Critic Reviews for Movies
Goodbye Lenin!Critic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
I don't claim to have seen every entry from around the world, but it's hard to imagine five better than this deliciously offbeat comedy, as wildly inventive as anything Billy Wilder ever conceived.
Knafayim ShvurotCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
Evokes grand emotions -- anxiety, sadness, joy -- sometimes within moments of one another. Broken Wings has heart and a poetic soul.
The Object of My AffectionCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
Much of that appeal comes from compelling performances by the two main actors.
IntermissionCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
A breed apart from anything coming off the Hollywood assembly line or, for that matter, from the saccharine romances Britain has lately produced.
The MotherCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
Daring in its affirmation that a dowdy woman in her late 60s still can let go of her inhibitions and exhibit a lascivious side.
The ClearingCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
The very best thrillers -- a select group to which The Clearing clearly belongs -- exploit subconscious fears that bubble up at vulnerable moments.
Maria Full of GraceCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
A revelatory independent film whose moments of incredible sadness are offset by the same state of grace that blesses its astonishing title character.
Deconstructing HarryCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
Woody Allen's strongest and most mordantly funny movie in years, even if it is also his bleakest.
Mean CreekCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
One of very few films to accurately portray the experience of growing up male.
Remember Me, My LoveCritic ScoreRuthe Stein
100
Often is on the verge of spilling over into melodrama, but that doesn't bother me because life is the same way.
