A box-office smash in its native France, this kindly and spirited film doesn’t exactly break the mold of the heartwarming, humanistic boarding-school dramedy.

Well-considered, beautifully made, and often gripping in its narrative, this film examines a man’s complex relationship with a flock of wild parrots.

An occasionally creepy but mostly rote remake of the 1953 horror classic, with some putatively clever jibes at a certain high-profile hotel heiress.

Nominally the story of a 13-year-old girl who longs for a baby, Todd Solondz’s latest is provocative, wicked, even bleakly funny, and ultimately empty.

Here’s an interesting surprise: Dour, dry David Duchovny’s directorial debut is more weepy than creepy, a conventional coming-of-age story that flashes back to 1970s New York City.

This Ashton Kutcher/Amanda Peet romance film is a lot like mediocrity.

Billy Bob Thornton plays an Arkansas husband who attempts to redeem himself after critically injuring his wife and killing their son in a car accident four years earlier.

Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche star in this John Boorman political drama about the work of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The premise of this gleefully jaundiced mockumentary is simple: A filmmaker pays the expenses of a Queens doorman buying a bride from Burma in exchange for the opportunity to film the proceedings.

An off-the-grid family copes with depression and a tax audit outside Taos, N.M., in this warm and unusual drama directed by Campbell Scott.
