3 stars out of 4 -- "The film is boldly operatic, involving family drama, secrets, generations at war, melodrama, romance and violence....It feels good to see Coppola back in form." Almost four decades after he wrote THE CONVERSATION, Francis Ford Coppola returns to original screenwriting with this personal drama about an Argentine-Italian family. TETRO stars Vincent Gallo and features editing from the legendary Walter Murch. Tetro Reviews: "Watching TETRO, Coppola's first original screenplay in some 30 years, is like eavesdropping on someone's dream."-- Nathan Lee, Film Comment "It has style to burn, eye-catching acting by an international cast and a story that harkens back to many literary classics with its themes of a family torn apart, brothers in conflict and a son's rivalry with a towering father figure."-- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter "[H]aunting....In TETRO, it is the seductive power of artistic genius and fame that will both leave a family broken and bind its wounds."-- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times "[A] visually lush cinematic fugue about love, ambivalence and two brothers fleeing the dark shadow of their domineering father..."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n arthouse gem starring Vincent Gallo as Tetro, the eldest of two brothers wrestling with their estranged father's legacy in Buenos Aires....Coppola extends a timeless magic to the film..."-- Amy Nicholson, Box Office "TETRO turns out to be not one movie but, at the very least, two -- a Fellin-esque concatenation of drama, dance and opera, and a modest, appealing coming-of-age story..."Wall Street Journal "[W]eirdly riveting....As Bennie, Ehrenreich exquisitely portrays the target of Coppola's experiment..."-- Zinat S., Movieline "TETRO again asserts Coppola's willingness to go far out on a limb stylistically....As a filmmaker, Coppola is once again at the height of his powers..." -- Grade: B-- Scott Tobias, A.V. Club 3 stars out of 4 -- "Shot in Argentina with widescreen black-and-white images that take your breath away, TETRO is a drama about family secrets....There isn't a frame of this raw and riveting movie that Coppola doesn't invest with feeling."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

For his fourth directorial feature in the span of two years, Clint Eastwood tells the story of a grizzled Korean War vet's reluctant friendship with a Hmong teenage boy and his immigrant family. Set in contemporary Detroit, GRAN TORINO tackles the shifting cultural and economic landscape of not only the Motor City, but America as well. Eastwood stars as Walt Kowalski, an unabashed bigot who never heard a racial insult he didn't love. Bitter, haunted, and full of pride, Walt refuses to abandon the neighborhood he's lived in for decades despite its changing demographics as he clings desperately to a mindset long since out of step with the times. When his Hmong neighbor Thao tries to steal his prized muscle car as part of a gang initiation, Walt is forced to grapple with the world around him.
GRAN TORINO's approach to the complicated issue of race relations is equal parts Archie Bunker and CRASH. That is to say, there is nothing subtle about Walt's bigotry, yet his misanthropy knows no bounds, and Eastwood does a remarkable job of finding the humor in Walt's equal opportunity racism. More than simply a racial morality tale, however, GRAN TORINO is about the unlikely bonds that people form to navigate the subtle complexities every day life. Like MILLION DOLLAR BABY, GRAN TORINO explores the challenging yet rich new world that can open up when individuals let down their guard, even if for just a moment. Estranged from his family and his church, and without any sense of personal peace, Walt offers all that he has to Thao and his family, namely wisdom and protection. When tragedy strikes the family, Eastwood allows a little classic Harry Callahan ...

Based on the autobiographical short story by Truman Capote (IN COLD BLOOD), this inspirational drama tells the story of Buddy, a seven-year-old boy abandoned by his parents and living with his spinster cousins in the rural South. The film is set during the Christmas season, and presents a tender look at Buddy's close and loving relationships with his far older relatives, Sook (Patty Duke) and Jennie (Piper Laurie).
When Buddy (Eric Lloyd), is abandoned by his parents at the age of 7, he is dumped in the south at the small-town home of some older unmarried cousins. Without friends of his own age, Buddy develops a close friendship with one of the older, simpler ladies, Sook (Patty Duke) and the 2 undertake many adventures together. At Christmas time, they bake 31 fruit-cakes which they give as Christmas present, even mailing them to President Roosevelt and Jean Harlowe! Although Buddy is eventually urged to move on with his life by his insistent cousin Jennie (Piper ...

With CROOKLYN, Spike Lee revisits through the eyes of a young girl the Brooklyn of his youth, resulting in an innocent, touching comedy about one summer in the life of a large family. The only sister in a family full of boys, Troy Carmichael (Zelda Harris) has to be strong, smart and quick with her fists if necessary. Although they argue more than they talk, the Carmichaels draw from a deep well of love for one another. Over the course of the summer, Troy weathers her parents' separation and reconciliation (characters played with deep sincerity by Alfre Woodard and Delroy Lindo), takes a wild visit to her cousin's in Virginia, and must learn to cope with personal tragedy when it strikes. Lee co-scripted the film with siblings Joie and Cinque--who claim that it isn't strictly autobiographical--yet CROOKLYN rings true with a nostalgia and detail that makes it feel like a home movie. Flexing his technical skills, Lee shot all of the Virginia scenes with a distorted lens to reflect Troy's confusion with her new surroundings. ...

Melina Sordino (Kristen Stewart, UNDERTOW) is entering the notoriously difficult time that is the freshman year of high school. She is no average troubled youth, however, for she refuses to utter a word, ever since a party to celebrate the end of 8th grade resulted in a violent encounter for the young girl. Now, ostracized by her schoolmates, alienated from her mother (Elizabeth Perkins, BIG) and father (D.B. Sweeney, THE DARWIN AWARDS), and feeling entirely alone, she retreats into an interior world. But hope presents itself in the form of empathetic art teacher Mr. Freeman (Steve Zahn, SAHARA, DADDY DAY CARE), who accepts Melinda's silence but pushes her towards other means of self-expression. With his aid and understanding, Melinda is able to discover her voice and talent, as well as regain her joy in life. Based on the award-winning novel by Laurie Halse Anderson, this official Sundance selection offers a sensitive portrayal of a hugely important issue, and features a stunning performance by the talented Stewart.
Based on the award-winning novel by Laurie Halse Anderson, this film unfolds a story about Melinda (Kristen Stewart), a smart and spirited high school freshman who retreats into self-imposed silence after she is raped one night at a party. Feeling isolated from her classmates and her preoccupied mother Joyce Sordino (Elizabeth Perkins), Melinda retreats further in an attempt ...

The noir genre gets some unexpected twists in this black-and-white film written and directed by James Kerwin.

On the hunt for a brilliant recluse, she only has a few people she can trust, and her own perception seems even less reliable when reality begins to resemble ...
