The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) Chris Barsanti A passionate and pitiless piece of work that fails only near the end when its internal political dogmatism outstrips and undercuts the story itself.

Twelve and Holding (2005) Chris Barsanti With his modestly impressive young actors and moody lens, Cuesta finds the normal in the extreme.

3/5
The Departed (2006) Chris Barsanti It's a testament to the rest of the cast that Nicholson's self-worshipping train-wreck of a performance doesn't sink the entire film.

3/5
Pretty in Pink (1986) Chris Barsanti It is perhaps too much to ask that a John Hughes film bear the standard for class warfare in the 1980s, especially when the film was so tone-deaf in depicting its subculture's milieu.

Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) Chris Barsanti Instead of producing an inflammatory piece of agitprop, Paine's film is more like an especially edgy Saturn commercial.

The Road to Guantanamo (2006) Chris Barsanti It's not enough to simply show what these men went through, we need to be made to understand it, something that The Road to Guantanamo is sadly unable to do.

A Prairie Home Companion (2006) Chris Barsanti A perplexingly kooky comedy about death, [it] manages to do what Altman has almost never done before: allow a different artist their own voice.

Clean (2004) Chris Barsanti ... sharply delineated, as though cutting its images from the chaotic muck of life with a chisel. In short, it's a very clean piece of work.

Somersault (2004) Chris Barsanti ... says more about the potent mix of restless sexuality and troubled adolescence than a shelf-full of young adult novels.

Friends With Money (2006) Chris Barsanti There's rarely a moment in this film that feels wrong, barely a moment wasted, and yet it all drifts rather serenely to a stop, with little to mark its passage.

4/5
V for Vendetta (2005) Chris Barsanti This is pure post-9/11 Orwell, a great, angry screed against scapegoating and fearmongering in the seemingly endless war on terrorism.

3.5/5
Freedomland (2006) Chris Barsanti ...a rare instance of big-budget adult drama in a business that seems about ready to give up on such things entirely.

Jarhead (2005) Chris Barsanti This is not a film that wrestles with itself to determine whether it's anti- or pro-war ... it doesn't even try.
