Review of Friends with Kids (2012)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Just as Friends With Kids compares unfavorably to Westfeldt's earlier effort, her cast members' previous projects further highlight this film's…

Review of The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye (2012)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

This impressionistic approach eschews traditional biography, instead giving the viewer the feeling of being inside a moment, without necessarily…

Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Mostly sacrifices the political satire and epistolary structure of Paul Torday's source novel in favor of cute, if strained, rom-com shenanigans…

Review of Sound of Noise (2010)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Review of Shakespeare High (2012)

By Michelle Orange (458) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Review of Footnote (2011)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Something between a comedy of everyday absurdity and a family tragedy pushed into the realm of the hyper-real, Footnote uses its characters…

Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Gelb might flit around a bit too much, but his appealing documentary always comes back to its subject's determination (sometimes overbearing)…

Review of Good for Nothing (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Mar 2012

Good for Nothing has a nice comic sense of the brushfire eruptions of Western violence…

Review of Hamlet 2 (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Mar 2012

Not nearly as uproarious as it should be…

Review of Gods and Generals (2003)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Mar 2012

Shot with the TV-movie blahs, the film itself is nothing more than an elaborate reenactment, perfectly mating box-of-rocks acting (bring rotten…

Review of Humboldt County (2008)

By Jean Oppenheimer (118) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Mar 2012

Jeremy Strong's minimalist performance in the lead role makes for an unconvincing character arc--he seems almost as ill-at-ease and dispirited…

Review of The Lorax (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Mar 2012

Par for the course in blowout CGI adaptations, a great deal of detail and bustle is gained at the expense of charm - for all the miracles these…

Review of Project X (2012)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Mar 2012

Review of Where Are You Taking Me? (2012)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Takesue doesn't presume to tell anyone's story for him or her, but rather lets the activity on-screen speak for itself…

Review of Boy (2010)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

E.T., Musical Youth, and Shogun also turn up, but these pop-culture signifiers aren't enough to make up for the lack of a plot (or even a purpose)…

Review of Being Flynn (2012)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

What the actors are unable to get across emotionally (which is a lot - Dano and De Niro, both of them all big actorly tics, often seem like…

Review of Better Than Something: Jay Reatard (2012)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012
