‘The Whistlers’ Review: A Delightful Romanian Twist on ‘Ocean’s 11’ — Cannes
Corneliu Porumboiu’s enjoyable riff on the heist movie tradition has a unique hook, and is begging for an English language remake.
‘The Best Years of a Life’ Review: A Corny Sequel to ‘A Man and a Woman’ — Cannes

Michael Covino’s absorbing directorial debut combines testosterone-fueled punchlines with superb filmmaking prowess.
