About Schmidt
I was so offended by the cynicism and class condescension of Citizen Ruth, Alexander Payne's first feature, that I've remained suspicious of his work even as he's emerged as a more skillful director in Election and this still more ambitious and accomplished film. more...

About the Living

Abraham Lincoln

Absence of Malice
The invective against the press and the First Amendment contained in Sydney Pollack's 1981 film is probably its least objectionable aspect: the picture has a smug, demoralizing sense of pervasive corruption, putting forward the Paul Newman character (a businessman libeled by reporter Sally Field) as the last good and true human being in the United States. more...

Absolute Beginners
A fascinating attempt by rock video director Julien Temple to do several things at once—adapt a Colin MacInnes novel, show the London youth scene in 1958 (while dealing at length with the racial tensions of the period), build on some of the stylistic innovations of Frank Tashlin, Vincente Minnelli, and Orson Welles, and put to best use a fascinating score by Gil Evans that adapts everything from Charles Mingus to Miles Davis. more...
