Nuit #1
Joshua Brunsting @ The CriterionCast
- Excerpt: Emond’s film is a beautiful and romantic look at the state of modern romance and just how disenchanted this generation has become by everything, including their respective relationships with one another. As icy cold as a winter’s snow, color this film as just the type of grade-A counterprogramming that the film doctors have ordered this summer season.
The Runway
Ron Wilkinson @ Monstersandcritics.com
- Excerpt: Inspired by a true story, this Disneyish sally to the crash site that spawned a miracle lacks the muscle of reality.

Margaret
- Excerpt: Margaret’s lengthy shelving is quite evident, beginning with the fact that it stars Anna Paquin, who just turned 30, as a believable high school student. Also dating the film is talk of the September 11th terrorist attacks as still fresh wounds and debate over the United States’ presence in Afghanistan.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: A boring first hour gives way to a surprisingly good finale.
