    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea

    • 66 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    At once noble and naive, earnest and a tad obnoxious.

    • 72 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Although its tone is generally genial and jovial, Good Hair touches on some tricky issues, at times complicitly.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Rife with nightmarishly violent and horrific behavior. It's intense, graphic, frightening.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Greenberg, with Stiller's sad and self-mocking portrait at its core, is well worth getting to know.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea

    • 88 Steven Rea
    An entertaining, occasionally illuminating autodocumentary.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    This is a sad, passionate, beautifully wrought story, and Bardem's portrait of Arenas is at once daring and deeply moving.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Lord knows how Holofcener got the performance she did out of Goodwin, but the child actor's Annie, rude and unmanageable, is an extraordinarily rich and complicated figure.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Ozon has crafted a near-perfect film, a mournful, moving kind of cinema poetry.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    With the filmmaking techniques pared to the bone, it is left to the actors to bring the scenes alive - and they do, often brilliantly.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    A romantic comedy for anyone in love with the movies, and anyone, for that matter, who's in love.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Charming is such an overused, film critic-y designation, but The Way Home is that, and more.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    With deft and subtle performances and an uncomplicated but savvy script, Autumn Tale gets to the inner lives of its characters.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Rife with dark humor, Little Otik presents a cautionary variation of the creation myth, and a warning that tampering with the natural order of things may not be such a wise idea.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Odd, and awkward in places, but its lyricism and power stay with you.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    You can feel the world closing in, which, I would venture, is exactly how Fassbinder wanted you to feel.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Thoughtfulness and artistry ...raise this small, quiet picture to moments of pure epiphany.
    • 70 Metascore

    A sweet but unsticky comedy from Norway that was one of the five foreign- language nominees at this year's Academy Awards.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    An extraordinarily perfect little film: A bittersweet drama that explores sexuality and love, and their reverberations across the landscape of human emotions.

    • 88 Steven Rea
    Made in a forthright, unfancy style and utilizing a cast of born naturals, Washington Heights deftly draws parallels between father and son's complicated relationship and the tensions that pulse through this predominantly Dominican American community.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    At once guileless and profound.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Kinetic and kooky, with a climactic shoot-out at a rail station that's daring in its ridiculousness.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    A super-taut and superbly acted three-character piece.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Rea
    Remains rooted in the real world, which makes its story all the more satisfying -- and chilling.
