K-11 Movie Review | |
| A sordid prison drama that struts an unsteady line between full-on camp and "Oz"-style Darwinism. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times "K-11" has the makings of a cult movie campfest but little of the authentic wit, edge or outré vision it would take to get there. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times Points for niche audaciousness, but that's all. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News Like an on-the-nose parody of Lee Daniels directing an episode of Oz, K-11 is a pulpy, tone-deaf mess of confused directorial intent ... Aaron Hillis-Village Voice Pulpy prison yarn lacks conviction. Stephen Dalton-Hollywood Reporter A pulpy, psychologically hollow and emotionally indiscernible mélange of phony jailhouse intrigue and showy gender-politicking, with a bit of anal rape sprinkled in. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Stuck in that valley of being bad, but not so bad that it's actually good. Jordan Hoffman-Badass Digest I'm not quite sure why Stewart felt compelled to make this movie, but to her credit I guess, she commits to the story she's telling, as lurid, unpleasant and ultimately pointless as it may be. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Jules Stewart makes a confident directorial debut. Although the screenplay comes perilously close at times to sensationalizing or stereotyping the characters, Stewart wisely resists. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Echo Magazine It careens from one tonal extreme to the next, uncertain about whether it wants to be a gritty drama, camp artifact, or violent prison-sploitation flick.

From Up On Poppy Hill Movie Review | |
| This is a gentle film, hand-drawn with irresistible colors, that exudes nostalgia in a lovely way. G. Allen Johnson-San Francisco Chronicle Although simpler and less mysterious than the great Hayao Miyazaki movies, the gently melancholic From Up on Poppy Hill is still a must see at a time when family entertainment is too often synonymous with blandness. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Is there a Japanese word that combines "pretty," "demure" and "boring"? Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Both genuinely emotional and blithely engaging. John Anderson-Newsday The film maintains an optimistic tone without succumbing to nostalgia, and as always with Studio Ghibli, the company Miyazaki cofounded in the 80s, the hand-drawn animation is gorgeous. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Your kids may well fall in love with it, if you help them find it. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Like his old man, the younger Miyazaki favors limited character animation and luscious water colors. Unfortunately, he lacks his father's storytelling skills. Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope Rest assured, the younger Miyazaki has clearly earned his stars, as Poppy Hill offers just the same intimate, ultimately life-affirming kind of storytelling we've come to expect from the family name. Cammila Collar-TV Guide's Movie Guide [A] study of how the tolls of war reverberate through generations. Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies Poppy Hill is more a short story than a feature, almost unbelievably optimistic, but it offers a surprising, innocent window on an era usually associated with nuclear anxieties, cultural neuroses, and juvenile delinquents. Sean Axmaker-Seattle Weekly Not the most enthralling Studio Ghibli animated feature, but the restrained story of a boy, a girl, and their beloved high school campus, circa 1963 in Yokohama, nevertheless creeps up on us emotionally in the best Ghibli fashion. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Sunny days, blue skies, and rippling blue waters lined with greenery...Plain nice, and there's nothing wrong with that. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews The studio's stunning textures and vibrant details still give Poppy Hill that ethereal quality sure to mollify nostalgic Ghibli fans, but its strengths are fastidiously undone by a predictable and underwhelming plot. Manori Ravindran-National Post A full awareness that it's kind of a cheap melodrama (one of the characters even says so) doesn't change the fact that it is but the young Miyazaki's visual palette is notably beautiful and the voice work is strong throughout. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com From Up On Poppy Hill is at once old-fashioned and innovative, an exquisite evocation of Yokohama in 1963 that dares to treat teenagers with both gravity and grace. Michael Sragow-Orange County Register The film shows the younger Miyazaki going off in a new, slightly older-skewing direction while still firmly working in the gentle hand-drawn style with which the old man has been dazzling filmgoers for decades. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Based on the jolly, jazzy score that keeps From Up on Poppy Hill lively, the latest from Studio Ghibli appears to have missed its calling as a Broadway musical. Matt Pais-RedEye With its modest story and lack of cute magical furballs, From Up on Poppy Hill is a tad too uneventful and prosaic to match the best of Studio Ghibli but it's lovely all the same. Jason Anderson-The Grid | |

Spring Breakers Movie Review | |
| Neon bright and all raw energy, Spring Breakers is a pulsating paradox of a movie, both a tangerine dream and a cultural reality check, a pop artifact that simultaneously exploits and explores the shallowness of pop artifacts. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Korine's story is a searing indictment of today's hedonistic, nihilistic youth, and his script is loaded with sharp, telling dialogue that exposes the rotten moral cores of its characters. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star The film stands, overall, as one of the director's richer provocations ... Anthony Lane-New Yorker Once a year, St. Petersburg is awash with thoughtless, unpleasant people making poor decisions. This spring, Korine is one of them. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post An authentically cracked expression of the crazy, conflicting signals bombarding today's teenagers. Tom Charity-CNN.com Korine gestures toward social criticism, but essentially this is just an hour and a half of bongs [and] beers... thinly dressed as Natural Born Killers. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Bolstered by a pulsating techno score, Korine fills the screen with attitude and energy to spare in his most mainstream effort to date. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Garish, goofy, leering and nasty, it's meant to be hypnotic, but winds up nearly unwatchable. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion The message seems to be that spring break can turn girls gone wild into girls gone killing. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com It is a parade of bare breasts, writhing bottoms and street gang exhibitionism, tied together with a Girls Gone Wild sensibility and made by a director looking for something resonant in the depraved rites of spring. Jay Stone-Canada.com Far more than meets the eye in Spring Breakers. Charles Koplinski-Illinois Times Irredeemably toxic. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy ...an objective portrait of the way that popular culture has virtually obliterated the possibility for American youth to experience something without a numbing deluge of media references and contexts. Todd Gilchrist-Cinematical The movie has a couple of visually interesting sequences outlining the sad, frenetic, barf-flecked reality of spring break. Otherwise, Spring Breakers is boring. Liz Braun-Jam! Movies A co-ed flesh-fest with a hazy, dream-like vibe and abstract narrative which rarely settles, it's like Terrence Malick directing a Girls Gone Wild video. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor The subject of the film is the perversion of youth, and its greatest achievement (if one can call it that) is how it somehow manages to pander to a youth audience while also cinematically chiding them. James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk If there's a precedent, it may be 'The Devil in Miss Jones' (1973), the pornographic film that imagines hell as a place of eternal sex and no pleasure. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) ...a fantasy version of Steubenville that does nothing to help us understand the sort of aggression that has become such a dominant part of youth culture. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm The latest gonzo endeavor from writer-director Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers manages to be a fever dream, a wet dream, a daydream and a nightmare all in one sitting. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing There are very few movies I regret having wasted my time on or are completely disgusted by. "Spring Breakers" is the definition of disgusting. The characters had no substance and the storyline had nothing to offer. Jolene Mendez-Entertainment Spectrum An audacious, sun-kissed nightmare that folds the director's familiar flair for the surreal into a narrative framework that results in his most coherent (and accessible) picture to date. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide it's spring break kitsch, these girls following the yellow-stained road through Oz, with Franco as The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, AND The Lion. David Poland-Movie City News Spring Breakers is a scathing indictment of a generation led to believe that being a bad-ass and having a screw-it attitude is admirable. It's an all-around stunner.

Soul Kitchen Movie Review | |
| Nicely cast ensembler, centered on a hopelessly disorganized eatery owner and peopled by a weird collection of lovable eccentrics, is pacey entertainment that hardly puts a foot wrong. Derek Elley-Variety Akin perfectly captures the antic pace, eccentric personalities, and fickle fortunes of the restaurant game, and his vision of the Soul Kitchen as an all-night bacchanal is irresistible. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Tasty concoction about a young man's frenetic struggle to keep his offbeat restaurant going. Ray Bennett-Hollywood Reporter Akin's earlier films were dramas, and he hasn't remade himself as a master of comedy, but even when the gags fall flat the vibe is agreeable. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune The slapsticky tone of Akin's latest work is more anarchic than heavenly, but the picture has its screwball charms. John Hartl-Seattle Times Soul Kitchen, which features a soundtrack laden with American soul and R&B standards, was a hit in Europe, and I suspect many American moviegoers will respond to it as well. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Soul Kitchen is a blend of German/Turkish/American sensibilities, a screwball farce that occasionally knocks you mildly off balance. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Baked with a lot of lousy music, weak acting, clichéd characters and tropes, 'Soul Kitchen' fails to display any of Akin's talents found in 'Head-On' or 'The Edge of Heaven' John Esther-UR Chicago Magazine Akin has infused his film with so much goodwill and humanity that you swallow every overcooked twist and turn. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) "Soul Kitchen" is like a restaurant where the vibe is friendly, the music is cool, the people are all interesting, and it's so much fun to hang out at that you easily overlook the fact that the food isn't actually all that good. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Director Fatih Akin?s specialty is illuminating the multi-cultural bustle of modern Germany, and here he brings a light touch to Zinos? catastrophic efforts to stay above water. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune undercooked Chris Barsanti-PopMatters A more genial, crowd-pleasing "art" film hasn't been and almost certainly won't be found in American theaters this year. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Looks like a bit of relaxed down time for filmmaker Fatih Akin after the stressed-out cross-culturalism of The Edge of Heaven. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express It's an odd mishmash, but it's funny and the non-stop music sent me to iTunes to do some serious downloading. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press A funny, sweet and pleasantly goofy exercise in the language of Goethe. Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star A great little character-driven comedy, merely another excellent film from a spectacular director who would be a household name if foreign films got the audience they deserved in this country. Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever There's a breeziness to Soul Kitchen, good performances by Moritz Bleibtreu as Zinos' slippery brother and Birol Unel as his fanatical new chef, and a peppy soundtrack. Shawn Levy-Oregonian Nothing wrong with a tone that mixes tough choices and uneasy laughs. Akin, at the cost of well-written relationships or motivations, splits the difference and botches both.

Philip Roth: Unmasked Movie Review | |
| Frustratingly little light is shed on either Roth's life or his work by this series of interviews with the novelist and a curious selection of admirers. Kyle Smith-New York Post For some 90 minutes, it's pretty much just one guy talking. But what a guy! Stephanie Zacharek-NPR This dully conventional biography doesn't do justice to its subject. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Philip Roth may be unmasked but is only partially revealed in this very personable documentary portrait of one of the leading American literary figures of the past half-century. Todd McCarthy-Hollywood Reporter Roth was dashing, charming, a little dangerous, one of his college friends tells us, but she doesn't need to say it. It's manifest, and it's still true. Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice Ultimately, the film is less of an unmasking of Roth than it is an enigmatic guru's rousing master class. You leave a little bit wiser about yourself. Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York Admiring if less than revealing documentary about one of the great writers of our time. David Noh-Film Journal International Sticking to what's on the page pays off, especially with regard to Roth's undervalued late novels, but also means he has [the filmmakers] just where he wants them. Sam Adams-AV Club In spite of the film's exhaustive chronology, those who deduce from its title that they're in for an unveiling, or an unraveling, of a major literary figure may come out empty-handed.

Margin Call Movie Review | |
| Chandor proffers a cross-section of a Lehman Brothers-esque company as the realisation dawns that sub-prime speculation has brought the market to an ominous tipping point. Ben Walters-Time Out Carefully crafted performances and taut pacing carry the day. Laremy Legel-Film.com Topical drama about the financial crisis lacks the visceral punch to grab an audience. Stephen Farber-Hollywood Reporter A methodical, coolly absorbing boardroom thriller. Justin Chang-Variety Spacey is mesmerizing as Sam, a weary, aging lion losing his appetite for antelope. And Irons plays the villain with magisterial ease. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail It's a realistic take on what happens when high-flying money speculators suddenly hit ground. It's also a great calling card for J.C. Chandor, the writer/director making his feature debut. Peter Howell-Toronto Star In Margin Call, first time writer-director JC Chandor creates a humanizing insight into the lives of the bankers who discovered the fall of the economy. Karen Benardello-We Got This Covered Maybe the financial collapse went down something like this... Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Wily humor and sly observations about the lives of these high rollers are the highlights... It's when those give way to issues of morality that the film disappoints, just a little... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher At times, the film becomes just a series of static, over-determined conversations held in lofty offices and gleaming toilets. Keir Roper-Caldbeck-The Skinny Margin Call can't beat the street, missing the mark in a major way given the massive expectations. Erick Weber-NECN Es casi imposible identificarse con alguno de los personajes. Y el director y guionista lo sabe, por eso dota a su ópera prima de una tensión propia de un thriller, y de una mirada cínica y desencantada. Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total This is Chandor's triumph, and marks him out as someone to keep an eye on in the future. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz Margin Call's a tightly scripted, intensely acted, skillfully directed, character piece that illuminates the depths of moral and ethical corruption at the epicentre of western capitalist society. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Intelligently written and brilliantly portrayed, Margin Call delves into the belly of the beast where consequence is given no conscious and the line between good vs evil is blurred amongst a sea of numbers. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews Taut Wall Street drama takes an inside look at financial and human meltdown. Don Groves-sbs.com.au With a script void of shouting matches and preachy monologues, J.C. Chandor makes the brave decision not to demonise these characters. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane [It] gives us villains that, rather than being sympathetic, are well-argued and reasonable. It gives us heroes that, whilst idealistic, make immoral choices for their own betterment. Margin Call is complex, fury-inspiring, and thoughtful. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix What makes it engaging is that the Oscar nominated screenplay explores the people who make the decisions from a moral point of view. And finds them wanting. Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile It's a fascinating film that reveals much about its characters and provides food for thought for all of us who live in a capitalist society. Greed may be good for the avaricious but it's sure as hell ugly when it comes at any cost Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Smart, sharp and dark, J C Chandor's ensemble drama - eliciting defined, defiant performances from an A-grade cast - summons the spirit of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross. Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald Chandor underplays the human drama and the anonymity of the Wall Street office building so much it risks slipping into doldrums, but the stakes are too great and the actors too sharp to let that happen. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View Strong acting props up this emotionless process film. It is like something David Mamet would make, slick and clever, but lacking in real feeling or drama. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope A commendably sober and even handed drama, that gives the much loathed bankers human faces (tethered to animal metaphors, notably fat cats and dead dogs), while noting the culture of profligacy and flippancy within which they operate. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray | |
