Sarah's Key (2010) Download Movie

You can't watch this film without thinking about modern wars and about how much easier it is to demonize a foe when language and customs are more at odds.. It does provide audiences with the satisfaction of seeing and hearing an important truth expressed, and that's better than making you feel good. That's making you feel something.. [Images of WWI are] terrible, but shadowy and distant, and it takes an extraordinary film on the order of Joyeux Noel to make it all suddenly vital, immediate and h...

Testament of Youth (2014) Watch Full Movie

In what is a well-acted but fairly typical prestige period drama, it's Vikander's nuanced performance as the resolute but still-vulnerable Vera who gives the film its depth.. Just once, it would be refreshing to see Britain look like something other than a country-living catalogue.. Mournful, very fine .... I really like this movie. thank you. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds ...

Madras Cafe (2013) Watch Streaming

The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the players as real and natural.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else.

Gods and Generals (2003) Play Streaming

What the filmmakers fail to recognize is that history on the page is quite different from what it needs to be onscreen, namely alive and visceral.. Four hours including the intermission, I felt like I was seeing the Civil War in real time for awhile there.. Few of [the actors] are able to compete with the wigs and the platitudes.. It may not be the worst war epic ever made -- that probably would be Battlefield Earth -- but it's darn close to being an unqualified disaster of that magnitude.. One ...

The White Countess (2005) Watch Full Movie

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. . The White Countess, although it has its share of Masterpiece Theatre moments, is another film to remind us just how cosmopolitan is the Merchant-Ivory filmography.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embra...

Hotel Rwanda (2004) Play Streaming

The invigorating thing about Jarhead is it makes us encounter the truth in its undigested form.. [The movie] sweeps over you with blunt, unequivocal conviction.. A film that uses the comfort of the predictable to make horror palatable to a wider audience.. Iffy scripting decisions can't thwart the romantic allure of this handsomely crafted, sincerely performed wartime weeper.. A sturdy enough but ultimately overpolite entry into the classic wartime women's melodrama, in which war's impact on the...
