The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: "It's the real-life story, not the artistry involved in its telling, that does all the heavy lifting here."
The Savages: "The Savages boasts plenty of keenly observed moments, but it's also the kind of film in which someone says 'He won't marry me, but he cries when I make him eggs,' and two scenes later, sure enough, there the guy is choking back tears at the breakfast table."
Chronicle of an Escape: "Chronicle of an Escape feels scrupulously, nauseatingly accurate in its unstinting depiction of deprivation and torture, but it also seems to have no other purpose; the film belongs to that large, undistinguished subset of historical dramas that achieve little more than informing viewers that the events onscreen did in fact take place."
Q&A: Tamara Jenkins: "I definitely wasn't interested in a sentimental portrait [of death] or a sanctimonious portrait or a maudlin portrait."
Still Crazy After All These Years: "Generally, cinematic controversies seem less relevant as the years go by. But for Pier Paolo Pasolini, the rule does not apply."
Twin Peaks: Definitive Gold Box Edition: "Remastered, and still a masterpiece."
