Love Me if You Dare (2003) 45% 1.5/4 EDIT “It doesn't point toward a new way to live our lives; it smugly applauds the 'radical' choices of one self-absorbed, sociopathic boy-girl couple.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 2, 2004 Full Review Strayed (2003) 74% 3.5/4 EDIT “If Bon Voyage ... didn't satiate your desire for films about the Nazi occupation of France in World War II, you're in luck. Another one has washed up on our shores, and it's even better.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 25, 2004 Full Review Kitchen Stories (2003) 90% 3/4 EDIT “What you're left with is a relationship between two men that is untouched by macho posturing or any trace of anxiety -- and a perfect respite from the action flick mentality.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 17, 2004 Full Review A Slipping-Down Life (1999) 27% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film does little more than clock the highs and lows of another of cinema's many, many, many couples.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 27, 2004 Full Review Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring (2003) 94% 3/4 EDIT “The payoff of this intoxicating film is less a deep, coherent message than a series of gorgeous surface images: the smoky visuals, the calm, committed rapport with nature, the dramatic seasonal shifts.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 13, 2004 Full Review Bon Voyage (2003) 77% 3/4 EDIT “It's an utterly accessible, thoroughly entertaining World War II thriller whose mild comedic touches detract not a whit from the haunted memory of Nazi occupation.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 7, 2004 Full Review The Statement (2003) 24% 2.5/4 EDIT “All Jewison has to offer us is an exquisitely packaged reminder of the Catholic Church's collaboration with the Vichy government. But why distort history when your sole purpose is to offer a history lesson?” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 25, 2004 Full Review Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Greendale (2003) 36% 3/4 EDIT “The ceaseless 4/4 lumber of Young's perennial backing band, Crazy Horse, combined with the aggressive grunginess of the imagery, bespeaks commitment, and a sense of purpose.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 11, 2004 Full Review Zero Day (2003) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “Zero Day simply proves that feel-bad films are no more instructive than feel-good films.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 5, 2004 Full Review In July (2000) 89% 1.5/4 EDIT “We've been to this place many times before, folks: An overly fastidious, brainy male gets led through a series of zany adventures by a free-spirited female, and the moral of the story is to not live life so cautiously.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 12, 2004 Full Review Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) 73% 2/4 EDIT “For the most part, Girl With a Pearl Earring is simultaneously heaving and static, like the cover of a Harlequin romance novel and about as exciting to contemplate for more than 90 minutes.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 29, 2004 Full Review Chasing Liberty (2004) 19% 2/4 EDIT “Amounts to little more than a nearly two-hour travelogue of Europe, a la The Lizzie McGuire Movie.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 8, 2004 Full Review Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns (2002) 82% 2.5/4 EDIT “Suffers the same banal fate of most band documentaries. It's essential for rabid fans but even ordinary ones will live rich and meaningful lives without ever having seen one minute of it.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 21, 2003 Full Review Camp (2003) 65% 1/4 EDIT “A film best avoided by teenage misfits of any stripe.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 21, 2003 Full Review The Cuckoo (2002) 87% 4/4 EDIT “Demonstrates how little communication has to do with language. And isn't that what the greatest films show us?” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 15, 2003 Full Review Northfork (2003) 57% 2/4 EDIT “Beware of smarty-pants filmmakers run amok in small-town America.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 7, 2003 Full Review Respiro (2002) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “After 90 minutes of policing female sexuality, the film is left with little to say on the matter.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 8, 2003 Full Review Whale Rider (2002) 91% 3/4 EDIT “For a better look at the sexism behind ancestral traditions, try Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi's masterpiece The Circle. But this easier-to-take film has an intoxication all its own.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 27, 2003 Full Review Together (2002) 73% 3/4 EDIT “What makes it all work in the end is the actors, especially Tang Yun as the child prodigy.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001) 68% 1/4 EDIT “A joyless hatchet job.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 13, 2003 Full Review The Italian Job (2003) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “A 'robbers and robbers' film that fails to distinguish itself from any of the others.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 29, 2003 Full Review Time Out (2001) 95% 4/4 EDIT “[A] rare, beautiful film.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jun 14, 2002 Full Review The Son's Room (2001) 85% 2.5/4 EDIT “Moretti plays Giovanni, a psychiatrist who predictably finds it difficult to sustain interest in his profession after the family tragedy. Too predictably, in fact.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 30, 2002 Full Review Triumph of Love (2001) 49% 3/4 EDIT “Has an unmistakable, easy joie de vivre.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 9, 2002 Full Review Harrison's Flowers (2000) 49% 2/4 EDIT “It's as if the complex backdrop of war could support only the most generic melodrama.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 15, 2002 Full Review
