    REVIEW | Best Kept Secret: Guillaume Canet's "Tell No One"

    by Leo Goldsmith on July 1, 2008

    Guillaume Canet's "Tell No One" begins with a certain nonchalance that one wouldn't ordinarily expect from a suspense thriller, least of all one that adapts Harlan Coben's multi-twist mystery plotting with the brio of a distinctly "Bourne"-again action film. In its first minutes, the film draws us i...

    REVIEW | Woman on Top: Catherine Breillat's "The Last Mistress"

    by Chris Wisniewski on June 26, 2008

    The first time Asia Argento appears in Catherine Breillat's "The Last Mistress," she fills the frame, reclining on a couch with devilish confidence as her character, Vellini, discusses the upcoming marriage of Ryno (Fu'ad Ait Aattou), her lover of ten years, to another woman. It's an appropriate ent...

    REVIEW | Found and Lost: Peter Tolan's "Finding Amanda"

    by Michael Koresky on June 25, 2008

    Over the years, it's been both disconcerting and somehow satisfying to watch Matthew Broderick gradually morph from a lithe, cocky teen heartthrob to a pudgy, middle-aged sad sack. The puppy-dog eyes have sunken deeper into down-turned crevices of disappointment, and he seems lost in his burly torso...

    REVIEW | Staged Craft: Peter Askin's "Trumbo"

    by Michael Rowin on June 24, 2008

    "Trumbo" tells the eventful story of the best-known name in the Hollywood Ten, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, with an unsurprising emphasis on the leftist's misadventures with the House Un-American Activities Committee. Famous and well-paid before HUAC sentenced him and nine other fellow Communist symp...

    REVIEW | Winning Losers: Cecilia Miniucchi's "Expired"

    by Leo Goldsmith on June 19, 2008

    It's an incontrovertible truth that Samantha Morton is among the best actresses in the world, a fact somehow aided and not obscured by her insistence on playing, from "Sweet and Lowdown" to "Mister Lonely," the same character: the innocent, all-forgiving punching bag of a self-obsessed, self-hating ...

    REVIEW | Buy the Book: Sarah Gavron's "Brick Lane"

    by Indiewire on June 14, 2008

    Sarah Gavron's "Brick Lane" is the kind of movie a critic would just as soon let pass without comment. Unchallenging and inoffensive, it gives little to work with, its soft-focus take on a rich novel less outrageous than enervating. The potential for a banalized transposition was always there. Monic...

    REVIEW | Life and Limb: Carlos Brooks's "Quid Pro Quo"

    by Leo Goldsmith on June 12, 2008

    Castrated twice in "Sin City," stabbed and beaten to death in "Bully," shot in the face in "In the Bedroom", and most recently a mentally abused emotional adolescent in this year's "Sleepwalkers," Nick Stahl is steadily carving out a niche for himself as the whipping boy of contemporary American ind...

    REVIEW | Life of the Mind: Jan Schutte's "Love Comes Lately"

    by Michael Koresky on June 11, 2008

    Viewers of "Love Comes Lately" may find themselves wishing they had curled up with a Phillip Roth book instead. Not that Jan Schutte's film, awkwardly grafted together with three short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer, doesn't have its share of charms, most of which are to be found in its glowing su...

    REVIEW | Cold Comforts: Werner Herzog's "Encounters at the End of the World"

    by Nick Pinkerton on June 11, 2008

    REVIEW | Real Men: Tina Mascara and Guido Santi's "Chris & Don: A Love Story"

    by Michael Koresky on June 9, 2008

    If only someone would make a fictional gay romance that had as much feeling and depth as Tina Mascara and Guido Santi's "Chris & Don: A Love Story." A wistful, at times unbearably intimate study of the life-long love affair that Los Angeles portrait artist Don Bachardy has had with now-deceased Brit...
