An Education

Everything about Scherfig’s coming-of-age story about a girl in the London suburb of Twickenham in 1961 is spot-on.

"...that goes from dimpled schoolgirl to oh-so-sophisticated teen to Audrey Hepburn look-alike to disillusioned-but-wiser adult. Mulligan makes a lasting..."

The Brothers Bloom

Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo are cast as the best con men in the world whose current swindle involves an eccentric heiress (Rachel Weisz) in this sophomore effort by the writer/director of Brick.

Notes on a Scandal

This movie with Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett is a hothouse psychodrama, full of outrageous and florid sentiments that are made semipalatable by the quality of the craftsmanship involved.

Happily N'Ever After

The animated Happily N'Ever After isn't just cynically humorless, it's shoddy-looking to boot.

Charade

The sexual chemistry between Hepburn and Grant, when set against the suave thriller's tumultuous backdrop of shifting identities, makes this movie an enduring favorite.
