Who's Your Caddy? (2007) 6% EDIT “The movie, of course, is terrible.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 27, 2007 Full Review Laura Smiles (2005) 47% EDIT “It would be difficult to come up with a more clichd indie film than writer-director Jason Ruscio's Laura Smiles.” – Village Voice Jul 24, 2007 Full Review Goya's Ghosts (2006) 30% EDIT “Distinctly Goya in its emphasis on the grotesque, it shows none of the Spaniard's artistic economy.” – Village Voice Jul 17, 2007 Full Review Blood and Tears: The Arab-Israeli Conflict (2006) 50% EDIT “A well-balanced primer on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Blood and Tears takes just over an hour to go from the roots of Zionism to the recent electoral victory of Hamas.” – Village Voice Jun 13, 2007 Full Review Miriam (2006) 14% EDIT “So bad it doesn't ever approach being good, doesn't even go from bad to good and back to bad again -- just bad bad bad, all the way through.” – Village Voice Jun 6, 2007 Full Review I'm Reed Fish (2007) 52% EDIT “Add a bunch of indie bands, find a Braff look-alike (Jay Baruchel) to play the lead, top it off with some obscure animal hybrid -- a zorse instead of a liger -- and you've got writer Reed Fish's can't-fail debut.” – Village Voice May 29, 2007 Full Review Memories of Tomorrow (2006) 86% EDIT “Of course, it's no surprise that a melodrama would be melodramatic. But that doesn't mean it has to be graceless, and grace, that virtue most characteristic of Japanese film, is what Memories of Tomorrow completely lacks.” – Village Voice May 15, 2007 Full Review Looking for an Icon (2007) 60% EDIT “Made to honor the 50th anniversary of the 'World Press Photo of the Year,' this documentary fails as both birthday present and theoretical inquiry.” – Village Voice May 9, 2007 Full Review Missing Victor Pellerin (2006) EDIT “An uncanny, uncategorizable film, neither doc- nor mockumentary, Sophie Deraspe's debut feature shares more in common with Nabokov and Borges than recent fake-docs.” – Village Voice May 1, 2007 Full Review The Collector (2006) 60% EDIT “For a film about obsession, Olympia Stone's biopic is remarkably laid back.” – Village Voice Apr 24, 2007 Full Review Goodbye Momo (2005) 33% EDIT “Though Momo is dedicated to 'the missing children and the children who are coming to save the world,' the most provocative question it asks is whether, with its conspicuous product placement, the film was secretly backed by Coca-Cola.” – Village Voice Apr 17, 2007 Full Review
