    REVIEW | Straight Talk: Stewart Wade's "Coffee Date"

    by Michael Koresky on January 11, 2007

    Intermittently charming and often tedious, "Coffee Date" is another in the endless line of low-budget, gay-themed, goodhearted sitcoms that dot the nether regions of the film landscape. Much as a film like Stewart Wade's can be derided for its lack of craft, visual ambition, and recycled narrative o...

    REVIEW | Chris Sheridan and Patty Kim's "Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on January 11, 2007

    To chart the unusual case of a 13-year-old Japanese girl who went missing in 1977, filmmakers Chris Sheridan and Patty Kim take a slightly different approach to the typical talking-heads documentary. Segueing at about the halfway mark from exotic expose to human interest story, the careful construc...

    by Anthony Kaufman on January 10, 2007

    REVIEW | Outside Men: Christopher Quinn's "God Grew Tired of Us"

    by Michael Koresky on January 9, 2007

    There's a reason why a film like Christopher Quinn's impassioned and affecting "God Grew Tired of Us" is designed to appeal to a more populist audience, and why, despite all of its pain and heartache, it needs to be couched in uplift. It's simply a story of which far too many Westerners have remaine...

    Reverse Shot's 11 Offenses of 2006

    by Indiewire on January 4, 2007

    So, if you're like us, you've had enough, enough, ENOUGH of the Academy Award pundits predicting the same prizes since September, studio shills vomiting "Dreamgirls" spittle all over the place, and seeing about one-hundred-and-seventeen different websites predicting, with self-satisfied, out-on-a-li...

    REVIEW | Shallow Grave: Karen Moncrieff's "The Dead Girl"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on December 27, 2006

    Structured as five chapters, each focusing on a female character in some way connected to the "Dead Girl" of the title, Karen Moncrieff's film applies a slightly more sensationalistic bent to the usual roundelay of overlapping stories that comprise the ensemble drama. It opens promisingly, abruptly,...

    REVIEW | Child's Play: Guillermo Del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth"

    by Michael Koresky on December 27, 2006

    "A fairy tale for grown-ups!" exclaim the mindless reviewers who can't get their noses out of their press kits. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Aside from its highly exploitative and infantile use of graphic gore, this one is strictly for the kiddies, or at least, those reared on b...

    REVIEW | Heaven Scent: Tom Tykwer's "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"

    by Michael Koresky on December 27, 2006

    Opening the same week as the overstimulated and underconceived "Pan's Labyrinth," Tom Tykwer's compelling and daring "Perfume" is in danger of being ignored. At times as CGI-enhanced as Del Toro's hackneyed trip through the looking glass, "Perfume" nevertheless weaves its effects into a seamless who...

    REVIEW | Love and Marriage: John Curran's "The Painted Veil"

    by Nick Pinkerton on December 20, 2006

    "As if a woman ever loved a man for his virtue," scoffs Kitty Fane, heroine of W. Somerset Maugham's 1925 novel "The Painted Veil" - the line remains intact in the new film version. This touches on something raw, the insoluble dilemma that Kitty's heart is rent upon: the people we most esteem or res...
