Shuttle (2008) 52% C EDIT “Instead of suspense, we get frustration at the stupidity of the characters.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 12, 2009 Full Review Everlasting Moments (2008) 90% A- EDIT “Troell's profound insistence that life -- even in its most miserable chapters -- is an occasion for rejoicing, goes beyond gender politics to a place of transcendent sublimity.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Mar 12, 2009 Full Review Were the World Mine (2008) 71% B- EDIT “Were the World Mine is an independent film that succeeds through the excellent work of a cast and crew whose imagination compensates for budgetary constraints.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 29, 2009 Full Review Made in China (2009) 43% C+ EDIT “Children and undiscriminating adults may enjoy the flurry of eye-catching activities that storm incessantly across the screen for its 2 1/2 hours, but the reigning stupidity of the enterprise is liable to tire anyone else in attendance.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 16, 2009 Full Review The Feature (2008) 56% C- EDIT “In a rare moment of personal illumination, he admits that "sometimes there are artists who are just no good." If nothing else, The Feature proves this statement.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 5, 2009 Full Review 20 Seconds of Joy (2007) B- EDIT “Jens Hoffmann's perceptive portrait of Norwegian base jumper Karina Hollekim.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Jan 5, 2009 Full Review Save Me (2007) 68% C EDIT “As a movie, it doesn't amount to much more than an after school-special with sex and profanity.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Lake City (2008) 12% C+ EDIT “When Hill and Moore leave story and characters behind to veer off into suspenseless chases through cornfields, one wonders if the era of earnest American drama may be coming to a close.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived (2008) 77% B EDIT “Contrary to its title, Virtual JFK is less a counter-history of the Vietnam years than a tribute to John F. Kennedy's stubborn resistance to a military that pressured him to go to war on six occasions during his short presidency.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Nobel Son (2007) 25% D EDIT “That the ending makes no sense doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact that we wouldn't care even if it did.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Dec 4, 2008 Full Review Obscene (2007) 92% B EDIT “Rosset is a lively subject, and his interviews (over many years) provide an oral history of his life and times.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Flow: For Love of Water (2008) 80% B- EDIT “Flow might be alarmist propaganda, but with an estimated 20 years left before California's water supply is used up, it might be time to respond to the alarm.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 6, 2008 Full Review Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback (2007) 100% B EDIT “Brings home the tragedy of being ahead of one's time in popular culture.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Nov 6, 2008 Full Review Fear(s) of the Dark (2007) 72% B EDIT “These six tales only scratch the surface of our phobic subconscious.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Trouble the Water (2008) 96% B EDIT “Directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal make jarring cuts from Roberts' personal footage to the mainstream news reports, emphasizing the unreal tone of the professional media.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 17, 2008 Full Review My Father My Lord (2007) 95% B EDIT “David Volach's understated condemnation of religious extremism makes its points in lethally solemn tones, with neither caricature nor ridicule.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 2, 2008 Full Review Sukiyaki Western Django (2007) 56% C EDIT “Director Takashi Miike's dish of sukiyaki spaghetti ala Sergio Corbucci is badly seasoned with scraps of reservoir dogs.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 2, 2008 Full Review I.O.U.S.A. (2008) 87% C+ EDIT “Loaded with graphs, facts and statistics, it is too weighty a lesson in economics to be digested in 90 minutes.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 2, 2008 Full Review How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) 36% C+ EDIT “An initially hilarious picture that grows perplexingly trite as screenwriter Peter Straughan transforms Young's sly observations into assembly-line pap.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 2, 2008 Full Review Blindness (2008) 44% B+ EDIT “The cast does excellent ensemble work, with each of its members contributing to the overall effect rather than seeking opportunities for star turns.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Oct 2, 2008 Full Review Corporal's Diary (2008) b EDIT “A heartfelt tribute to a human being by those who loved him.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 29, 2008 Full Review Humboldt County (2008) 60% C- EDIT “For an idea of how Humboldt County plays, imagine a Lifetime original movie about a loveable but pathetic couple who passed their druggy lifestyle on to the next generation.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Still Life (2006) 91% B+ EDIT “Director Jia Zhang-ke sees the urbanization of China through the eyes of the relocated laborers.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Year of the Fish (2007) 61% B- EDIT “Year of the Fish is an eye-opener for those unfamiliar with the tribulations many immigrants endure on their road to American citizenship.” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 26, 2008 Full Review XXY (2007) 83% B- EDIT “Despite its sometimes creepy tentativeness, XXY succeeds as a meditation on gender and sexuality, one that refuses an easy answer to the question, 'Is it a boy or a girl?'” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sep 26, 2008 Full Review
