Winter Sleepers has many such breathtaking moments in which sounds and images synergize with an explosive precision.
80
Though it was made before "Run Lola Run," feels like the work of a more seasoned heart and mind.
75
A movie by a man who adores film and relishes its potential.
70
From its ominous opening to its spectacular climactic stunt, the hypnotic precursor to director Tom Tykwer's "Run Lola Run" is a quieter but creepier affair.
63
Characters are manipulated and lives made whole in ways both satisfying and unexpected.
58
It's slow and pretentious, full of craggy Bavarian snowscapes and dour "mystical" portents that seem to circle back to nothing but themselves.
50
A cold, emptily stylish exercise -- and one that sorely lacks the speed and vigor that made "Lola" run.
