wallop; however, Sara Colangelo’s direction isn’t skillful or nuanced enough to give the scenes power. The speeches from actors, such as Laura Benanti, about the worst day in all of these people’s lives feel too rehearsed and polished for us to believe them.
  2. Brief and timely, this documentary directed by Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia is also frustrating.
  3. If Ruby were more of a person than a character, we might care more for her plight. But like Calvin, Kazan has written herself into a corner that can only lead to embracing the sappy romantic clichés that Ruby Sparks tries half-heartedly to mock.
  4. A rousing, garage-band-style documentary.
  5. It’s an entertaining melodrama of the old school that plays out with the clockwork inevitability of a “Columbo” episode.
  6. I've seen Demonlover twice and still find the plot a challenge. I'd try again if I thought it would help.
  7. It’s a lot of fun . . . until it becomes a mystery thriller so convoluted and tonally wacky, Angela Lansbury would have quit in a huff.
  8. Time to Leave just might be Ozon's best work yet. He tackles a sensitive, off-putting subject with a dignity that will put viewers at ease. Poupaud connects as the dying man and Moreau is - Moreau, a French national treasure.
  9. You won't soon forget it -- if you have the guts to see it.
  10. Well worth seeing for its acting and its tempting cinematography. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to book a vacation in Cobh.
  11. Banal at the beginning and preposterous at the close, the British horror film Kill List jumbles together wildly incongruous ingredients to create a dramatic mush.
  12. Both boys are good, and Kyle MacLachlan gives a tender turn as Franky’s gay dad. But the sheer amount of issues shoved in here is overpowering.
  13. It’s an impressive first effort from Kravitz that, like the island and the women, immediately has us in its grip.
  14. Paints a vivid portrait of a compelling young man but, perhaps inevitably, goes overboard on the deification.
  15. A mashup of Nick Hornby and Martin Scorsese? Why not?
  16. Even if you've never ridden a skateboard or had any interest in people who do, you'll get a kick out of Stacy Peralta's documentary Bones Brigade: An Autography.
  17. The stunning visuals in DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 3 surpass the high standards set by its predecessors, but storywise, the latest adventures of goofy Po the panda break no new ground.
  18. A physically impressive, well-acted, sometimes emotionally powerful - and mostly apolitical - re-creation of that awful day that has some conservative pundits praising Stone as some sort of born-again patriot.
  19. Perhaps faithful to the spirit of the man, but frustrating if you’re actually curious about the facts.
  20. Serves as a primer on a musical style that may be unfamiliar to many, while putting a human face on the problem of illegal immigrants.
  21. Almost without exception, the men are either sickening deviants or wise mentors while the ladies tend to be kickboxing hipsters or victims of sexual abuse (many are both).
  22. The documentary Darfur Now proves that - no matter how im portant the subject matter - following various people around with a camera doesn't necessarily make a film.
  23. A sickening horror parable disguised as a comedy of mores, the Netherlands’ Borgman is a rarity: a genuinely shocking, upsetting movie.
  24. It's rather sweet and life-affirming, although the transformation from sophisticate to peasant happens too conveniently and quickly.
  25. Stieve and Glosserman may yet strike a vein: This thing screams out for a Hollywood remake with, say, writers from "The Simpsons."
  26. An '80s coming-of-age comedy with more energy than ideas.
  27. A star is born in In Good Company, which showcases Topher Grace.
  28. Written and directed with compassion by Noah Buschel, the film is a low-key chamber piece better suited to television. But don’t let its restraint fool you: As unshowy as it is, The Phenom has an impressive collection of tools.
  29. Fairly suspenseful.
  30. I hope they have shrinks in remote Nepal, because this kid is going to need one. P.S.: The scenery is awesome.
