	" The slow-moving, fractured tale is told in flashbacks that seamlessly mingle with the present, making for confusing if gorgeous viewing." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 9, 2009	Tracing Cowboys (2009)	n/a
	" When the film narrows its focus from big questions addressed through overly broad strokes and instead zooms in on one-on-one interactions and the emotional power of a well-made musical sequence, it taps into a winning sweetness and poignancy." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 11, 2008	Were the World Mine (2008)	67%
	" The emotionally bruised air that�s frequently made Kim Basinger tabloid fodder is also a defining characteristic of her acting style." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 11, 2008	While She Was Out (2008)	50%
	" Dortch�s manipulation of stereotype and the associations embedded in everything from skin tone to music set him apart as a talent to watch." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Dec 4, 2008	A Good Day to Be Black and Sexy (2008)	n/a
	" A sometimes terrifying, sometimes wildly amusing and occasionally flat interpretation of Soseki's tales by a who's who of Japanese film�makers." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 21, 2008	Ten Nights of Dreams (2008)	80%
	" Crowley, his cast and the script constantly reveal new layers to the characters, preventing simple labels like 'hero' or 'villain.' These people are all cringingly human." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 24, 2008	Boy A (2008)	89%
	" A charming, illuminating portrait of the complex and storied queer romance between Isherwood and Bachardy." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 3, 2008	Chris & Don: A Love Story (2007)	94%
	" Director Michael Skolnik�s generically crafted documentary on the precarious conditions of Swaziland, last functioning monarchy in Africa, is a curious mixture of banality and revelation." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 19, 2008	Without the King (2008)	94%
	" Where writer-director Bethany Ashton really excels is in capturing the complex dynamics of small-town life." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 13, 2008	Little Chenier (2006)	60%
	" What you ultimately take from the film is the awareness that this smart, self-aware, uncensored kid has been playing to a camera in his own head since well before Venditti came along." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 7, 2008	Billy The Kid (2007)	85%
	" A beguiling comedy from a Marxist-inflected thesis that is filled with characters who rage against the machine with pessimism, optimism, and naïveté—sometimes in rotation." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 4, 2007	Looking For Cheyenne (2007)	n/a
	" The Caltech Beavers are a surprisingly charming group of overachievers who prove to have as much heart on the court as they do brains in the classroom." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 1, 2007	Quantum Hoops (2007)	80%
	" *The breezy tone and obvious fun being had by the cast make Finishing the Game* a slight, low-key cool cinematic essay on identity politics.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Oct 25, 2007	Finishing the Game (2007)	35%
	" Rape of Europa is a history lesson dressed as a measured thriller." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 27, 2007	The Rape Of Europa (2007)	79%
	" *Writer-director Jamie Babbit�s follow-up to But I�m a Cheerleader, while flawed and in need of at least one more script overhaul, is smarter, funnier and more accomplished than its predecessor." -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Sep 27, 2007	Itty Bitty Titty Committee (2007)	38%
	" The cast comprises some of the most beautiful people on Earth. In fact, the chance to see the still impossibly sexy [Sonia] Braga in action almost makes the whole exercise worthwhile." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 20, 2007	Sea of Dreams (2005)	33%
	" The acting is fine enough to slowly pull the viewer in, making you care just a bit how it all turns out." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 23, 2007	In a Day (2006)	n/a
	" A sobering, engrossing film that raises a red flag on a criminal class that is being created for corporate profit." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 21, 2007	Prison Town, USA (2007)	n/a
	" Rock the Bells [ends] on a high note, but in a minor chord of sadness." -- L.A. Weekly Posted May 3, 2007	Rock the Bells (2007)	83%
	" It�s gross-out fare of the highest caliber." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 12, 2007	Hair High (2006)	78%
	" *Shot on digital and layered with animated segments, performance footage and clips from Smith family home movies, Family Movie* unfolds with a gentle, justified confidence in the power of its subject.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Jan 19, 2007	Danielson: A Family Movie (2006)	43%
	" *Where Snow Blind* dazzles is in its generous serving of performance footage: Watching the devoted soar through the air, flipping and spinning with near-balletic skill, takes your breath away.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Dec 8, 2006	Snow Blind (2006)	20%
	" Neither Biraben's script nor his direction leave room for doubt as to how he feels about the nightmarish past, but he's smart enough to know that even justified outrage sometimes has to be tempered with the complexities of human intentions and realities." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 23, 2006	Cautiva (2005)	67%
	" What pulls the viewer in (aside from the charismatic real-life family playing the roles) is the film's compassionate, empathetic perspective." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 16, 2006	Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006)	88%
	" *In showing all the stuff that the History Channel discreetly edits out, Excellent Cadavers* dismantles the celluloid romanticizing of the Mafia.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Oct 26, 2006	Excellent Cadavers (2006)	77%
	" An often infuriating (and excruciating) film to watch, but one that gets to the root of the despair that now plagues so much of the African continent." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 28, 2006	King Leopold's Ghost (2006)	91%
	" One of those all-too-rare films that handle preadolescent queerness with intelligence and unflinching honesty." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 28, 2006	The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (2006)	88%
	" [MacDonald's] subjects -- former black chorus girls from Harlem's golden age, when the Cotton Club and the Apollo Theater ruled New York nightlife -- are utterly captivating." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 28, 2006	Been Rich All My Life (2006)	78%
	" An illuminating, infuriating document that paints McKinney as a true American heroine and patriot and confirms your worst fears about just how rotten our 'democratic' process is at its core." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 7, 2006	American Blackout (2006)	75%
	" It�s a mildly enjoyable romp." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 17, 2006	Psychopathia Sexualis (2006)	23%
	" Elevated by fantastic performance footage of Sa and his young prot�g�s singing, dancing and rhythmically banging on cans, plastic bottles or anything else that can be fashioned into a drum -- and a cultural revolution." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Aug 3, 2006	Favela Rising (2006)	63%
	" It�s worth catching the film just for Sedaris� performance. Surrounded and sparked by all the show�s familiar characters (most played by the wonderful TV cast), she�s a marvel of inspired grotesqueness." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jul 6, 2006	Strangers With Candy (2006)	52%
	" Go for the dazzling, if repetitive, human stunt work. Endure the appallingly simplistic politics." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 1, 2006	District B13 (2006)	80%
	" ... visually beautiful, unforced essay on legacies of colonialism." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 27, 2006	The Devil's Miner (2006)	92%
	" *With elder-statesman words of wisdom from the man himself, Possibilities* celebrates an impulse that�s too rare in modern music: the love behind the labor of creation.*" -- L.A. Weekly* Posted Apr 13, 2006	Herbie Hancock: Possibilities (2006)	30%
	" Block Party puts Chappelle (who co-produced the movie) in the host position, and he�s very funny..." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Mar 3, 2006	Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)	92%
	" In unflinching terms, it captures the hellish existence endured by the many so that the few may wallow in privilege." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Feb 9, 2006	Darwin's Nightmare (2006)	92%
	" It's all very moving and uplifting. It's also exasperating." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jan 19, 2006	The Boys of Baraka (2005)	73%
	" The film is packed with fantastic archival footage." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 17, 2005	Gay Sex in the 70's (2005)	67%
	" It�s a full-throttle assault on sacred cows and social propriety, issued from a slyly molded persona of white-girl privilege and cocksure ignorance." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 10, 2005	Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005)	64%
	" Try though Greenwald might to not end things on a defeatist note, one observation from early in the film lingers: What Wal-Mart obliterates in small communities can never be replaced or regained." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Nov 3, 2005	Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005)	92%
	" A palpably heartfelt final scene between Dorian and his mom ends the tale on a powerful note." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 6, 2005	Dorian Blues (2005)	68%
	" A wise and moving coming-of-age tale." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 29, 2005	Garcon Stupide (2006)	52%
	" [The film] is most successful if viewed as a glossy video-log of a men�s trendy lifestyle photo shoot." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 22, 2005	Three Dancing Slaves (2005)	43%
	" It's not really original stuff, and there are few genuine surprises, but Painter skillfully layers visual details and off-the-cuff dialogue into a smart, condescension-free piece on small towns and the complicated lives they contain." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 22, 2005	Steal Me (2007)	44%
	" Beneath its tasteful fa�ade, Garcia�s documentary is actually nothing short of a pure horror film." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 15, 2005	The Future Of Food (2005)	84%
	" Make It Funky! is in many respects a stock item, but what gives the film newfound ache is the copious amount of time it spends on the streets with ordinary citizens." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Sep 8, 2005	Make it Funky! (2005)	93%
	" LaChapelle wisely avoids too much MTV-style quick-editing and camera trickery, letting the kids dazzle on the strength of their talent." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Jun 23, 2005	Rize (2005)	83%
	" An enjoyable ride." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 28, 2005	The Man Who Copied (2005)	65%
	" This film puts a pained human face on the cost of the corporate status quo." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Apr 14, 2005	The Take (2004)	89%
