Review of Child of Sorrow (1956)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

So bereft of creativity that it fails even to deliver to its base--teenage boys--the ghouls and boobs they so desperately want to see…

Review of Ping Pong Playa (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Mostly a little shrewder about stereotypes than your typical slacker comedy, deriving its edge from Yu and Tsai's mining of the cultural specificity…

Review of Cold Souls (2009)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

Giamatti's usual character%u2014at least, the one that Cold Souls wishes to exploit%u2014is paper-thin, working better on the periphery than…

Review of Battle in Seattle (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Approaching its subject with a neat idealism and packaging its political fervor in the most facile of forms, the film boasts a cast loaded…

Review of Dreams with Sharp Teeth (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

If there is a criticism to be lobbed at Nelson's judicious but otherwise highly entertaining tribute, it's that it too often plays the role…

Review of The Ruins (1984)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

So bereft of creativity that it fails even to deliver to its base--teenage boys--the ghouls and boobs they so desperately want to see…

Review of This Is England (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

It is the war within him--and by extension, within the minds of many embittered, working class young men left behind in Thatcher's England--that…

Review of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Wang's new film suggests not only a return to form but also the revival of an old theme from his early Asian-American dramedies: the different…

Review of Dark Matter (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Begins with a shot of Meryl Streep practicing tai chi, and therein lies a precise encapsulation of the film's attitude toward the intersection…

Review of Bigger Than Life (1956)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

Always a shrewd melodramatist, with a particular eye for the domestic space, Ray builds this sense of conflict into the Avery home itself,…

Review of Yonkers Joe (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Mostly strong, that is, with the major exception of Tom Guiry's portrayal of Joe Jr…

Review of Sukiyaki Western Django (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Ultimately not quite as clever as it thinks it is…

Review of Expired (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Death and regret hang over the film palpably, and Miniucchi's willingness to put her characters through disaster and humiliation while still…

Review of Good (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Bears a superficial resemblance to The Conformist and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, with their sense of dreary complacency, oppressively…

Review of This Is England (1941)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

It is the war within him--and by extension, within the minds of many embittered, working class young men left behind in Thatcher's England--that…

Review of The Great Buck Howard (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Malkovich's titular mentalist is the primary focus of attention%u2014and sadly the source of many of the film's unique problems…

Review of The Ruins (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009

So bereft of creativity that it fails even to deliver to its base--teenage boys--the ghouls and boobs they so desperately want to see…

Review of The Life Before Her Eyes (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

A hopelessly overblown melodrama, which oversteps its mark with pretensions of narrative complexity and social currency…

Review of Séraphine (2008)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for indieWire (3,631) on 07 Aug 2009

Relies heavily on Moreau's gripping, continually surprising performance to effectively convey the oracular urgency and fractured, Dionysian…

Review of Blind Mountain (2007)

By Leo Goldsmith (118) for Reverse Shot (113) on 07 Aug 2009
