CloseTime Bandits
Terry Gilliam
Jonah Bamel: “If a precocious British kid tripped on mushrooms it would like this; scattered, all over the place, visually inventive and utterly incohesive.”
DVD Spine #37 Learn more » -
···
CloseChasing Amy
Kevin Smith
Jonah Bamel: “A little too cute to be realistic, and too Kevin Smith to be a fantasy, lands somewhere in between romance and comedy but doesn't quite equal both.”

CloseThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button
David Fincher
Jonah Bamel: “David Fincher's vision meets Eric Roth's America. A tour of the 20th Century obsessed with mortality. A sad, visual treat. A bit too long, though.”
