The Butcher's Son (2009) 47% EDIT “The focus could have been refined and made for a simpler tale. As is, it's a thrilling ride -- as long as you don't try to dig too deep into the narrative structure.” – New York Press Aug 18, 2010 Full Review South of the Border (2009) 53% EDIT “To cram so much complicated history and politics -- not to mention unwavering admiration for a controversial figure such as Chvez -- into a slight documentary is egregious.” – New York Press Jun 25, 2010 Full Review Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman (2008) 95% EDIT “Shulman is such an interesting character due to the influence he wielded in Modern architecture's ability to flourish in America that all the gushy conversations with architects and academics actually seem merited.” – New York Press Oct 14, 2009 Full Review Herb and Dorothy (2008) 96% EDIT “Ultimately, the tale is inspiring: Why can't we all be like the Vogels and become great collectors?” – New York Press Jun 10, 2009 Full Review Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight (2008) 80% EDIT “Unfortunately, the portrait first-time director Wendy Keys paints of the 80-year-old is more about myth building than anything else.” – New York Press May 27, 2009 Full Review Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008) 79% EDIT “Lacking much of the sarcastic edge found throughout Pixar's hits, we're able to appreciate the naive optimism that endears Seuss' creations to us, without looking for a rotten ironic core.” – New York Press Mar 12, 2008 Full Review The Sugar Curtain (2006) 77% EDIT “For those who've never seen Cuba up close, The Sugar Curtain offers an astonishing glimpse of the culture, one that's devoid of both the glamor and the manipulations of mainstream media.” – New York Press Jul 25, 2007 Full Review Time (2006) 77% EDIT “It's a strange and subtly told tale that successfully hacks into the desires and fears of most us who are trying to figure out how to make love work -- without sewing it all back together into a nice, pretty package.” – New York Press Jul 18, 2007 Full Review
