    REVIEW | Old Scars: Peter Miller's "Sacco and Vanzetti"

    by Nick Pinkerton on March 27, 2007

    Odd as it seems to say of a movie that covers a crime that's more than 80 years old, but Peter Miller's "Sacco and Vanzetti" is distinctly behind the times on the latest developments of its subject. In December 2005, a letter surfaced in California, purportedly penned by Upton Sinclair during the re...

    REVIEW | The Great Plain: Scott Frank's "The Lookout"

    by Nick Pinkerton on March 27, 2007

    The title, to start with. "The Lookout"? My God, that's slack -- and these movies don't make themselves; meetings were probably held to get to that. Then move on to the poster, one of those long-afternoon-of-Photoshopping jobs, featuring a moody headshot of leading man Joseph Gordon-Levitt, cheekbon...

    REVIEW | Early Thaw: Mark Fergus's "First Snow"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on March 21, 2007

    A classic cocky bastard, set up as such to better offset the impending humbling, Jimmy Starks (played to smooth and oily perfection by Guy Pearce) immediately reveals his nature alongside his broken down car on a deserted road: Holding up his cell phone to check reception, taking long drags off a c...

    REVIEW | Off-key: Denis Dercourt's "The Page Turner"

    by Indiewire on March 20, 2007

    Any director working from as thin a premise as that which tries to undergird the nominal thriller "The Page Turner" better have style to burn, or at least the good sense to get the film over with as quickly as possible. Denis Dercourt's sadly lacking in the former department, though, having managed...

    REVIEW | This Sporting Life: Jafar Panahi's "Offside"

    by Michael Koresky on March 17, 2007

    Not to overstate the obvious, or necessarily promote criticism that only contends in meaningless dialectics between high and low art, but, to put it bluntly, if given the choice between Jafar Panahi's eloquent, invigorating, tightly paced, and endlessly enjoyable "Offside" and the current box office...

    REVIEW | Blood Brothers: "The Wind that Shakes the Barley"

    by Chris Wisniewski on March 15, 2007

    Ken Loach's camera pans and tilts its way through "The Wind that Shakes the Barley," as though its wandering gaze is in search of a fixed center, adrift in a world of shifting allegiances and gruesome violence. The off-the-cuff naturalism of Loach's technique proves something of a blessing here, blu...

    REVIEW | Louder Than Bombs: Phillip Groning's "Into Great Silence"

    by Indiewire on February 27, 2007

    Much of the discussion surrounding "Into Great Silence," detailing the daily rituals of the monks inhabiting the Grand Chartreuse monastery in the French Alps, is sure to focus on how Phillip Groning's nearly three-hour documentary provides a window into a rarely seen spiritual world. It does perfo...

    REVIEW | The Song Remains the Same: Michael Apted's "Amazing Grace"

    by Michael Rowin on February 21, 2007

    Contrary to what its title suggests, "Amazing Grace" isn't really about the origins of the immortal Christian hymn. Neither is it, directly, about the British slave trade. Instead it's about the tireless campaign of William Wilberforce, Member of Parliament, to abolish the slave trade in the late 18...

    REVIEW | Britplop: Tom Vaughan's "Starter for 10"

    by Michael Koresky on February 21, 2007

    Though bolstered considerably by the fully engaged star performance of James McAvoy (whose magnetism was trammeled by the hideous racial politicking of "The Last King of Scotland"), Tom Vaughan's Brit college comedy "Starter for 10" is weighed down by something of an identity crisis. An Eighties thr...
