Invasion of the Body Snatchers

A well-made film that teaches an obnoxious lesson

A fine war movie in spite of its being pitched to an audience with a pacifist predisposition

A bit of magical realism that is too heavy on the magic and too light on the realism

Lars von Trier, clowning around in his own inimitable fashion with the End of the World

A respectful period romance which, however, doesn’t give us as much of the period as it does of the romance

Sensitive young men who feel betrayed by their heroic but unfeeling fathers (and mothers) have so been done to death, yet we never seem to tire of them
