The Color Purple (1985) 73% EDIT “The ads describe [the movie] like this: "It's about life. It's about love. It's about us... Share the joy." What director Steven Spielberg apparently didn't want us to "share" was the pain, the bitterness, and the anger that gave Walker's book its power.” – Wall Street Journal May 31, 2023 Full Review Lodz Ghetto (1988) EDIT “[The filmmakers] have woven together historical footage with film they shot in modern-day Lodz with a Polish crew, creating an eerie link between past and present.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986) 58% EDIT “The movie that remains is lovely to look at, but spiritless, a listless coquette. It brings to mind the ads for Calvin Klein’s perfume, Obsession.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 11, 2022 Full Review The Grifters (1990) 92% EDIT “Frears is as good with the small touches as he is with the big ones -- and that means they're great.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Backdraft (1991) 72% EDIT “[Howard] gives the fire fighting scenes a satisfying feel of terror. But the psychological portraits of the fire fighters and the arson mystery that dominate the film are flimsy, like an art student's dutifully crafted reproductions of the great masters.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Vagabond (1985) 100% EDIT “Through this tough, memorable film, Ms. Varda reaches for our humanity with a force that very few movies can muster.” – Wall Street Journal Aug 10, 2022 Full Review The Execution of Wanda Jean (2002) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “Offers an unusual opportunity to observe the inequities in the death penalty, not just the inherent immorality but also the haphazard administration of it and public misperception of how the whole thing works.” – New York Times Sep 5, 2002 Full Review The Believer (2001) 82% 2/5 EDIT “This willfully provocative film portrait offers lots of raging, vulgarity and shock but little insight into the character's psychopathology.” – New York Times May 16, 2002 Full Review Shot in the Heart (2001) 83% 4/5 EDIT “A bleak, haunting movie.” – New York Times Mar 27, 2002 Full Review Promises (2001) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Demonstrates the unusual power of thoughtful, subjective filmmaking.” – New York Times Mar 14, 2002 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% EDIT “The most imaginative movie to come along in ages.” – Wall Street Journal Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
