  • Review: Worth Winning (1989)
    Judging from WORTH WINNING, America is in deep trouble! I knew that the film probably wouldn’t be too good because it has Lesley Ann Warren in it, but I went to see it anyway. It is so deeply shallow that there’s not a whole lot to be said ...

    Stellar performances, powerful insights and masterful direction apart, what makes Million Dollar Baby so compelling is its simple, direct storytelling. It is a film that loves its characters and wants us to do the same. We may not be able to see …

  • Review: U – Der Film ‘Dogville’ erzählt in neun Kapiteln und einem Prolog. (2003)
    Controversial, intelligent and daring, Dogville features a career-best performance from Nicole Kidman. She’s a woman on the run in 30s America, who seeks refuge in the remote Rocky Mountain town of the title. You won’t see any stunning Colo...
  • Review: The Personals (1998)
    At least in English, the title of Chen Kuo-fu’s latest film, ”The Personals,” carries a painful paradox. In the film’s somber view, a world in which lonely people resort to newspaper advertisements to find intimacy is one in whi...
