“..you're supposed to make one movie for you and one for them - not everything for them..”
by Manohla Dargis [New York Times]
“..transgressive humor isn't nearly as offensive as the phony sentiment that's supposed to redeem it..”
by J. R. Jones [Chicago Reader]
Review rate : D

“..to feature this stuff with teens or adults in the cast, but having a 9-year-old girl along for the ride is especially noxious..”
by Peter Rainer [Christian Science Monitor]
“..this movie, considerably funnier than director Green's last..”
by Mary F. Pols [TIME Magazine]

by Andrew Lapin [NPR]

by A.A. Dowd [Time Out Chicago]

COWGIRLS N' ANGELS :

THE INTOUCHABLES :

“..it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a movie that leans so heavily on regressive culture-clash shtick and unimaginative stereotypes..”
by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic]

CHERNOBYL DIARIES :

“..the acting is what you’d expect-on the level of what you’ll find in any crummy horror movie shown on the SyFy network..”

MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”

MOONRISE KINGDOM :

“..this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that..”
by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”
by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
