2/4	" The Tiger's Tail, like Cassandra's Dream, prominently features a boat that is both symbol of financial attainment and emotional ruin; it also finds a master filmmaker defying the "show, don't tell" principle with almost crippling cynicism." -- Slant Magazine Posted Dec 24, 2008	The Tiger's Tail (2006)	0%
1.5/4	" *One reacts to Joel Hopkins's Last Chance Harvey* with about the same level of revulsion directed at its titular character by the people around him.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Dec 20, 2008	Last Chance Harvey (2008)	74%
	" The film's calculatingly minimalist style is in many ways as affected as all the gay Amerindie films at which writer-director Yen Tan snottily thumbs his nose." -- Village Voice Posted Dec 3, 2008	Ciao (2008)	36%
2.5/4	" Never feels philosophically uncommitted, nor does it scan as neo-colonialist exploitation." -- Slant Magazine Posted Dec 2, 2008	Dust (2008)	75%
3/4	" Clearly Van Sant struggled to deliver something as conventional as he has, but if his visual digressions aren't exactly subversive, they affect a feeling of angst that's very much in sync with the time period depicted in the film." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 24, 2008	Milk (2008)	92%
2/4	" Quaintly shot and paced, not unlike Shotgun Stories, but insanely over-written, Lake City dumps on audiences a plot that consists of 500-some-odd puzzle pieces that all come together exactly as you expect." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 16, 2008	Lake City (2008)	8%
3/4	" The material has been playfully updated, made into a parable of gay desire and wish fulfillment, but its significance remains the same, right down to Timothy's understanding that free will must ultimately be restored." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 16, 2008	Were the World Mine (2008)	67%
2.5/4	" The end result not only constitutes an uncomfortable--dare I say, inorganic--collusion of fact and fiction but also suggests we're being indoctrinated into a cult." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 10, 2008	The Beautiful Truth (2008)	46%
	" The film never quite recovers from writer-director Damian Harris's dithering way of shooting things." -- Village Voice Posted Nov 5, 2008	Gardens of the Night (2008)	58%
2/4	" Director Mijke de Jong employs a fractured style to match the personalities of its characters, but this synchronicity isn't so much heartfelt as it is solipsistic." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 4, 2008	Stages (2008)	50%
1.5/4	" Give me torture porn any day." -- Slant Magazine Posted Nov 2, 2008	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	30%
1.5/4	" *Without its weirdo visual flourishes, The Guitar* would be completely reprehensible.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Nov 2, 2008	The Guitar (2008)	33%
2/4	" Issues of class don't matter to the filmmakers, who pride above all else Fandila's justifications for what he does, romanticizing the possibility of his dying while giving the bulls he dances with the shaft." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 26, 2008	The Matador (2008)	80%
1.5/4	" Balthazar's aesthetic is ugly, aloof, maddeningly literal and unimaginative." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 19, 2008	Ben X (2008)	62%
2/4	" *In the end, it probably doesn't matter if you think Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie* is in fact a documentary, because the film's psychoanalysis is dull and reductive.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Oct 15, 2008	Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie (2008)	n/a
2/4	" All that's missing from this Edenic scenario is Cyndi Lauper belting "Living High and Mighty."" -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 11, 2008	Tru Loved (2008)	35%
2.5/4	" Scraggly and aimless, a little cartoonish but highly personable." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 11, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	28%
2/4	" The film means well, but it's hardly cutting, made notable only by Bernett's performance." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2008	Breakfast with Scot (2008)	50%
	" Fireproof stops becoming relatable to us all and only to the already, or easily, indoctrinated." -- L.A. Weekly Posted Oct 3, 2008	Fireproof (2008)	39%
2/4	" Changeling announces itself as an autopsy of an expansive body of lies that it never actually performs, and as such the surprisingly graceless and phony aesthetic is what lingers most." -- Slant Magazine Posted Oct 2, 2008	Changeling (2008)	59%
1/4	" Essentially the equivalent of a news story where the facts are still forthcoming." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 29, 2008	Bullet in the Head (2008)	n/a

2/4	" A more interesting expos� would have elaborated on the dreams of film schoolers and how Singer's ostensibly privileged upbringing gives him an advantage few in his league ever get." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 21, 2008	Unspooled (2008)	n/a
2.5/4	" As fabulous, scraggly, tough-minded, star-eyed and conflicted as the queen it documents." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 21, 2008	The Amazing Truth about Queen Raquela (2008)	44%
	" You may appreciate the ballsy critique of a nation's callous obsession with development and reconstruction." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 17, 2008	Taking Father Home (2008)	n/a
	" Tarr struggles to adapt to an outmoded genre and, in the end, produces his least personal work to date." -- Village Voice Posted Sep 17, 2008	The Man from London (2008)	63%
3/4	" This gangly brunette is bananas, and the music on the soundtrack is perfectly in sync with her kooky mode of social expression, so that she suggests Mary Pickford as well as Polly Jean Harvey." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 15, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
2/4	" Argues that nearly 60,000 United States armed forces wouldn't have lost their lives in Vietnam had John F. Kennedy not been assassinated. Duh." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 15, 2008	Virtual JFK (2008)	79%

1/4	" A kissing cousin of Todd Field and Todd Solondz, Ball suffocates audiences with a guttersniping view or suburban life, a Haggassian act of exploitation that misrepresents even the most fundamental modes of human interaction." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	47%
2/4	" Director Paul Krik would prefer if we all compared his feature-length debut to the practically minimalist The Parallax View, but Able Danger is really a hipster version of Soderbergh's inane The Good German." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 7, 2008	Able Danger (2008)	40%
2.5/4	" The Pool conveys a sense of having been made, not found, but Smith avoids mawkishness and has an ear for how young people speak and relate to one another." -- Slant Magazine Posted Sep 2, 2008	The Pool (2008)	97%
	" My Mexican Shivah kvetches its way through an insipid vision of cross-cultural conflict." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 30, 2008	My Mexican Shivah (2008)	43%
	" This mincing bad time is built entirely around shrill pop-culture references." -- Village Voice Posted Aug 27, 2008	Another Gay Sequel (2008)	21%

2/4	" *For artistic representation, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer* gets a near-perfect score, less so for its restrained sense of fun.*" -- Slant Magazine* Posted Aug 10, 2008	Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008)	64%
1/4	" Vicky Cristina Barcelona is basically the most arrogant film of the year, an occasion for Allen to feign interest in challenging heteronormic ideals when all he's doing is advancing a simplified view of female sexual agency." -- Slant Magazine Posted Aug 9, 2008	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	82%
3/4	" The Spanish director gives an almost Wongian expression to the way people seduce one another." -- Slant Magazine Posted Aug 3, 2008	Elegy (2008)	73%

3/4	" Man on Wire becomes a thrilling study in contrast, succeeding not only at extolling Philippe's superhuman performance but attesting to the achievements of those who similarly defied death to give the man the stage he walked on." -- Slant Magazine Posted Jul 21, 2008	Man On Wire (2008)	100%
