With grace and cleverness, mixing romance and comedy in a genuinely delightful way.

Seeing it once is fine, but seeing it every day for the rest of your life is not recommended.

It's a lovely tribute to an extraordinary talent whose music might have been forgotten, and you really couldn't ask for a more beautiful soundtrack.

Thoroughly gripping.

One of the sharpest and emotionally resonant romantic comedies in what seems like years.

Brimming with ideas, aphorisms, diatribes, film clips and even bits of a story, the film's a gorgeous muddle that somehow manages to leave one both baffled and deeply satisfied.

Stephens has a gentle touch and an unflagging sense of humor, but this is Rue's show: She's a natural with a million-dollar smile who deserves to escape TV land for more interesting work.

This film pivots on a romantic triangle as overwrought as it is stylized. It's like a Douglas Sirk melodrama ratcheted up with fists of fury and wrapped in apparently endless yards of shimmering silk.

Beautifully shot and lushly scored, this may be one of the least P.C. love stories ever filmed. But it's one of the most deeply felt.

A brightly colored, picaresque adventure that's equal parts telenovela melodrama and pop-magic realism.

It's especially nice that all the songs on the soundtrack are heard in their entirety, even if the accompanying video footage is sometimes drawn from performances of different vintage.

Carpenter is trying for a satire of advertising and consumerism under late capitalism, and although the film is great fun at first--especially when depicting the world through Nada's glasses--it rarely rises above the intellectual level of a comic book.

This coolly beautiful film is both a superior thriller and an engrossing study of a sociopath's progress.

For once, Thompson turns in a gimmick-free performance, and the rest of the actors range from fine to fabulous. But the whole thing feels stolid and uninspired.

Harrowing but enormously empathetic.

Breillat also offers sharp insights into the love-hate relationship between directors and actors.

The story the film has to tell is an outrage, but it never devolves into a sputtering tirade.

Meanwhile Baldwin (bulked up a la DeNiro and playing totally against type), is a revelation, funny and touching.

Fanciful and highly entertaining docudrama.

An effectively macabre and fiendishly entertaining tale of lust, unrequited love and the fine art of taxidermy.

Grisly, yes, but it's all done in fun; having tried his hardest to shock audiences with his previous films, it now appears Miike simply wants to entertain, and he pulls out all the stops.

Figgis's bold narrative strategy turns what could have been a standard-issue chronicle of shallow Hollywood lives into a fluid and enthralling experience.

As complex as the issue it tackles.

Rough, breathless adaptation of Fernando Vallejo's ferociously sardonic novel.

This stylized tale of guilt and retribution is a surprisingly sleek and affecting drama.

The case is a convincing one, and should give anyone with a conscience reason to pause.

It's an old story, but at a time when high-school-aged athletes are wooed away from real-life with staggering, multi-million dollar endorsement deals, it's one that bears repeating.

Shot in grainy black and white, the film features tons of entertaining footage of the band in the studio as well as an enlightening commentary from music critics Greg Kot and David Frick.
