A- 91% Maria Larssons eviga ögonblick (Everlasting Moments) (Maria Larsson's Everlasting Moment) (2009) " Troell's profound insistence that life -- even in its most miserable chapters -- is an occasion for rejoicing, goes beyond gender politics to a place of transcendent sublimity." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Posted Dec 12, 2008
B 78% Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived (2008) " Contrary to its title, Virtual JFK is less a counter-history of the Vietnam years than a tribute to John F.

Posted Dec 12, 2008

Posted Oct 2, 2008

Posted Sep 26, 2008
B- 82% XXY (2007) " Despite its sometimes creepy tentativeness, XXY succeeds as a meditation on gender and sexuality, one that refuses an easy answer to the question, 'Is it a boy or a girl?'" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted Sep 26, 2008
C+ 80% Ten Nights of Dreams (Yume jû-ya) (2006) " Followers of the new Japanese cinema will enjoy getting an early look at new styles by emerging talents, but these are essentially student films that are not likely to be embraced by the casual moviegoer." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer

C+ 65% The Universe of Keith Haring (2008) " Although first-time director Christina Clausen presents this era of bad art, bad music and boring celebrities without judging it, we can't help but feel we are witnessing the last party in the mansion of pop art before its imminent collapse." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Posted Sep 18, 2008

Posted Sep 11, 2008
B- 22% Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! (2008) " Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild is trash filmmaking at its best, which is still too low for those whose idea of slumming is a weekend with the Desperate Housewives box set." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Posted Aug 29, 2008
