Fraulein works by an accumulation of details.

Never very frightening, but it's clever and fun, with a memorable amount of humor and gore.

Love and basketball -- if you like either one, here is a movie for you.

A tearjerker that earns its sobs with heartfelt emotions.

Snags on the fact that neither story depicted -- not Kaufman's and especially not Orlean's -- is enough to sustain more than an incidental interest.

It’s moving but not maudlin, and there’s humor in addition to compassion.

An amusing bauble.

True to the loose, funky spirit of the artists and their work.

Deep Cover is a sleazy crime picture and a peculiar and twisted moral journey. It's also a terrific movie, and once you trace its lineage you begin to see why.[15 Apr 1992, p.E1]

The most lethal weapon is de Armas herself. She twirls through “Ballerina” with a bone-crunching tenacity. Her and the stunt team more than earned their pay with every kick, chop, punch and glass-smashing body hurl.

A nice little holiday movie.

Dead Man plays a lot of cards at the same time, and Jarmusch occasionally loses his rhythm when he allows his actors their improvisational riffs.

Graceful compositions and slow, easy pacing.

The film holds us rapt not through narrative suspense but through the eerie and demanding spectacle of profound moral courage, of a powerless good person in collision with absolute evil.

The Instigators is unremarkable but consistently amusing, and makes you feel like everyone showed up at the set expecting a party.

A nonstop action picture with a fair amount of laughs, car chases and exploding buildings. [15 May 1992]

This is an important movie, but it’s not a perfect one. It has one enormous flaw, and it’s a testament to the smartness of the writing and the inherent fascination of its viewpoint that it doesn’t wreck the experience: Director Justin Simien doesn’t know how to shape scenes or pull performances from his actors.

The real acting laurels go to Klein, who is both an adult and a child - by turns smart and not so smart, brave and fearful, caring and full of disdain.

When you finally stop laughing, there is something to think about.

Both revealing and evasive.

One of the year's funniest acts of malice.

"Alita” is an action movie, and some of that is who-cares. But the bigger thing about this film is that it makes us think about humanness, what it means, what it is, and what it might be in the future.

Dunye's engaging personality quickly wins you over. She deserves to be a character in a movie; she's more interesting than most.

Offers a thrilling, informative history of a sport-subculture.

The visuals are excellent, featuring a refreshingly small dose of forced cuteness, and plenty of the animals' natural movements.

Delightful.

A smooth, elegiac mood piece.

The Devil All the Time is really a portrait of a place, told through the lives of several people across a span of about a dozen years, and the thing that makes it interesting — from start to finish — is that this place is so brutal and appalling and unexpected in its various cruelties that we cannot stop watching.
