You could do a lot worse than spend 100 minutes with Ms. Mulligan. Movie fans, I give you a woman worth educating yourself on.

You may think you know where the film is going, but its ecstasy and heartbreak will stick with you afterward. It's one of the year's best.

Director Pierce and Bienen and the expert cast engage us in the actuality of these rootless, hopeless, stoned-out lives without sentimentalizing or romanticizing them.

Powerful and unpretentious.

A sexually frank tale of urban isolation and emotional need out of the dotcom revolution.

Why is it that "prestige" sex films, made by name directors and featuring estimable players, are usually so boring?

Tim Robbins's balanced yet uncompromising approach refuses to judge any of the characters, including the killer (superlatively played by Sean Penn), instead giving each a fair chance to present their case with dignity and respect.

Although flawed, Garden State is a good-natured film whose very likeability leaves you willing to overlook its shortcomings.
