Review of Bee Season (2005)

By Stanley Kauffmann (447) for The New Republic (897) on 22 Nov 2005

All these mystical elements are so sententiously handled and bump into one another so clumsily that they make the film seem nutty…

Review of The Flower of Evil (2003)

By Stanley Kauffmann (447) for The New Republic (897) on 01 Sep 2005

The latest Chabrol is a bit bland, but by now a new film of his is almost like meeting a previously unencountered family member…

Review of Air Force One (1997)

By Stanley Kauffmann (447) for The New Republic (897) on 26 Aug 2005

The film's biggest flaw -- aside from the lapses of credibility, which are almost obligatory in escapist summer movies -- is that it flies…

Review of Cinema Paradiso (1988)

By Stanley Kauffmann (447) for The New Republic (897) on 16 Aug 2005
