    An illuminating depiction of Islamic women that is entirely at odds with what we are often lead to believe.
  1. Whether this riot of unrepentant trashiness strikes you as tediously ridiculous or brainlessly amusing is probably a matter of mood.
  2. Often technically rough, but it's painfully compelling.

    Shot for next to nothing, Buck's film features some lovely cinematography, two strong performances from newcomers Monda and Kelly, and a funny bit by Nancy Daly as Roberta's sweet 'n' sour boss.
  3. Watching this string of sketches about small town wackos is like channel surfing a heavy sitcom zone.

    Thoughtful look at the itinerant street musicians of Paris.

    It begins with a stale Hitler joke and ends with a miraculous quick-save that demonstrates just how poorly the Holocaust is served by the life-affirming requirements of Hollywood features.
  4. It's an amiable enough picture, and genuinely insightful about the emotional appeal of devoted fandom.
  5. The air of low-budget Eurotrash is unmistakable. Almost everybody has an unidentifiable accent.
  6. Deftly mixes rueful sentimentality and trenchant observations about the constantly shifting balance of power that drives relationships.

    Odd yet thoughtful romantic comedy.
  7. This modest little moral thriller is a pleasant surprise.
  8. A lovely homage to a charismatic star.
  9. The performances are uneven and the loosely structured story never actually goes anywhere.
  10. Visually stunning and breathtakingly frank, but thrill-seekers beware.
  11. The weighty themes of loss, regret and abdication of personal responsibility are undermined by the reverential use of baseball as a symbol of mankind's potential for selfless greatness.
  12. It's a dumb movie, but it's good for a few profoundly undemanding laughs.
  13. The aroma of hagiography is unavoidable.
  14. Handsomely photographed and acted...defiantly old-fashioned testament to the power of love.
  15. Vonnegut's brand of juvenile surrealism...doesn't age especially well...but it could hardly be worse served than to be brought to the screen with such ham-fisted literal-mindedness.

    Fascinating on a number of levels, and deeply disturbing through and through.

    Characteristically stylish and willfully outre, and uncharacteristically watchable.

    Not much happens in this gentle-hearted, black-and-white film from Argentina, but it's what doesn't happen that makes it such an unusually satisfying experience.
  16. Black comedy of the deepest, richest darkness laid over an aching meditation on the atrophy of dreams.
  17. The banality of faceless evil isn't actually all that compelling on the hoof; the film's more interesting as a curiosity than as a film.
  18. Overall the film is a stylish lark with no resonance, a mean-spirited one-night stand of a movie.
  19. Has a sour undertone that strangles its cheap laughs.

    Director Mike Barker has delivered a film that proves there's life left in the old genre yet, and does so with style, intelligence and surprisingly little violence.

    A wild, endlessly inventive romp set in a post-war world so full of machine-guns and hand-grenades that people barely flinch when one or the other goes off.
