Mini-Review: Excellent performances and high tension and just a little too much self-congratulation throughout for bucking stereotypes.
Mini-Review: A remarkable performance by Swinton in a beautifully (and horrifyingly) created world by Ramsay.
Mini-Review: A hilarious and surprisingly un-claustrophobic adaptation of the play. Foster and Winslet turn in especially excellent performances.
Mini-Review: Amazing performances fill an amazingly envisioned--if unapologetically depressing--world.
Mini-Review: A well-made but ultimately slow-moving 'thriller.'
Mini-Review: The schmaltziest, best-shot film of the year.
Mini-Review: A well-acted comedy that's both adult and thoughtful. A rarity.
Mini-Review: An impeccably made and acted film.
Mini-Review: Everyone is so full of wonder in this film that no one stops to recognize how boring it is.
Mini-Review: A well-made but uneven film. An ode to the movies as well as to cheesiness.
