    REVIEW | Southern Discomfort: Paul Schrader's "The Walker"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on December 6, 2007

    Paul Schrader's fascination with life's seamier underside continues in "The Walker," whose titular character, Carter Page III is something of a latter-day incarnation of Richard Gere's American gigolo. He escorts bored, rich wives around town but, this time, he's effectively neutered: "Car" is gay (...

    REVIEW | Attitude Adjustment: Jason Reitman's "Juno"

    by Michael Koresky on December 4, 2007

    The hype machine is chugging along at full speed for "Juno," and it's amazing what a little festival attention can do. A well-timed Telluride premiere, to an already almost legendarily appreciative audience, was soon followed by Toronto and Austin unveilings, all of which led award pundits and Enter...

    REVIEW | The Kid Is Alright: Jennifer Venditti's "Billy the Kid"

    by Michael Koresky on December 3, 2007

    Like its protagonist, Jennifer Venditti's acclaimed documentary "Billy the Kid" is both pretty hard to dislike and difficult to parse. It's already scooped up awards at Edinburgh, Los Angeles, and South by Southwest film festivals, and it's easy to see why: this compelling, ingratiating portrait of ...

    REVIEW | Room with a View: Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

    by Chris Wisniewski on November 28, 2007

    Like his previous films, "Basquiat" and "Before Night Falls," Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" attempts to elevate the middle-brow biopic to the status of high-brow art cinema. Schnabel, an artist and sometimes filmmaker, has carved out a niche for himself crafting visually arre...

    REVIEW | Stuck Figures: Jessica Yu's "Protagonist"

    by Michael Koresky on November 24, 2007

    When she was commissioned to make a documentary about Euripedes (a tall order, indeed), filmmaker Jessica Yu instead chose to see if she could apply the classical Greek playwright's dramatic structuring principles to present-day living. Rather than rehash what made the tragedian's works great or set...

    REVIEW | An American Tale: Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There"

    by Chris Wisniewski on November 19, 2007

    In the next month, every film critic with a byline or blog will recap the past year in movies and pick ten films as 2007's finest. More likely than not, these lists will serve as springboards for an endless series of harangues on the declining quality of cinema. (Do we really need to be reminded tha...

    REVIEW | A Snark Tale: Frank L. Anderson & Barry Poltermann's "The Life of Reilly"

    by Nick Pinkerton on November 14, 2007

    I'd guess that most people under 30 who know of Charles Nelson Reilly at all remember him as played by a leisure-suited, compulsively spectacle-tweaking Alec Baldwin on an SNL "Inside the Actors Studio" skit. The joke, as always, was that Will Ferrell's James Lipton was prostrating himself before a ...
