8 ...a brief but fascinating glimpse into one of the harshest lands and seascapes on Earth.
8 ...a wonderful movie about the power of love and imagination, and how a young boy with Down syndrome is defined by both.
8 ...combines the best elements of fantasy movies with the best elements of action-adventure stories.
6 It almost goes without saying that, by its very premise, this an interesting documentary.
6 There's lush animation, incredible detail, the sensitive tween/teen who doesn't fit in at school, coming-of-age angst and melodrama, and earnest emotion.
6 ...a heady coming-of-age anime that imagines an alternate reality and alternate universes.
8 Hazel Doupe is perfect as Char, a teen growing up in a bleak Dublin suburb -- bullied at school and contending with a mentally ill mother at home...
6 ...a fairly typical action noir comedy in the tradition of Guy Ritchie movies.
8 ...an engaging coming-of-age dramedy with enough story and acting talent to overcome the familiar aspects of this "hero's journey."
10 The dust storms, the country music on the radio, the nuance and subtlety in the performances all create a mood and production that seems effortless.
6 ...a slow-paced indie drama with superb acting from a talented cast.
6 Finally: a romcom for gamers.
6 There's as much of a focus on the story as there is on effectively capturing all the top-speed chases.
8 ...the movie does an effective job of using the deep divisions in that war to heighten the tension of the story.
6 ...an entertaining medieval fantasy movie.
10 The action is unrelenting, and the car chase scene alone is a masterpiece in filmmaking. The French Connection set the standard for cop-themed dramas for decades to come, and it's easy to see why.
8 There are exaggerated archetypes, exaggerated symbolism (...), and exaggerated fashion choices (...), and it all somehow works.
6 The acting and chemistry are very good, and the movie somehow keeps a brisk pace.
8 ...an incredibly powerful film about the horrific lengths one man went to survive Auschwitz.
8 ...raises uncomfortable questions about the lengths people are willing to go to attain freedom, equality, and justice, which just makes an already fast-paced action movie that much better.
6 ...there's a rawness to this unorthodox faith-based story that's likely to be a bit much for faith-based viewers who are accustomed to a much more sanitized reality conveyed in their entertainment.
8 ...takes the proverbial "web of intrigue" to new levels.
6 ...the charm and energy to the story is infectious and the acting is fantastic across the board.
6 ...an unrelenting mix of hyper music and psychedelic dream imagery, live-action, and anime.
