Critic Reviews for Movies
The Other Side of the StreetCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
A mystery that isn't suspenseful so much as realistic, in which the detective's motivation is understandable and the story moves the way life does, instead of as a thrill ride.
The Best of YouthCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
All the pieces converge in a powerful rush during the second half.
Mail Order WifeCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
A remarkably smart and weird film, even if it's sad and sometimes difficult to watch, with jokes designed to make you cringe.
David Hockney: The Colors of MusicCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
Looking at the art and listening to the music is wonderful just on its own, but hanging out with Hockney is also a treat. He's a delightful companion.
Voices in WartimeCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
A moving documentary about poetry inspired by combat.
Raging DoveCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
Then everything went wrong, thanks to Middle East politics -- as the moving documentary Raging Dove shows.
Perlasca: The Courage of a Just ManCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
There are no end of tear-jerking moments in Perlasca, a well-made and heart-rending Italian "Schindler's List."
Dead & BreakfastCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
A goofy, low-budget, predictable and totally entertaining Z-grade splatter-comedy, which deserves a long life (or, should we say, undeath) on the college midnight-movie circuit.
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the RoomCritic ScoreRussell Scott Smith
75
The story is fascinating, infuriating and even laugh-out-loud funny at times.
