Twenty-four hours in the lives of three young, wayward friends are chronicled in this impressive, low-budget charmer from Uruguay. Directors Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll follow the trio's drift through existence, which allows them time to ponder their state of chronic boredom, wax philosophic on life, and encounter a variety of bizarre characters.
Our Take:
It’s the Uruguayan Stranger Than Paradise. What more is there to say?
An unforgettable and shocking wake-up call, A CRUDE AWAKENING offers the rock-solid argument that the era of cheap oil is in the past. Relentless and clear-eyed, this intensively-researched film drills deep into the uncomfortable realities of a world that is both addicted to fossil fuels and blissfully unaware of the looming "peak oil" crisis.
Our Take:
As the expert talking heads calmly explain in this hair-raising doc, we’re about to reach peak production of oil, and that’s a potentially catastrophic event horizon. Think no air travel, for starters. Then mass starvation. Endless war for limited resources. And so on. Everyone knows it. So why doesn’t anyone have a plan? Consider this a wake-up call.
From the makers of Ray, Amazing Grace tells the inspiring story of William Wilberforce and his passion and perseverance to pass a law ending the slave trade in the late 18th century.
Our Take:
Michael Apted (helmer of the long-running Seven Up documentaryries) brings history to life in this rousing true-life story about 18th-century British abolitionist William Wilberforce. Wait, who? Well, exactly! And who knew “Amazing Grace” was written by a repentant slaveholder, played here by the magnificent Albert Finney?
As quietly provocative as its thoughtful protagonist, Steve Skrovan and Henriette Mantel's galvanizing documentary, AN UNREASONABLE MAN, examines how one of the 20th century's most admired and indefatigable social activists, Ralph Nader, became a pariah among the same progressive circles he helped champion.
Our Take:
Ralph Nader got tarnished as a “spoiler” in the 2000 presidential election. But many have forgotten his triumphant history as a tenacious public advocate, active since the 1960s. Is he a megalomaniac, as his enemies maintain, or a man utterly committed to principle above all else? Nader’s contradictions emerge in this fascinating docu-portrait.
Married for almost 50 years, Grant's (Gordon Pinsent) and Fiona's (Julie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering. Their daily life is filled with tenderness and humor; yet this serenity is broken by Fiona's increasingly evident memory loss - and her restrained references to a past betrayal. For a while, the couple is able to casually dismiss these unwelcome changes. ...
Our Take:
Remember Julie Christie, sex symbol of the 1970s? She’s still as talented as ever, and in this tender, heart-wrenching film, she delivers one of the finest performances of her career as a happily married Canadian woman suffering the ravaging effects of Alzheimer’s.
BABEL is the crowning achievement in the trilogy from the unstoppable creative pairing of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, which also includes AMORES PERROS (2000) and 21 GRAMS (2003). Building upon its predecessors’ method of weaving together disparate storylines, BABEL reaches new heights of ambition with a tale that, in the absence of traditional narrative and protagonist, ...
Our Take:
Director Iñarritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga have an uncommonly sophisticated rapport, first established in the films Amores Perros and 21 Grams. Here, they tie together the threads of a multicharacter story that spans the globe from Morocco to Mexico to San Diego, underscoring the myriad ways people do (and often tragically don’t) connect.
In a startling mature and nuanced performance, Parker Posey plays Nora Wilder, a thirty-something Manhattanite who is cynical about love and relationships, in this astute collaboration with first-time writer/director Zoe Cassavetes.
Our Take: See this film by the daughter of indie pioneer John Cassavetes for Posey’s fine performance as an unlucky-in-love career gal, as well as for smart supporting work by The Sopranos’ Drea De Matteo, fedora-clad Frenchman Melvil Poupaud, and the incomparable Gena Rowlands. Plus, Justin Theroux’s turn as a narcissistic actor nearly steals the show.
The award winning Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? is the inspiring story of a modern-day Mr. Smith's quixotic campaign to win the 2006 Missouri Democratic primary with little more than political savvy, tireless work, and passionate leadership over a committed group of grassroots volunteers that grows from a few friends to more than 500 by election day.
Our Take: Watch what happens when a feisty 29-year-old college instructor with a castrato-high voice and plenty of youthful idealism squares off against the son of a former governor who represents power, money, and the status quo. It’s an amusing gambit, but also deeply insightful about the state of American politics today.
Dan Klores' CRAZY LOVE tells the astonishing story of the obsessive roller-coaster relationship of Burt and Linda Pugach, which shocked the nation during the summer of 1959. Burt, a 32 year-old married attorney and Linda, a beautiful, single 20 year-old girl living in the Bronx had a whirlwind romance, which culminated in a violent and psychologically complex set of actions ...
Our Take: This is the ultimate tabloid story, studded with enough grotesque details to make today’s US Weekly cover stories look like innocent Disney fare. Burt and Linda are both candid about their lurid, high-rolling love affair in the 1950s that ended in a vicious, disfiguring attack, but that’s only the beginning of this weird tale of obsession. Crazy is right.
Our Take: At first glance, Father Ollie is a gentle, soft-spoken man, eloquently attempting to explain and express remorse for his three decades of crimes. But as Berg digs deeper and begins to speak with his victims, a shockingly different picture of this sanctimonious predator--and the Church authorities who protected him—begins to emerge. Harrowing stuff. Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush join Academy Award® nominee Clive Owen in a gripping historical thriller full of suspense, intrigue and adventure! When Queen Elizabeth's reign is threatened by ruthless familial betrayal and Spain's invading army, she and her shrewd advisor must act to safeguard to the lives of her people. Our Take: Cate Blanchett is enthralling whether she’s channeling Bob Dylan or putting on airs as a 16th-century English regent. Here, she reinvigorates her triumphant 1998 turn as the Virgin Queen, this time facing down a political conspiracy. Clive Owen pops up, too, as cocky explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, while the lamentably under-sung Samantha Morton breathes prideful fire into her imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots.> As Ann reflects on one beautiful and life-changing weekend with the one true love of her life, her daughters come to their own understanding about the power of the past and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters, family, and the loves of their lives. Our Take: Meryl Streep, Vanessa Redgrave, Claire Danes, and Glenn Close all put in good work in this classy weepie about a blue-blood family, sensitively adapted from Susan Minot’s novel by Michael Cunningham (The Hours). As Redgrave’s deathbed memories gently remind us, some of life’s mistakes aren’t worth regretting. Fay Grim, a single Mom from Woodside, Queens, is afraid her 14 year old son, Ned, will grow up to be like his father, Henry, who has been missing for seven years. Fay's brother Simon is serving ten years in prison for aiding in Henry's escape from the law. In the quiet of his cell, Simon has had time to ... Our Take: Leave it to New York sophisticate Hal Hartley to turn a spy thriller into another of his peculiar but entertaining exercises in poker-faced highbrow farce. Indie queen Parker Posey is lovably quirky as the globe-trotting housewife searching for her missing husband Henry, who may or may not be a casualty of CIA skulduggery. Director Amy Berg helms this shocking documentary, which looks at the activities of a priest named Oliver O'Grady. O'Grady had been identified by the Catholic church as a pedophile, but they allowed him to continue to work and molest children throughout the ...
When a meticulous structural engineer (Anthony Hopkins) is found innocent of the attempted murder of his wife (Embeth Davidtz), the young district attorney (Ryan Gosling) who is prosecuting him becomes a crusader for justice. Fracture is packed with twists and turns that weave in and out of the courtroom as the pair try to outwit each other.
Our Take: We loved Ryan Gosling as an urban schoolteacher with a baaad drug problem in Half Nelson. In this well-crafted courtroom thriller, he’s equally fetching as a morally conflicted attorney-on-the-rise trying to outwit murderous millionaire Hannibal…er, Anthony…Hopkins.
Shot in 16mm, Funny Ha Ha examines life after college in an understated and moving way. Focusing more on character than on plot, the film revolves loosely around Marnie (Dollenmayer), an attractive and intelligent young woman searching clumsily for some sense of purpose in what seems at times like an aimless life.
Our Take:
One of the key films of the so-called mumblecore movement, Bujalski’s tender-funny-awkward post-collegiate comedy of manners features a memorable performance from gawkish newcomer Kate Dollenmayer, as a hapless young woman looking for…something.
A man at the end of his emotional rope finally explodes, but not in a way anyone would have expected in this offbeat independent drama. Bob Maconel (Christian Slater) is a middle-aged nebbish working in an office building where few people know who he is and fewer still care. Bob has developed a seething hatred and resentment of those around ...
Our Take: Years ago, Slater’s role as a nerdy, would-be office shooter turned hero would have gone to angry white man Michael Douglas, but since this is a dark satire on the order of Office Space, Slater’s off-kilter persona is the perfect choice.
Inland Empire is the tale of an actress whose personality becomes increasingly fragmented as she delves ever deeper into her work for a high-profile filmmaker. Kingsley (Jeremy Irons) is a director looking to adapt for the screen a Polish gypsy folktale that was previously stalled when the two leads were viciously murdered. Having offered the female lead to devoted actress ...
Our Take:
Yeah, it’s weird and terrifying and downright baffling. But it’s David Lynch, continuing his interrogation of Hollywood’s dark, mythic psyche in the person of a schizoid Laura Dern. And in his hands, this Tinseltown nightmare is pure poetry.
Experience four films from one of the most influential and well-known French filmakers, Jean-Luc Godard. This pioneer of the "New Wave" cinematic movement enjoys a prolific career that has already spanned over 5 decades. This collection features four works from the 1980s and 1990s phase of his career. The films include Passion (1982), First Name: Carmen (Winner of the Golden ...
Our Take:
More than an icon of the Nouvelle Vague, JLG is cinema. Hey, he says so himself. If you want to know why this groundbreaking auteur still plies his trade with an aplomb and derring-do few directors can boast, check out Détective or Passion from this omnibus set. For Godard fans, these lesser-known works will simply reconfirm your worship of his distinctive film artistry.
The Cairn's (Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga) have it all: good marriage, nice apartment, a gifted nine-year-old son, Joshua, and a baby on the way. When their second child arrives, the young boy begins to resent his parents constant doting on his new sister. Suddenly, a series of tragic events fill the Cairn household with utter despair and unspeakable horror. ...
Our Take:
Not since The Bad Seed has a child scared the bejesus out of us like little Jacob Kogan. And he’s no Satan’s spawn, either! Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga score big points trying to figure what the hell’s up with junior, and the tension is enough to make Linda Blair wretch all over her nightie.
Douglas stars as Charlie, a troubled musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. He returns home to live with his 16-year-old daughter, Miranda (Evan Rachel Wood), who is not exactly thrilled to have him back.
Our Take:
Looking a bit like the Unabomber, Michael Douglas plays the wildly off-kilter Charlie with a lot of heart, trying to convince his pragmatic teenage daughter Evan Rachel Wood that there’s a heap of Spanish doubloons buried beneath their local Costco. This is a treasure hunt with some unexpected emotional twists.
They say that opposites attract. Well, for slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case—at least for one intoxicated evening.
Our Take: Lewd but true to life, tasteless yet sincerely tenderhearted: Apatow has rewritten the rules for modern-day romantic comedies, and this clever take on slacker-stoner lifestyle is his flagship entry. We can definitely relate.
Picturehouse and HBO Films present a critically acclaimed biopic about the legendary international singing icon Edith Piaf, whose voice and talent captivated the world. Starring award-winner Marion Cotillard (A Very Long Engagement, A Good Year) in an astonishing performance, the film is a portrait of a remarkable artist born into poverty who survived using the only gift she had: her ...
Our Take: What a life! And what a brilliant and heart-stirring performance by Oscar winner Marion Cotillard as the legendary French chansonnier. You’ll never hear Piaf’s music the same way again.
Nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima tells the untold story of the Japanese soldiers who defended their homeland against invading American forces during World War II. With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of Iwo Jima itself, the unprecedented tactics of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe, The Last ...
Our Take: Clint Eastwood has already taken his place in the pantheon of iconic American directors, but with Letters he has outdone himself, telling a World War II story from the perspective of Japanese soldiers. This is humanistic filmmaking of the highest order.
Manufactured Landscapes is the striking new documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of “manufactured landscapes”—quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams—Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilization’s materials and debris. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. ...
Our Take:
Baichwal’s doc is equally frightening and awe-inspiring, not least because of how we’re implicated in China’s industrial excesses, as consumers of cheap electronics and prime exporters of e-junk. Somehow, Burtynsky makes gorgeous art out of all the environmental degradation. His point? Gawk, recoil, then connect the dots.
Author and filmmaker James D. Scurlock takes on the powerful financial industry in an insightful and infuriating documentary about credit card debt in America. As he crisscrosses the United States, Scurlock interviews average Americans whose lives have been ruined by predatory financial lenders. His subjects are from all walks of life--everyone from retired widows in the Midwest, to poverty-stricken Southerners, ...
Our Take: Despair over out-of-control credit-card debt is literally killing people in the U.S., a point Scurlock’s doc on corporate loan-sharking makes painfully clear. So why are we addicted to credit cards? Is the lending industry to blame or individual irresponsibility? The makers of Maxed Out go looking for answers in an America seemingly hell-bent on borrowing.
An adventurous experiment in cinematic storytelling, this low-budget independent Thai feature is structured like the Surrealist idea of the "exquisite corpse." One person begins a story, and a succession of others continue it in whatever way they see fit. Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul gleans his participants from all over the Thai countryside. The story, begun by a young woman with a ...
Our Take: Part art film, part ethnographic travelogue, visionary Thai filmmaker “Joe” Weerasethakul investigates the universal nature of story with a documentarian’s eye in his first feature film. His mini-portraits of local villagers are as entrancing as the bizarre tale they collectively weave, unprompted by a written script. Take that, Robert McKee!
Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst, spanning time zones, continents, and languages. Jarmusch's lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat ...
Our Take: Indie maverick Jim Jarmusch’s wry, oddball sense of humor is on fine display in this suite of five urban tales told in the backseat of a cab. The Finnish actors who populate the Helsinki segment are a perfect match for Jarmusch’s deadpan style, while Roberto Benigni earns his keep with an uproarious Roman reminiscence about his erotic encounter with a pumpkin.
An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel.
Our Take: How many films can you think of that have the olfactory sense as a central conceit? Obsession, murder, and Tom Tykwer’s signature visual eccentricities are the essence of this lurid period drama based on Patrick Suskind’s novel. Scent-sational!
Winner of numerous international awards and garnering universal acclaim worldwide, Philippe Garrel’s Regular Lovers (Les Amants réguliers) is a rapturous paean to France’s near-revolution of May ’68 and its aftermath. Leading a young cast who look and act uncannily period-perfect, the director’s son Louis Garrel (The Dreamers, Dans Paris, Ma Mère) confirms himself as one of the hottest new French ...
Our Take: Wavy-haired heartthrob Louis Garrel anchors this contemplative story about youth, idealism, poetry, and the dissolution of radical politics in the aftermath of the May ’68 student riots. Directed by Louis’ father, Maurice Garrel, a distinguished but little-known filmmaker of the New Wave generation, Lovers moves from the flaming barricades of insurgent Paris avenues to the blazing opium pipes of a dreamy mansion where a group of 20-ish artists loll about. It is a sad and stunningly gorgeous film. Highly recommended.
Inge (Elizabeth Reaser) is a feisty German mail-order bride who has come to Minnesota to marry Olaf (Tim Guinee), a young Norwegian immigrant farmer of few words. But in a post-WWI, anti-German climate, the local minister (John Heard) openly forbids the marriage. Inge and Olaf fall in love despite the town's disapproval. But when the town banker (Ned Beatty) attempts ...
Syndromes and a Century is a film in two parts which sometimes echo each other. The two central characters are inspired by the filmmaker`s parents, in the years before they became lovers. The first part focuses on a woman doctor, and is set in a space reminiscent of the world in which the filmmaker was born and raised. The second ...

Set centuries ago and in mythical times, Ten Canoes is a surreal tragi-comedy in the Ganalbingu language of the remote Arafura Swamp region of north-eastern Arnhem Land. This is the first major Australian feature film completely filmed in an indigenous Aboriginal language.
Everyone in 1880s America knows Jesse James. He’s the nation’s most notorious criminal, hunted by the law in 10 states. He’s also the land’s greatest hero, lauded as a Robin Hood by the public. Robert Ford? No one knows him. Not yet.

The trouble is that when he started his firm he invented a nonexistent company president to hide behind when unpopular steps needed to be taken.

Our Take:
Gone are Von Trier’s trademark torture symphonies: This is comedy pure and simple, ripped right out of The Office playbook. And Lars does it well!

Equal parts psychological drama and heist movie, this film from screenwriter Scott Frank is a smart first feature with a strong cast. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Chris Pratt, a young man whose life changes after a car accident.
Based on the classic novel by W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil is a love story set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young English couple, Walter, a middle class doctor and Kitty, an upper-class woman, who get married for the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where she falls in love with someone else.

The U.S. vs. John Lennon is neither a collection of outtakes like Acoustic nor a career-spanning retrospective like the Imagine: John Lennon soundtrack or one of his many greatest-hits collections. Instead, it's an album with a theme: Lennon the idealist, Lennon the peace activist, Lennon the leftist; but also Lennon the disillusioned and Lennon the harrassed--and, of course, Lennon the ...

An envious businessman seeks revenge on a cheerful coworker. And an optimistic young cleaning woman awaits a miracle. These ordinary people all find themselves asking the fundamental question ...
Our Take:
The everyday lives of five New Yorkers get a fateful tweak in Jill Sprecher’s contemplative urban drama about the perennial quest for happiness, but it’s Alan Arkin’s turn as a cynical claims adjuster that makes the movie great.
Based on incidents from his own childhood, writer-director Shane Meadows's THIS IS ENGLAND is a stunning, brutal look at 1983 Britain, during the conservative Margaret Thatcher regime and the controversial Falklands War. Twelve-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) is a tough little kid who is street-smart beyond his years despite being short for his age. He falls in with a group of ...
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and an official selection of the New York Film Festival, Topical Malady is the lyrical and mysterious new film by maverick Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Blissfully Yours), one of the most prominent young directors of the Thai New Wave.

Superstitious villagers claim that the ...
Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, WHY WE FIGHT is an unflinching look at the anatomy of American war-making. Granted unparalleled Pentagon access, the film launches a nonpartisan inquiry into the forces – political, economic, and ideological – that drive America to fight.
Our Take:
Let’s face it: Eisenhower was right. Making war is great for capitalism and vital to the thriving of the “military-industrial complex.” Jarecki lays out an airtight case. And where else are you going to find John McCain, Gore Vidal, and Richard Perle all living under the same roof?
Eleven-year-old David Wiseman lives with the singular dream of being a cricket star, but much to the dismay and ridicule of his classmates, he is all passion and no skill.
