Watch Lung Neaw Visits His Neighbours Movie HD Streaming


We follow Lung Neaw, living off the land, visiting neighbours, in a world of simple realities and compassion for his environment and fellow villagers. We see the basic truths of a humble man, another man making our world turn, to a better revolution. At the age of sixty, Lung Neaw (Uncle Neaw) finds himself retired from his life as a rice farmer in a small village in the Northern Thai Province of Chiang Mai. Away from the chatter and noise of recent political upheaval, in the capital Bangkok, and the demand for democratic reforms, we follow Lung Neaw in his daily life. We see Lung Neaw living off the land that he has known since he was born, fishing, hunting and foraging for herbs and vegetation in the open fields and forest nearby his home. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Lung Neaw Visits His Neighbours

[It] rewards concentration once you adjust to its glacial pace and its radically minimalist aesthetic.
Stephen Holden-New York Times

This epic-length Thai documentary takes the observational jungle stillness so hypnotic in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's work and doubles the bet.

Strong! chronicles an athlete's struggle to defend her champion status as her lifetime weightlifting career inches towards its inevitable end. Cheryl Haworth defies categories. A 12th generation patriotic American, a visual artist, and, since age 14, America's top Olympic weightlifter, she is an elite at the international level. A formidable figure in American weightlifting. Haworth is ranked well above all men and women on Team USA. But at 5 foot 8 inches and weighing over 300 pounds, she doesn't easily fit into standard chairs, clothing sizes, or pre-conceptions. As the 2008 Beijing Olympics approach, Haworth struggles with injuries, the end of her career, and the difficult task of re-defining herself and building a sense of confidence that she can bring with her as she leaves the sport that has given her a sense of pride. -- (C) Official Site

Review For The Runway

Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic

Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter

Review For 30 Beats

This umpteenth variation on Schnitzler's classic play La Ronde fails to arouse.
Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter

In "30 Beats," the conversational foreplay is hopelessly flaccid.
Sara Stewart-New York Post

Despite the presence of such actors as Lee Pace, Jennifer Tilly, Justin Kirk, Thomas Sadoski and Paz de la Huerta, there is no character insight allowed by the bumper-car storytelling.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times

That's all that happens: drift from one unrealized, uninteresting character to another.
Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle

"30 Beats" goes on to a meandering orgasm of multiple, less-than-dangerous liaisons meant to titillate, fascinate and illuminate. But once the sweat dries, it irritates.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

This wisp of a movie, inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's play "La Ronde," offers only hints of the complicated personalities behind the characters' sleek, well-toned surfaces.
Stephen Holden-New York Times

A date movie for narcoleptics.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

As an experiment, 30 Beats is an uneven, if not entirely uninteresting, failure. In its attempt to be modern and titillating, it actually distances and confounds.
Dan Kaufman-Paste Magazine

The characters are props in what's essentially a lame screenwriting exercise.
Robert Levin-amNewYork

A sexy, smart and sophisticated exploration of sex, love and everything in between.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru

A clever storytelling structure can easily be reduced to a mere gimmick when there's no story of worth to tell.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com

[VIDEO ESSAY] Marginally enhanced by the presence of a few experienced actors (Jennifer Tilly, Paz De La Huerta, Lee Pace), writer-director Alexis Lloyd's Manhattan-set sexual roundelay is a shoddy feature debut.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

The actors barely seem to dip their toes into these scenes, even when they're involved in a ménage a trois or an elaborate bondage scheme.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine

Where the original play "La Ronde" was a social satire about the transmission of venereal disease, "30 Beats" is a sickly stepchild.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

While it lends itself to some interesting insight on the politics of non-exclusive, ****-buddy dynamics, its characters are ultimately too one-dimensional and their dialogue too theatrical to sustain an involving cinematic experience.
Diego Costa-Slant Magazine

Unfortunately, the filmmaker mistakes inertia for sensuality, keeping the material in a frustrating state of paralysis.
Brian Orndorf-BrianOrndorf.com

A heat wave draws a group of New Yorkers into a ring of seduction and desire in this shoddy exercise marked by posturing and pretention.

Watch Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai Movie HD Streaming


From visionary auteur Takashi Miike comes the story of a mysterious samurai who arrives at the doorstep of his feudal lord, requesting an honorable death by ritual suicide in his courtyard. The lord threatens him with the brutal tale of Motome, a desperate young ronin who made a similar request with ulterior motives, only to meet a grisly end. Undaunted, the samurai begins to tell a story of his own, with an ending no one could see coming. With stunning cinematography and gripping performances, Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai is a thrilling exploration of revenge, honor, and individuality in the face of oppressive power. -- (C) Tribeca Film

Review For Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai

Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai reveals yet another facet of this always-unpredictable filmmaker: a flair for compassionate, humane melodrama.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald

A quiet, narratively layered period drama with a focus squarely on character.
Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic

Miike can't seem to get enough of Hanshiro's heroics. That's not just visual excess, though.
Mark Feeney-Boston Globe

A 3-D epic that, despite its title, is more of a soap opera than a swordplay thriller.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post

It's an indelible picture of a cold-hearted ruling class that has allowed self-interest and hypocrisy to override its own humanity.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News

Miike brings a formal, elegant restraint to his usual flair for wild theatrics.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times

HK:DOAS is a beautifully artistic, yet unflinching revenge film; distorted by unnecessary 3D and 45 minutes of additional runtime.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show

A cinematic work of art, presenting a world in which humanity is banished in favour of the rituals of an ever-warring people
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

It's not about Bushido, it's about its representation.
Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central

Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai is another solid rather than flamboyant film from Japan's master of extreme Takashi Miike.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org

Hara-Kiri may be a lesser Miike work, but it's still a (literally) gutsy exercise in prolonged narrative recursiveness.
Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle

Miike's remake is actually less intense than the original.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

Pointless 3D, and with the way the story was told, there were no surprises. It does however feature the most horrific suicide I've watched on film.
Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review

In turn, cruel, savage, humane, joyful and finally devastating and visually transcendent. Originally in 3-D.
James Verniere-Boston Herald

The tragedy Miike aims for somehow eludes him within these under-lit interiors and shooting through netting that often blurs facial expressions
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com

The movie is tellingly named after the blunt, informal term for the ritual (hara-kiri means "cut belly") and effectively deglorifies these "honorable" ritual suicides.
Miles Bowe-Boston Phoenix

A worthy remake of the 1962 classic at just the right time, given the authoritarianism that led to the Fukushima disaster.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews

There are many more enlightening and entertaining films out there about ancient Japanese traditions that are far more deserving of your time.

Watch The Queen of Versailles Movie HD Streaming


The Queen of Versailles is a character-driven documentary about a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream. The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff. -- (C) Magnolia

Review For The Queen of Versailles

It's priceless.
Cath Clarke-Time Out

Seriously, if this was the American Dream, couldn't we have come up with something better?
Tom Long-Detroit News

This rags-to-riches-to-almost-rags-again queen has an endearing knack for looking on the bright side. You find yourself, by the end, wishing her well.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times

"The Queen of Versailles" is funny, sad, infuriating, instructive. It's the American Dream inflated to ridiculous extremes, until it bursts.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic

More than a social morality tale, this is a character study, with the title well chosen.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail

"The Queen of Versailles" ought to be required viewing for anyone who blames the rich for yanking the rug out from under America's economy.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday

Strangely entertaining and revealing documentary about a culture obsessed with money and people aspiring to a life they can't afford. Greed is good once again if you can borrow enough money to consume all you desire. Mind the debt gap.
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie

...their plight plays like the financial crisis in miniature. Or perhaps it's in macro.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm

My problem with this riches to rags Americana story is that I felt no sympathy for the featured self-absorbed materialists.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

If you've ever wondered how that one percent of the richest lives, this film will show you how one family lives (they are probably back in the 99 percent now), and it ain't pretty.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

Both the quintessential documentary about the Great Recession, and quite possibly the most Schadenfreude-filled movie of all time.
Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell

A documentary about a rich couple riding the waves of wealth and greed and then plunging downwards.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

A brilliant biopic which elicits an emotional response that's the epitome of schadenfreude!
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze

A powerhouse documentary, the film shifts from simply being a fly-on-the-wall look at material decadence and moral decay into a study of a family trying to hold itself together during a trying period.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing

a repetitive exercise in schadenfreude, and the Siegels don't do much to alter that... The Queen of Versailles leaves viewers with one feeling about the Siegels: Let them eat stale cake.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times

Documentaries are rarely as hilarious as this one. Well, the first half of it at least
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com

[E]nds up an ever less slightly ungenerous look at the .01 percent than it might have been... But this is still a brutal film from many angles.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

One of the great unsayable truths about the American dream is that it is a bit of a Ponzi scheme ... our system admits a glimmer of hope that anyone, no matter how lowborn, can rise to the top.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Extremely funny and revealing ...
Philip French-Observer [UK]

[Siegel] is now suing Greenfield for "misrepresentation". Well, I know whose side I'm on.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London

She epitomises a Western culture struggling to wean itself off debt.
Grant Rollings-Sun Online

Greenfield's film is bathed in Florida sunshine, adding to the sensation that we're watching Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with a Marxist punchline.
Tara Brady-Irish Times

Never has grotesque wealth looked so unenviable, or its removal been so entertaining, as in this garishly watchable riches-to-rags documentary ...
Steve Rose-Guardian [UK]

[Siegel] ultimately emerges as someone who belongs more in The Little House on the Prairie: ever cheerful, and triumphantly unimpeachable.
Antonia Quirke-Financial Times

The temptation to be moralistic must have been overpowering, yet Greenfield finally manages to summon sympathy for people who at first seem vain, selfish and greedy.
David Gritten-Daily Telegraph

Prepare to be shocked, disgusted and compelled.
Andy Tweddle-Little White Lies

Twenty-five years after rising to international acclaim in Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring, Daniel Auteuil returns to the world of Marcel Pagnol for his first work as director with this celebrated remake of the 1940s classic. Auteuil stars as the eponymous well-digger Pascale, a widower living with his six daughters in the Provence countryside at the start of World War I. His eldest, Patricia (the luminous Astrid Bergès-Frisbey), has returned home from Paris to help raise her sisters, and Pascale dreams of marrying her off to his loyal assistant Felipe (Kad Merad). But when she's impregnated by a wealthy young pilot (Nicolas Duvauchelle) who promptly abandons her for the frontlines, Pascale is left to contend with the consequences. -- (C) Kino Lorber

Review For The Well Digger's Daughter

"The Well-Digger's Daughter" isn't a mind-blower; it's not supposed to be. It's a light lunch with an old friend whom it's good to see again.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Auteuil's direction is a lot like his acting -- well-mannered and likable, yet staid and ultimately inconsequential.
Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader

To call "The Well Digger's Daughter" an old-fashioned film is to pay it a compliment. Here is a love story embedded in traditional values.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

It's classical moviemaking of a sort rarely seen now, a love story of surprising joy with rounded, flawed but humane characters.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

What resonates is a sense of humanity that sometimes gets lost in films with less regard for traditional storytelling, or respect for simple emotion.
John Anderson-Newsday

Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Patricia and Jean-Pierre Darroussin are almost enchanting, but it is Auteuil, entering a new career as mature actor-director, whom we want to cheer.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

Remake lacks the power of context
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit

The countryside of high Provence is a major character all its own.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

"The Well-Digger's Daughter" is perhaps a bit too sentimental. But the performances are so heartfelt that its occasional excesses are easily forgiven.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Think of it as a pretty good, French-language bucolic entry in PBS' "Masterpiece" franchise and you'll be fine.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Strong pedigree pushes 'Well Digger's Daughter' to the top.
James Verniere-Boston Herald

The jewel at the heart of the piece is Berges-Frisbey -- the ravishing mermaid Syrena in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."
Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals

Despite a verbose script and the kneejerk sexism of Pascal, the visual beauty and narrative simplicity make the film a pleasure.
Peg Aloi-Boston Phoenix

I mean, if egocentric, short-sighted, emotionally crippling fathers aren't going to fight for their daughters' hymens WHO WILL!?

Review For Union Square

It is intended for an audience that is willing to take a journey without knowing the destination.
Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic

The kind of character-driven movie about whacked-out characters we need more of (the characters and the movies).
John Anderson-Newsday

Mira Sorvino is very good -- too good -- at playing a very annoying person in Nancy Savoca's Union Square.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

Propelled by a rangy, superbly colorful performance by Mira Sorvino, the film grabs hold of the viewer from the jump and snowballs toward a deftly moving and concise third act.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times

It doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is - a slice-o'-life domestic drama/dark comedy of manners savvy about its limits and sufficiently disciplined to keep its convolutions to a credible, impactful minimum.
James Adams-Globe and Mail

Sorvino brings a spark, but neither she nor Patti LuPone, in an amusing cameo, can overcome the clockwork-like plod to the end.
Sara Stewart-New York Post

A half-sketched tale of familial floundering, Union Square is a suffocating and pantomimed drama that makes an especially unconvincing and headlong dive into sentimentality in its finale.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness

Long stretches of "Union Square" are kind of irksome to watch, as you just have to wait for all the bickering and chatter to calm down in order for the true drama to begin. But once we get to the emotional boxing, we see how hurt these women really are.
Witney Seibold-CraveOnline

Lucy's general unpleasantness is a hurdle the film can't clear.
Nick Schager-Paste Magazine

The film is undone by the fact that both protagonists are obnoxious caricatures.
Robert Levin-amNewYork

Just when it seems to be going [for] an amusing family Thanksgiving comedy, it zings sharply (and awkwardly) into exposing raw emotions from painful wounds sisters share.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com

A solid performance piece for two actresses that don't often get meaty material to tear into.
Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity

Often funny and emotionally observant study of contrasting sisters has good performances, especially by Tammy Blanchard and, in a tiny but telling role, the transcendent Patti LuPone.
David Noh-Film Journal International

Character-driven drama about two estranged sisters who reach a point where they must choose either reconciliation or permanent separation from each other.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

With its small cast and focus on performance, Union Square promises to be a welcome showcase for Sorvino, and the early rhymes with Miss Linda are intriguingly open-ended.

Review For Blind Revenge

Even bit turns from Miriam Margolyes and Elaine Paige aren't enough to make "Blind Revenge" much more than a stagey misfire.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times

With its unlovely DV aesthetic and cheesy midi-synth score, the film has clearly been put together on the cheap. Yet it's also severely lacking in the fundamentals.
David Jenkins-Time Out

It's like turning on a lamp in a room that looked just fine by candlelight.
Michael Nordine-L.A. Weekly

Conti, an actor as sturdily reliable as a Volvo, delivers a brittle, curmudgeonly turn, but the story's stiff and the denouement as ordinary as a piece of A4.
Simon Crook-Empire Magazine

A Closed Book is directed by Raoul Ruiz, a "revered member of the European avant-garde" who decided to tackle "the Anglo-Saxon tradition" - with execrable results.
Kevin Maher-Times [UK]

Eccentric Chilean director Raoul Ruiz has rifled through the Hammer bag of horror tricks and come up with a relentlessly silly, oddly diverting yarn.
Xan Brooks-Guardian [UK]

The film feels less like a thriller than an aesthete's tease, and one with a disappointingly stiff, Europuddingy flavour.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph

Watching this two-hander feels very much like sitting through a play and although it's a well-acted one, A Closed Book's amateur charms may be lost on moviegoers expecting a lot more flash for their cash.
Chris Prince-Sky Movies

It's all rather mannered and the final denouement is disappointingly banal.
Philip Kemp-Total Film

The cat-and-mouse plot fizzles out long before its lacklustre finale, which is a pity as Conti is watchable in an all-too-rare starring role.
Jeremy Aspinall-Radio Times

A Closed Book should be locked, shut in a safe, then thrown into the sea so it is never seen again.
Grant Rollings-Sun Online

Events gradually turn Gothic, with things going bump in the night, as they often do in films containing blind characters or set in country houses, so here the fun is doubled, and it all culminates in a final twist that has to be seen to be disbelieved.
Leo Robson-Financial Times

The plot is stagey, and the denouement ridiculous, but its sheer unlikeliness is what also keeps you hanging in there.
Anthony Quinn-Independent

This award-winning film recounts the role of a white man in a defining moment of the American civil rights movement: the 1968 Black Power Salute. When Tommie Smith & John Carlos raised their fists on the victory dais following the Olympic 200 metre final in Mexico City the repercussions were immediate. They were banished from the US olympic team and were subject to abuse and death threats on their return home. The third man on the dais had a similar experience, Australian silver medalist Peter Norman, who as punishment for his support of Smith and Carlos was reprimanded by the authorities and never ran for his country again. With never before seen interviews and footage, Salute is an inspiring and timely portrait of three competitors who became brothers. -- (C) Arrow

An affectionate and affecting tribute.
Tom Huddleston-Time Out

The film makes excellent use of archival footage and has a heartwarming, spirited atmosphere, but also tends toward repetitiveness.
Russell Edwards-Variety

Powerful stuff, remembering what happened afterwards in America and Australia and also that dozens of Mexican protesters were killed by the police at the time.
Derek Malcolm-This is London

The IOC furthers its reputation for frigid pomposity in Matt Norman's documentary about black-power-saluting athletes.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

A moving and worthwhile tale.
Ashley Clark-Little White Lies

Fascinating, well constructed and extremely moving.
Jennifer Tate-ViewLondon

A comprehensive, well-structured deconstruction of an important socio-political moment.
Shaun Munro-What Culture

A powerful and poignant theme, but Salute would perhaps have worked better as a TV documentary.
Simon Crook-Empire Magazine

A valuable reminder of how athletes can take a courageous stand.
Tom Dawson-Total Film

This wonderful humanitarian story -- especially relevant on the eve of the Beijing Olympics -- deserves to be told and it's a bit of a surprise it hasn't been told before, while Peter Norman was still alive.
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

On one level, it is a story of real idealism, the youthful sort that the Olympics are supposed to be about; on another, it's about the corruption and betrayal of those ideals in the way the Olympics are actually run.
Paul Byrnes-Sydney Morning Herald

Yorgos Lanthimos's follow-up to his Academy Award nominee (and cult sensation) Dogtooth is another darkly comic, absurdist vision of (in)human relationships, focusing on a mysterious underground organization that helps mourners get over their losses by impersonating the deceased. -- (C) Kino Lorber Unrated

Review For Alps

The reality it takes place in is heightened just enough to make the concept feel ironic, but then all attempt at genuine sentiment subsequently falls flat.
David Jenkins-Time Out

An hour and a half of darkening absurdism.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe

The film takes some deciphering, but once a viewer cracks its code "Alps" opens up into something expansive and rich.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times

The movie contains some of the same elements that made [Dogtooth] so startling but they tend to float around rather than coalesce into a singular perspective.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader

A film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

A strange story. A strange world. And strange characters doing even stranger things.
David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle

Alps significantly improves (or at least expands) on the surrealist exercises of Yorgos Lanthimos's predecessor, the Oscar-nominated Dogtooth. Though you'd never know it by its rote dumping to home video.
John Semley-Slant Magazine

Emphatically weird, watchable and niche.
-Scotsman

It's hard to see what, if anything, Lanthimos is saying about modern Greece. And without that clear focus, the film feels a bit off-piste.
Miles Fielder-The List

What does it mean?
Philip French-Observer [UK]

From the Greek filmmakers behind the acclaimed anti-thriller Dogtooth, this fiendishly inventive drama is just as complex and telling.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com

Lanthimos is such a distinctive film-maker and nothing he does is without interest - but this is a misfire.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

The movie's morbidly funny once you get the hang of it, and climaxes deftly, but for too long Lanthimos feels like he's stalling for no especial purpose.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph

Requires multiple viewings to pick this one apart.
Philip Concannon-Little White Lies

Lanthimos delivers another heady dose of weirdness. Loopier than a frog sandwich but rather wonderful.
Simon Crook-Empire Magazine

Absurdly amusing (in places), rigorously directed, and more interesting on an intellectual level than an emotional one.
Tom Dawson-Total Film

Helps make the case that Lanthimos might be a worthy, more entomological successor to Luis Buñuel.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

Lanthimos' vision still compels and challenges, but Alps offers a big idea in place of a better movie.
Matt Pais-RedEye

...registers less as a drama than as a filmed scientific experiment.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm

This cinematic experience was weirdly fascinating.

Watch Farewell, My Queen Movie HD Streaming


Farewell, My Queen marks the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot and brilliantly captures the passions, debauchery, occasional glimpses of nobility and ultimately the chaos that engulfed the court of Marie Antoinette in the final days before the full-scale outbreak of the Revolution. Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie's ladies-in-waiting, seemingly an innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress's special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path. With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, this is a period film at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions. -- (C) Cohen

Review For Farewell, My Queen

Jacquot has chosen wisely in casting Léa Seydoux in the key role of Sidonie, whose luminous but watchful eyes suggest a soul wise beyond her years.
Bruce Demara-Toronto Star

The details of the plot are unimportant: that is the main point made by the skillful director, Benoît Jacquot. It is the slowness with which they realize what is happening that fascinates.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

Although it was shot at Versailles, and its actors are dressed to the 18th-century nines, Farewell, My Queen has a loose, reportorial intimacy about it.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer

As we follow her through the monarchy's abrupt collapse, "Farewell, My Queen" gives us intimate, unflaggingly energetic history as seen from the servants' quarters.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

The foreboding and chaos contrast neatly with the lavish costumes and sets.
Stephanie Merry-Washington Post

We know what will happen, of course, but Jacquot still manages to create tension, as well as a semi-soap opera, among the let-them-cake-eaters of post-Enlightenment France.
John Anderson-Newsday

The complex triangle at the dark heart of his film, set against the surging social change of a nation, makes for both a superb historical epic and a compelling human drama.
Simon Foster-sbs.com.au

The film shows both sides of the social spectrum within the court akin to "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey," but with bloodthirsty rabble at the door.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews

Jacquot masterfully gets across the politics, jealousies and jockeying of court life...and Romain Winding has achieved the beautiful look of natural lighting in lush interiors and shadowy corridors with the director's first foray into digital filmmaking.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews

Diane Kruger shows the youthful monarch quickly evolve from a sheltered, near-oblivious untouchable to a marked woman whose life and institution are crumbling at her feet.
Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine

By the time Seydoux realizes what's in store for her and her queen, we're almost as surprised as she is.
Michael Nordine-Willamette Week

Diane Kruger talks about landing the role of a lifetime -- Marie Antoinette -- and how she prepped to play her.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

History doesn't let us feel much sympathy for Marie Antoinette. But "Farewell, My Queen" almost has us rooting for her and those who love her by its finale.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

An urgent look at the fall of Versailles
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit

It was a very pleasant surprise to find that this was far from your average Marie Antoinette biopic.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

As a portrait of a world ending, it's frequently compelling stuff.
Chris Foran-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

At 99 minutes, "Farewell My Queen" provides a glimpse into the early stages of the French Revolution, told from the perspective of those who mostly lost their heads because they were too blind to see beyond their own wants and needs.
Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

Beniot Jacquot [...] compliments immersive storytelling with a cast full of painstakingly authentic performances.
Chris Stuckmann-Moviedex

The period detail is exquisite, and the motivations and emotions of the characters need no translation for the modern viewer.
Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters

"Farewell, My Queen" is a layer cake of royal pleasures, rote protocols and revolutionary politics. For skeptics who thought this story had grown stale, let them eat their words.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The movie ultimately has something potent to say about the ways ordinary people, caught up in history's waves, can either drown or surf.

Review For Trishna

Trishna engages the potent collisions of the rural and the urban, the poor and the rich, and considers how these interactions unfold in a romance and how they might also destroy it.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

While the film never delves deep enough into its characters' emotions to be truly spellbinding, it's well worth seeing.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Winterbottom has complete control of the film's look and feel, but the story seems to run away from him.
Tom Long-Detroit News

A rare unsatisfying swerve from an otherwise reliably provocative career.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post

"Trishna" works largely on the strength of Winterbottom's clever updates of a century-old story.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday

A loose but nonetheless pretty faithful recasting of Hardy's penultimate tragedy, Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
James Adams-Globe and Mail

Trishna is an admirable effort, but it's too detached and disinterested in the viewer to make an impact. This is a tough film to get through, and even if one makes it to the end, there's little reward to be found.
Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered

An intriguing addition to the work of an erratic but always interesting filmmaker.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion

Hit the books instead.
Grae Drake-Movies.com

Things start off promising, but, by the time the final reel rolls, Winterbottom's too-detached style seems to be willfully wallowing in oversimplified misery.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Winterbottom's socially conscious, contemporary adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles is first-rate.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

Freida Pinto is a goddess among us, but this set-in-India version of Tess of the D'Ubervilles is just so-so.
Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer

...Winterbottom's most gorgeous film to date.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters

Freida Pinto is so incredibly pretty in "Trishna." And so incredibly boring.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

It's an ambitious and evocative effort derailed in part by a passive lead performance that keeps the material at an emotional distance.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

Pinto's piercingly expressive eyes tell the whole story--the excitement of not only first love but the new, and that innocent hope and romantic idealism slowly, inevitably bled dry.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com

Rather than a strong script, Winterbottom relies on a hyperactive camera, as if he were trying to recreate an updated dramatic classic by way of a music video.
Kimberly Gadette-Doddle

A nice inversion of the star-cross'd lovers trope.
Eugene Novikov-Film Blather

The performers seem apathetic about their fates, and the tragedy unfolds with a perfunctory arbitrariness.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

Nicholas was 13 the day he disappeared (June 13, 1994). He would have been 16 and 8 months when he was reported found in Spain (October 7, 1997)... In 1994 a 13-year-old boy disappears without a trace from San Antonio, Texas. Three and a half years later he is found alive, thousands of miles away in a village in southern Spain with a story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not quite as it seems. The boy bears many of the same distinguishing marks he always had, but why does he now have a strange accent? Why does he look so different? And why doesn't the family seem to notice these glaring inconsistencies? It's only when an investigator starts asking questions that this strange tale takes an even stranger turn... -- (C) Indomina

Review For The Imposter

In the annals of forged identity flicks, this is a towering Everest, dwarfing the deceivers in the likes of Catch Me If You Can and F for Fake.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail

This is edge-of-your-seat stuff and the difficulty is in the telling of the tale. To give any of this film away is a crime. You simply have to see it for yourself.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star

The most fascinating aspect of the movie is why the missing boy's family believed the imposter's story.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald

You may begin to wonder if you aren't being conned by the movie yourself.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader

You couldn't make this stuff up - and no one would buy it as fiction. But as a documentary, it's a different matter.
Trevor Johnston-Time Out

Beverly Dollarhide, Nicholas's mother, says of the period after her son's disappearance, "My main goal in life at that time was not to think." Apparently, the filmmakers have taken a cue from her.
Mark Feeney-Boston Globe

The Imposter at every stage reveals another layer of the bizarreness of which human beings are capable.
Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground

The Imposter has many lessons; for the rest of us, it reinforces the golden rule: never assume anything about anyone
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

The revelations never stop. The title tells us what the story is about, but it is impossible to imagine the complex elements that involve not only the central character, but those who accept him as the person he pretends to be
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile

The film looks like many a television crime series, and is as manipulative. With no disclaimer or separation, its method screams that this is full honest fact.
Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Few films in the past year have matched the narrative cunning of Bart Layton's captivating true-crime documentary...
Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz

With his first feature doc, Layton proves himself not only adept at seeking out such true-life tales, but also telling them with the flair of a naturally gifted storyteller.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide

This documentary film, like 'Catfish' a couple of years ago, is about a clever impersonator, but 'The Impostor' is an even stranger and more serious story, and by the time you get near the end of this bizarre tale, it gets even stranger than that.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

A gripping thriller, heartbreaking family drama, and fascinating true-crime saga all in one package.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy

Intriguing fictionalized true-crime psychological thriller doc.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

... one of the most involving and compelling documentaries to come around in quite some time.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

A mesmerizing con-artist comedy and a chilling true crime thriller...
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

You won't believe this true story
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit

Superbly crafted documentary about a missing teenager who mysteriously resurfaces after three years, prompting a riveting, better-than-fiction Cold Case-style drama.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

If only the movie didn't almost glamorise Bourdin's action, they'd have been onto a real masterpiece.
Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire

If you are a fan of true crime stories or the workings of the human mind, The Imposter will blow you away.
Adam Ross-The Aristocrat

... both interesting and repellent.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review

An unnerving experience and a brilliant piece of documentary filmmaking that peels back the layers on one of the most perplexing stories
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie

Layton layers "The Imposter" with powerful images in the dramatic re-creations, as well as a brooding soundscape and a concise pacing that distributes its information with the reserve of a good mystery writer.

Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena by detecting what Matheson calls "red lights," the subtle tricks behind every staged supernatural occurrence. But when the legendary blind psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro)comes out of retirement after 30 years, his once-fearless adversary Matheson warns Buckley to back off, fearing reprisal from the powerful Silver. Determined to discredit Silver, Buckley and his star student (Elizabeth Olsen) use every tool at their disposal to uncover the truth behind the charismatic, spoon-bending, mind reader. But Buckley is forced to reexamine his own core beliefs as his quest builds to a mind-blowing conclusion in this taut psychological thriller from award-winning writer and director Rodrigo Cortés. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Red Lights

A clever thriller, bolstered by three great performances.
Bruce Demara-Toronto Star

The film doesn't offer the sense of release, or of surprise, that it seems to take for granted.
Adam Litovitz-Globe and Mail

"The X-Files" is long gone. Hail and farewell. But its spirit lives on in "Red Lights." Hail, hail.
Soren Anderson-Seattle Times

By strict definition, any movie featuring Robert De Niro as a spoon-bending clairvoyant superstar ought to hold a few cards up its sleeve.
Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle

A lot of talent comes up empty in "Red Lights," a thriller that doesn't thrill.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic

With the sort of last-minute plot twist that sank M. Night Shyamalan's career, Red Lights comes to an unexpected, risible end.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald

It's crushingly disappointing when it falls apart so completely in the second half.
Andy Lea-Daily Star

Cillian Murphy talks about escaping Hollywood's "villain" trap.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Red Lights is proof that Rodrigo Cortés knows how to shoot a film and make it look gorgeous. It's also proof that a cast list as strong as this one still can't overcome a weak script that fizzles out by the second act.
Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered

It almost feels like an occult thriller that has slowly transformed into a comedy -- and you didn't even notice.
Scott Weinberg-FEARnet

Red Lights has a decent premise, but the script lets the actors down. While it has interesting twists and bucks convention, the story is just far too weak to be enjoyable.
Billy Tatum-We Got This Covered

A fun caper thinly veiled as a supernatural thriller - a mystery loaded with all the tricks and devices recently made popular by M. Night Shyamalan.
Justin Craig-FoxNews.com

The fact that Red Lights' action doesn't operate in a recognizable universe, however, is a constant problem.
Nick Schager-Paste Magazine

The degree to which Red Lights ultimately peters out is nothing short of spectacular...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

It's nonsense on a plot level but played seriously without nearly enough personality or edge. Even the film's undeniably talented cast can't save it.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com

By the time the film reaches its convoluted, bombastic and preposterous climax, any sense of real magic that it once conveyed has utterly vanished.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian

Filmed in Spain and Canada, Red Lights is limply staged and even more uninspiringly shot - everywhere looks like nowhere. The effect of all this is a total lack of emotional connection to these characters right from the start.
Rob Boylan-Orlando Weekly

Red Lights ends with much fury, and it only underscores how silly the whole misfortunate thing has become.

Review For Ice Age: Continental Drift

Yes, this is the part where I outsource my critical role to my children. If you are the kind of person who (quite understandably) abhors this particular gimmick, you may wish to stop reading now.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic

The best bits are basic and all but voiceless: those Scrat-intensive set pieces, still inspiredly squirrelly if much too far apart.
Jonathan Kiefer-Village Voice

These films are generally good at being good enough, and the fourth installment, Ice Age: Continental Drift, doesn't deviate from that modest tradition.
William Goss-Film.com

In the end, this latest "Ice Age" movie is about as surprising and unpredictable as a glacier. And not much more fun.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

Whenever I watch an "Ice Age" movie, I understand how my mother felt whenever I zoned out in front of the television after school.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday

Popping from one silly set piece to another is all that really concerns the screenwriters.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

The swashbuckling stuff is boisterous, if dated, and proves far more engaging than a tedious sub-plot involving Manny's rebellious teenage daughter.
Jason Best-Movie Talk

The first "Ice Age" is still the best, but as fabricated and Saturday morning as this installment is, it's still an accomplished bit of animated filmmaking.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis

Much like Madagascar, this animated talking animal series with a star-studded voice cast seems to be just coasting along, all too willing to recycle past plotlines and jokes, hoping families aren't offended enough to stop showing up.
Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine

Here the franchise that recycles other kids' movies recycles itself.
Cynthia Fuchs-Time to Play Magazine

The beautiful animation and wonderful character design continue to impress, but the seafaring action is sunk by sub-sitcom-level lessons about family and friendship.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Apparently Fox are making a fifth, and people wonder what's pushing originality out of Hollywood.
Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire

This is simply the case of a series that has fully run its course without anywhere left to go.
Jeff Beck-Examiner.com

There have been far worse children's films than Ice Age: Continental Drift, even this year, but few that make me so depressed about Hollywood's utter contempt for young moviegoers.
Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered

[Teaches] the children of the world all the clichés that they will rapidly come to despise over the course of the following decades.
William Bibbiani-CraveOnline

The difference between mild endorsement and a dismissive "ehh" technically isn't part of the movie. It's the 5-minute short subject preceding Continental Drift, a wordless gem titled The Longest Daycare starring Maggie Simpson.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times

moves quickly, is well directed, and from time to time achieves some real suspense. If it also shows how the franchise is wearing a little thin, it also shows why it has lasted this long.
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews

Let's make this one extinct.
Grae Drake-Movies.com

...everything I liked about the original movie has been worn down.
Leonard Maltin-indieWIRE

... worthless junk, just like the three worthless movies that came before it.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review

The "Ice Age" franchise runs out of steam with a narratively inert example of animated fluff.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

Contains more than enough high energy hi-jinks to keep distractible kiddies entertained.
Tom Clift-Moviedex

Kids will love this film and parents won't be bored for a minute.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

Fossilized in a syrupy, always-stick-by-your-family-and-friends formula. Scrat provides the only constant humour. The surrealism and manic slapstick that animation can do so well are dwarfed by adventures with pirates and a clichéd teen-fitting-in story.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

More solid, at least, than the ice on which its characters float, 'Ice Age: Continental Drift' is a fun fourth installment of the popular franchise that has charmed its fans for years.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)

A hollow simulation of what fun for the whole family looks and sounds like.

Review For Easy Money

The story is overcooked and the gritty aesthetic (handheld cameras, desaturated color) borders on cliche.
Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader

One of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

Chalk another one up for Swedish crime-thriller novels.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star

What really distinguishes it from any number of drug-escapade stories is the unusual and welcome sense of Dostoyevskian moral gravity of the narrative.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

The increasing action and double crosses create an ambient crescendo leading to a final anything-could-happen rendezvous.
Stephanie Merry-Washington Post

The movie builds and builds only to land in a zone of ambiguity.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle

A padded but entertaining Scandinavian thriller made memorable thanks to its timely economic context.
Shaun Munro-What Culture

A fine thriller that relies entirely on the characters' motivations ... to drive the plot instead of the opposite.
Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies

This Swedish thriller isn't just a great crime film, it's a great film, period. Based on the novel by Jens Lapidus, Easy Money is positively Dickensian in its themes and scope.
Adam Ross-The Aristocrat

JW's naivete that no one will get hurt will more likely inspire chuckles than sympathy for a guy who gets in over his head.
Matt Pais-RedEye

Easy Money is a good mob drama with drugs, girls and enough moral conflict to fool you into thinking that these events could happen to anyone.
Billy Tatum-We Got This Covered

Kinnaman is a revelation as the in-over-his-head dreamer; witnessing his comeuppance as his world collapses down around him is spellbinding cinema.
Erick Weber-NECN

Although this Swedish vehicle is thoughtfully engineered and has some vivid streaks of color, it could use a jump start to escape the vanilla ice.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Excellent crime yarn about drug smuggling and the arguably more treacherous business of social climbing in Stockholm, Sweden.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

a character study of the first order masquerading as a highly effective thriller, using the tropes of that latter genre with a scalpel-like precision, and the severity of an Old Testament deity, as it dissects the perils of pursuing form, not substance.
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews

Yes, that is Joel Kinnaman of the Danish-based AMC series 'The Killing,' in which he plays a rain-soaked Seattle homicide detective, speaking fluent Swedish in the lead role in 'Easy Money.'
James Verniere-Boston Herald

An exciting Swedish crime thriller that reaffirms the status of director Spinoza as a major talent to watch.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com

Not a film of predictability or resolution, but grit, with director Daniel Espinosa finding a fascinating tone of helplessness to forcefully slice through the expected tough guy attitude.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com

...an interesting film but somewhat sterile. There is little emotion from the characters (except Latin blooded Jorge) and their upcoming deadly collision is inevitable.

On being asked his name, Abbas's friend comes out with a fake name, as it would create a rage if villagers came to know that the lock of a temple had been broken by a Muslim. From here starts a series of cover-ups, goof-ups and comic situations where to cover one lie, Abbas starts padding up with a bigger lie telling people that he also has a twin brother with no moustache.

Review For Bol Bachchan

Bol Bachchan carries off its rapidly thinning, virtually villain-free plot thanks to its fast-paced presentation of a storyline that hinges on a succession of double identities and escalating fabrications.
Ronnie Scheib-Variety

Though Shetty's movie love is noticeable, his reliance on frantic sound effects and empty action-comedy set pieces over well-thought-out farce mechanics is ultimately wearying.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times

It feels over-familiar, worthy of only the occasional grin.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times

Director Shetty delivers another successful comedy after box office hits like Golmaal, All The Best and Singham.

Award-winning filmmaker Yung Chang returns to China for another riveting documentary on that country's ever-changing economic landscape-this time through the lens of sports. In China Heavyweight, Chang follows the charismatic Qi Moxiang, a former boxing star and state coach who recruits young fighting talent from the impoverished farms and villages across Sichuan province. A select few boys (and girls) are sent to national training centers, with the hope of discovering China's next Olympic heroes. But will these potential boxing champions leave it all behind to be the next Mike Tyson? Their rigorous training, teenage trials and family tribulations are expertly intertwined with Coach Qi's own desire to get back in the ring for one more shot at victory. -- (C) Zeitgeist

Review For China Heavyweight

This ain't no Rocky, and your take-aways are mostly about Chinese family and social customs.
Claude Peck-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Focuses on the stories of three boxers and weaves them into a compelling narrative that rivals anything Hollywood could script.
Janice Page-Boston Globe

Yung seems to anticipate real-life emotional beats and positions his camera at exactly the right moments, yet nothing seems artificial or scripted. The result is an unexpectedly tender film about the price of coming into one's own.
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times

The documentary is fluid, detailed and well photographed by Sun Shaoguang.
Mark Jenkins-Washington Post

Perhaps by focusing on something that is so much an individual sport, Chang creates a deep sense of tension between singular people and the bigger concerns of history, the team or country.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times

China Heavyweight is an uneasy mixture of familiar sports doc tropes and sociological portraiture.
Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter

Award-winning filmmaker Yung Chang returns to China for another unexpectedly lyrical snapshot of that country's rapidly changing economic and cultural landscapes.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com

A useful reminder that China's efforts to "catch up" with the West includes a descent into savagery.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews

Although we never really get to know He or Miao, despite following them around vérité-style, director Yung Chang expertly captures the rays of Western culture bouncing off them.
Kalvin Henely-Slant Magazine

Portrait[s] of the individual determination and nationalistic fervor that seems to driv[e] China to the top in so many fields surmounts the sameness of this universal story.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com

This vibrant documentary about young rural Chinese boxers has many of the hallmarks of greatness but keeps its subjects at too much of a remove to achieve it.
Chris Barsanti-Film Journal International

When China Heavyweight goes all Rocky in a climactic bout, it feels like it's lurching to life for the first time.

Robert Longfellow (Martin Donovan) is a famous playwright who can't seem to catch a break. His recent Broadway play was met with horrible reviews and an early cancellation, and his marriage is being tested as an old flame (Olivia Williams) has reentered his life during a particular moment of weakness. Retreating back to his childhood home to visit his mother (Katherine Helmond), Robert crosses paths with his childhood neighbor, Gus (David Morse). A right-wing, ex-con who still lives at home with his mother, Gus is Robert's polar opposite in every possible way. When Gus holds Robert hostage at gunpoint during a drunken reunion gone terribly wrong, the drama unfolds as social status, celebrity and the imminent threat of violence converge, building up to a climax that will leave both men forever changed. -- (C) Tribeca

Review For Collaborator

Oddly, it's Donovan's performance here that proves the movie's weakest link, though his writing and helming tie for a close second.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times

Morse and Donovan hold us rapt in this clearly told tale about identity confusion.
Adam Litovitz-Globe and Mail

What really matters is the interplay between two fine actors, the icy Donovan and the fiery Morse.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star

Both characters are riveting, and they even manage to earn most of the freight that Donovan loads onto his heavily ironic title.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post

An exceedingly earnest, high-minded hostage drama in which any visceral tension is secondary to topical debates by a captor and his prisoner.
Stephen Holden-New York Times

Writer-director-star Martin Donovan can't connect the dots; the film is a ponderous bore.
Andrew Lapin-NPR

...the movie's various problems [are] exacerbated by a complete and total absence of suspense or tension.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

A witty and well-paced thriller.
Adam Nayman-Metro News

Overall, The Collaborator is the type of film that rewards repeated viewings.
Chelsey Grasso-Paste Magazine

Collaborator is a sharp and vital debut that keeps viewers guessing at all the right moments.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters

A solid, character-based drama that speaks to the disappointments of middle age and mortality in general, Collaborator doesn't let anyone off the hook -- not even the viewer.
Katherine Monk-Vancouver Sun

Working with modest means, Donovan has created an intriguing chamber film very much in line with the idiosyncratic markers of his career so far.
T'Cha Dunlevy-Montreal Gazette

Collaborator is a gimmick movie, but the gimmick is sound.
Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto

It's a promising debut for the director and an intriguing study of characters facing desperate circumstances.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

A quietly suspenseful, provocative and surprising directorial debut. It shows great promise in Martin Donovan's budding career as a writer/director.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru

What takes shape is a character piece that makes a literary job of deconstructing the hostage thriller.
Michelle Orange-Movieline

In his debut auteurial flourish, writer-director-writer Martin Donovan proves himself a triple-threat bore.
David Noh-Film Journal International

The banter is playful and brazenly self-aware, but the ideas are a bit stale and don't lead anywhere emotionally substantial or narratively spontaneous.
Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine

Review For The Do-Deca-Pentathlon

So much of this oddly named but perfectly played dramedy feels real, from the revisits to VHS tapes in parents' basements to the way a family member's glance can trigger fight-or-flight responses.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

There's a joke here, obviously, in the spectacle of two out-of-shape adults making fools of themselves at sporting events. Unfortunately it's the only joke, and it eventually wears thin.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

A decent idea for an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon" falls short as a movie.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

"Do-Deca" can't always overcome the sensation that this is as much a no-budget as it is a no-holds-barred affair. But the sardonic slights and crafty insights are steadily there.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times

If it were any shorter, it would lack depth. If it were any longer, it would most likely seem a strain. As is, there's an emotional honesty here that registers quickly and often.
John Hartl-Seattle Times

Do-Deca-Pentathlon showcases the deft way with interpersonal relationships that's making the Duplasses two of our premier chroniclers of just why it is that we can never seem to get along.
Ian Buckwalter-NPR

The Do-Deca-Pentathlon doesn't quite possess enough plot or substance to wholeheartedly warrant the full-length-feature treatment.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

You've seen overgrown man child characters in plenty of Will Ferrell movies, but The Do-Deca Pentathlon is funny without playing for laughs.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com

The picture is strangely anticlimactic, despite highlighting numerous sporting events and a toxic domestic atmosphere, content to leisurely resolve discontent that feels like it deserves a more forceful approach.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com

The story girding Do-Deca - though intriguing - doesn't feel as well-developed as previous Duplass scripts. As a result, it never quite resonates, style be darned.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune

The wisest choice of all is to cast talented unknown actors, who make these characters and the absurd goings-on feel that much more real--and hence all the more funny.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com

I think the film gets better as it wears on, as the characters finally start to feel more relaxed and natural, and by the end, I bought the sentiment it reaches for.
Drew McWeeny-HitFix

A lot of fun as a comedy of men behaving badly, the Duplass brothers' film also digs into masculine norms and methods of communication and respect with a lot of recognizable truth.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com

The film is just 76 minutes long, but I left the theater feeling nourished and satisfied.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks

The Duplasses know how to put a small film like this together with soothing ease, and they never tax the audience with contrivances or excess baggage.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian

Even though their films maintain an improvised feel, none of the sequences linger; once they make their dramatic point, the next one starts. Couple that efficiency with the movie's short running time, and you've got a small, simple, and successful indie.
Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide

Although it assumes a light, inoffensive tone, Do Deca is unquestionably the brothers' most personal film by virtue of its antiheroes, a pair of warring siblings seemingly inspired by the directors themselves.
Eric Kohn-indieWIRE

The performances, especially by Zissis and Lafleur, are effectively low-key, making their characters' occasional emotional outburst all the more compelling.
Leah Rozen-The Wrap

You get the sense that the Duplass brothers know in their hearts that their characters are hopelessly immature. But you also get the sense that the filmmakers understand their characters in a way that probably makes even them uncomfortable.
Tim Grierson-IFC.com

This movie understands the way a friendly contest can turn deadly serious, the way something trivial suddenly takes on life-changing importance.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine

The film overall feels like a series of cheesy home-video outtakes.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com

The balance of comedy and drama here is just right, and The Do-Deca-Pentathlon never runs out of steam, heart, or laughs.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media

The brothers' bickering can be amusing at times but even at 76 minutes, the movie feels repetitive and overly long.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
