92/100	"There is one vital DVD feature those interested in understanding von Trier's approach won't want to miss." -- Apollo Guide Posted Apr 21, 2007	Dogville (2003)	70%
60/100	"Similar to most contemporary American feature-length animation, the film�s overall structure is frayed." -- Apollo Guide Posted May 13, 2005	Lilo & Stitch (2002)	86%
75/100	"To the film�s great credit, [director] Garbus evens out her often heavy-hand and we�re given the emotional core of two young female criminals in ways often eluded in the movies." -- Apollo Guide Posted May 13, 2005	Girlhood (2003)	94%
93/100	"Works as a brilliant piece of art, and entertainment." -- Apollo Guide Posted May 13, 2005	My Own Private Idaho (1992)	85%
81/100	"A sloppy but stylistically incendiary handling of mystery, thriller, suspense, doldrums-of-domestic-romance and labour fraternity tropes." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 16, 2003	El Leyton (2002)	55%
59/100	"*A fascinating story, with enough dramaturgical potential to make a rock take notice. Unfortunately, Shattered Glass* is an ignorant rock unto itself.*" -- Apollo Guide* Posted Nov 12, 2003	Shattered Glass (2003)	91%
76/100	"Cinematographer Edward Klosinki finds many an interesting place for his camera to doss and gurney � giving us a skulking psychoanalytical aesthetic." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 7, 2003	Gloomy Sunday (2003)	84%
84/100	"Much of this film plays to the audience�s subconscious, forced to deal with the spirals of perverse intertwinement." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 5, 2003	Sylvia (2003)	37%
75/100	"Garbus, here, gets at a portion of the metaphysical reality behind the veneer of criminal behaviour." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 30, 2003	Girlhood (2003)	94%
70/100	"A story of death-as-deus-ex-machina � where the contrivances are not so offensive � with interesting performances." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 24, 2003	A Wedding for Bella (2001)	55%
92/100	"A brilliant tale of intellectual awakening." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 15, 2003	Dogville (2003)	70%
75/100	"A valiant experiment in existential pathology gone tepid." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 8, 2003	Elephant (2003)	71%
92/100	"[E]gregiously misunderstood." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 8, 2003	Three of Hearts (1993)	69%

75/100	"Hanft captures the goosy, roach-of-a-joint lifestyle pressed upon fledgling musicians in underground circles of L.A. and other urban blights." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 2, 2003	Southlander - Diary of a Desperate Musician (2001)	50%
69/100	"The discursive nature of the information that is presented greets its audience like a plunged inert mass." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 24, 2003	Stealing the Fire (2002)	20%
60/100	"Said ingenuity is at times recursive in its chintzy pell-mell of images and superimpositions..." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 24, 2003	Seven Year Zigzag (2003)	50%
85/100	"*Harada fashions a socially mimetic picture of seedy street-hustler life a la My Own Private Idaho* and Olivier Assayas� Cold Water.*" -- Apollo Guide* Posted Sep 24, 2003	Bounce Ko Gals (1997)	53%
92/100	"Rhythm in Denis� sight is pejorative routine." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 24, 2003	Beau Travail (1999)	78%
80/100	"Costner�s epic, as director, is one to behold, not for its 24th hour sentimental about-face, but for the existential knack it has for the pacific, the stately and the quiet." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 18, 2003	Open Range (2003)	78%
89/100	"*The most rebelliously, subtly and subversively creative Woody Allen has been since Sleeper." -- Apollo Guide* Posted Sep 18, 2003	Anything Else (2003)	41%
90/100	"*The most sophisticated love story since In the Mood for Love, The House of Mirth* and The English Patient.*" -- Apollo Guide* Posted Sep 18, 2003	And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003)	47%
86/100	"Istvan Szabo uses his compositions-of-depth as a sort of excavation of the epistemological quandaries haunting the post-Second World War world." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 7, 2003	Taking Sides (2003)	77%
89/100	"One�s reception of the film as art depends solely on whether you see it as a sell-out or an inside joke that takes some time to assimilate." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 5, 2003	American Splendor (2003)	94%
77/100	"Frears has continually built on the foundation of Griffith�s A Corner in Wheat and Chaplin�s The Immigrant." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 4, 2003	Dirty Pretty Things (2003)	94%
45/100	"Gives glib critics something to horselaugh about." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 1, 2003	Camp (2003)	62%
78/100	"The swimming pool in the film, as depicted by Ozon, is a self-reflexive epicentre..." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 1, 2003	Swimming Pool (2003)	85%
65/100	"Catherine Hardwicke�s idea of context is the trite schematics of schoolyard popularity." -- Apollo Guide Posted Aug 30, 2003	Thirteen (2003)	82%
75/100	"An agoraphobic New Age." -- Apollo Guide Posted Aug 30, 2003	28 Days Later (2003)	88%
85/100	"A triumph of a movie � one that, despite a certain historical and emotional gloss, we can only hope gives us as real an account of horseracing as it appears." -- Apollo Guide Posted Aug 14, 2003	Seabiscuit (2003)	77%
2.5/4	"Beginning with Blue, straight through to White and Red, Kieslowski comes off like a deaf person trying, in fits of frustration, to communicate with the hearing." -- Long Island Press Posted Apr 26, 2003	Three Colors Trilogy (1993-1994)	100%
75/100	"There's a sort of magical realism, but in the vein of a low-budget Big or Groundhog Day, rather than Luis Bu�uel and Jan Svankmajer." -- Long Island Press Posted Apr 26, 2003	Returning Mickey Stern (2005)	31%
4/4	"An astounding investigation of the natural feud within us all: the confusion of wanting self-help, while simultaneously settling for self-complacency." -- Long Island Press Posted Mar 21, 2003	Open Hearts (2003)	96%
4/4	"...the imagery is one to marvel...There's a striking irony in much of what we see." -- Long Island Press Posted Mar 7, 2003	Nowhere in Africa (2003)	86%
3/4	"Most of Cronenberg's previous films are busy with corporeal matter�monsters or creatures�but with Spider, there's a sort of poetic singularity in that Fiennes rarely has actors to play off. The monster is his psyche, the way he interprets existence." -- Long Island Press Posted Feb 27, 2003	Spider (2003)	85%
2.5/4	"From a puritanical perspective, the genius that is the chronicle is undermined by the laxity of the execution." -- Long Island Press Posted Feb 7, 2003	Lost in La Mancha (2003)	94%
71/100	"A brand of entertainment that�s dissatisfying intellectually and formulaically." -- Apollo Guide Posted Feb 7, 2003	How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)	42%
3.5/4	"The pervasive use of staircases -- whether people are ascending or descending -- lends an interesting leitmotif of class and religious struggle." -- Long Island Press Posted Jan 29, 2003	Amen (2003)	67%
64/100	"Samira Makhmalbaf�s new film Blackboards is much like the ethos of a stream of consciousness, although, it�s unfortunate for the viewer that the thoughts and reflections coming through are torpid and banal" -- Apollo Guide Posted Dec 5, 2002	Blackboards (2002)	74%
61/100	"The film is a timorous, flailing attempt at docu-philosophy. Co-directors Danny Clinch and Sam Lee must have thought that desultory use of slow motion and quick-cuts can cover for aimlessness." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 27, 2002	Ben Harper - Pleasure and Pain (2002)	n/a
74/100	"[T]he film is never sure to make a clear point � even if it seeks to rely on an ambiguous presentation." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 15, 2002	Revolution No. 9 (2002)	76%
85/100	"Ratliff�s two previous titles, Plutonium Circus and Purgatory County show his penchant for wry, contentious configurations, and this film is part of that delicate canon." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 14, 2002	Hell House (2002)	94%
88/100	"The socio-histo-political treatise is told in earnest strides... [and] personal illusion is deconstructed with poignancy." -- Apollo Guide Posted Nov 1, 2002	American Experience - Daughter from Danang (2002)	97%
79/100	"Women take on a role of auxiliary endurance... the only character[s] to confront the camera head-on, in close up, or direct stares." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 26, 2002	Divine Intervention (2003)	81%
82/100	"Using his audience as a figurative port-of-call, Dong pulls his even-handed ideological ship to their dock for unloading, before he continues his longer journey still ahead." -- Apollo Guide Posted Oct 7, 2002	Arthur Dong: Family Fundamentals ()	75%
80/100	"Its primary benefits are held in a quark of arcane visual symbols and cultural criticism." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 10, 2002	Read My Lips (2002)	97%
80/100	"A deliberative account of a lifestyle characterized by its surface-obsession � one that typifies the delirium of post, pre, and extant stardom." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 3, 2002	Heartbreak Hospital (2002)	25%
60/100	"[Garbus] discards the potential for pathological study, exhuming instead, the skewed melodrama of the circumstantial situation." -- Apollo Guide Posted Sep 3, 2002	The Execution Of Wanda Jean (2005)	83%
85/100	"We get the romantic doom of [LaBute's] usual commentary, but this time with new filmic scope and multidimensionality." -- Apollo Guide Posted Aug 13, 2002	Possession (2002)	64%
72/100	"It�s a terrain that reverses the cultural value assigned to the low angle shot... but ultimately transforms the viscera of horror/ sci-fi cinema to a feckless point." -- Apollo Guide Posted Aug 3, 2002	Signs (2002)	74%
