The Corporation (2003) 89% EDIT “The Corporation presents such a powerful case for increased regulation and awareness of corporate power that its occasional missteps-- such as its reliance on overused talking heads like Noam Chomsky's-- do not matter much.” – The Brooklyn Rail Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Greedy Lying Bastards (2012) 67% 1/4 EDIT “A grab bag of environmentally related talking points that never quite congeals into an argument, let alone a prescription.” – Boston Globe Mar 7, 2013 Full Review Mongolian Ping Pong (2004) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Less concerned with its plot, which is gossamer-thin and not terribly involving, than with describing the nature of the lives these inhabitants of the remote steppe lead.” – Boxoffice Magazine Aug 1, 2006 Full Review Autumn (2006) 25% 1/5 EDIT “An unsavory pastiche of the familiar and the overdone, flavored with faux-pungent, existential, interminable dialogue.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 9, 2006 Full Review Cavite (2005) 73% 3/5 EDIT “The film is a tender, unflinching look at the brutal conditions of life in the Philippines, its sympathy for its accidental subjects intertwined with a flexible, on-the-fly mode of filmmaking.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 3, 2006 Full Review Sir! No Sir! (2005) 89% 2/5 EDIT “In seeking to express its outrage over the Vietnam War, Sir! No Sir! loses its moral compass, conflating dissidence and traitorousness, and confusing friends with the enemies of their enemies.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2006 Full Review Take My Eyes (2003) 91% 3/5 EDIT “We emerge worn but wiser, having stepped, if only momentarily, and secondarily, into the shoes of the brutalized.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 23, 2006 Full Review Blossoms of Fire (2000) 50% 2/5 EDIT “... Gosling's film borrows Herzog's taste for the unfamiliar and exotic without its concomitant saving grace: his wry cynicism.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 22, 2006 Full Review Little Man (2005) 60% 2/5 EDIT “The film leaves viewers with the odd sensation of having peered into the most intimate details of other people's lives, without acquiring much beyond surface impressions.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 6, 2005 Full Review The Swenkas (2004) 63% 2/5 EDIT “Ronde has clearly stumbled onto a terrific subject for a documentary, but having done that, he has little idea what to do with it.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 11, 2005 Full Review In Praise of Love (2001) 54% 1/5 EDIT “Gives the impression of a man who has lost his will to make movies, and even to go on living, a sentiment difficult to empathize with without likewise giving up on life.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review The Way We Laughed (1998) 86% 3/5 EDIT “It's a damn impressive trick to build a film around narrative frustration and not cause your audience to run out screaming.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) 81% 2/5 EDIT “The resulting hodgepodge is a medley of the brothers' favorite verbal and visual tics, making much noise and signifying nothing.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review The Town Is Quiet (2000) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Strives toward greatness, toward a complete understanding of life in the roiling, unsettled, complex locale they call Marseilles, and its partial success must be applauded.” – Film Threat Dec 8, 2002 Full Review
