IN: Write an ordered list of reviews about "wackness".

OUT: 1. It's an utterly routine picture, but its low-key mood and acting disarm
2. With a game cast and cool songs from the era... heartfelt moments battling clumsy ones, The Wackness isn't quite dope but, like a good mixtape it is full of highlights.
3. An exercise in style and wit, two commodities that never go out of fashion.
4. Josh Peck and Ben Kingsley make for an oddly engaging couple in Jonathan Levine's audacious comedy about sex, drugs, and unexpected friendships.
5. If nothing else, it's probably worth seeing for the kissing scene between Kingsley and Mary-Kate Olsen.
6. It's an old theme. Levine tackles it with gusto and verve, and if ultimately he overdoes it with a hi-end quirky style, I think there's enough authenticity here to see the film through.
7. Dumb title? Certainly. Perfectly proportioned? Nope. True-to-life? Certainly not. An enjoyably quirky indie comedy? You bet.
8. Parallel yet intertwined older and younger generations, and a real girl, set this above the usual young dudes genre, changing from comic to romantic to poignant and back.
9. This is a gently humorous and beautifully moving film.
10. Levine's extended use of sepia-toned cinematography adds to the film's charmless look, matching the bleakness of the lives of most of the people he presents to the audience.

IN: Write an ordered list of reviews about "yossi 2013".

OUT: 1. Fox understands that the joys and tears of looking for love are not unique to gay Israeli men...viewers can relate to the emotional conflicts regardless of one's orientation.
2. Eytan Fox depicts modern gay life and contemporary Tel Aviv with sympathy and knowing insight, and he excels at creating casual rapport among actors; yet in film after film he undermines these gifts with hamfisted melodramatic plotting.
3. ...[Knoller's] portrayal of a person locked in his own grief is both realistic and sympathetic, and Fox brings events to a conclusion that is more than worth the wait.
4. Yossi is a stronger film than its predecessor, more deeply felt and less reliant on love-story conventions.
5. ... an awfully familiar fantasy-for gays and straights alike-about an emotionally repressed older man saved by a young beauty who sees the kind soul and intelligence under the frumpy surface.
6. a very real portrait of a man on the verge of accepting himself
7. Filled with many of the awkward life moments that many gay men will recognise, as well as a freshly lensed look at the new Israel, Yossi is a strong and touching take on grief.
8. It's serious about its characters and their emotions, but still finds room for humor.
9. "Yossi" has an air of lightness but never feels insignificant.
10. Knoller is wonderful as the emotionally cut-off, yet vulnerable Yossi, who yearns for something more from life, but feels both terror at the prospect and unworthiness to claim it.

IN: Write an ordered list of reviews about "killer joe".

OUT: 1. Friedkin directs; his taste for sadism has never been personified better than in McConaughey's unassuming-but-dangerous drawl.
2. It's as mean as a snake.
3. A gleeful and unapologetic descent into delicious decadence, Killer Joe is proud of what it is and never tries to be something it isn't.
4. Friedkin's pretty shrewd himself, in how he teases out the humor without indulging Letts' immature glibness, and how he sidesteps Bible Belt baptism to waterboard us in the sewer of selfish human nature.
5. That everything should go wrong is no surprise, but the wrong turns are taken so viciously -- Gershon, in particular, is appallingly treated, in closeup -- that they lead the film, adapted from the play by Tracy Letts, to the brink of abusive farce.
6. Friedkin plays a trick that might be mean if it wasn't so fascinating to see him pull off, blending laugh-out-loud humor with absolutely repulsive images, forcing disoriented and unsettled audiences to wind up laughing when they should be disturbed.
7. It's the sort of funny that encompasses both definitions of the word and that is watched, as often as not, with clenched teeth and the temptation to cover ones eyes fighting with the much stronger temptation to see what happens next.
8. A family (dis)member(ed) ... with a wink from an eye more bloodshot than smirking.
9. It is a concise, blistering, smoldering performance that deservedly should place McConaughey on the A-list of today's actors.
10. "Killer Joe" is diabolically dark, and immensely entertaining.

IN: Write an ordered list of reviews about "transamerica".

OUT:
1. It's not satirical irony when you do it with such overwrought vinegar that it becomes ugly and mean-spirited.
2. Not neat, nor tidy; a road trip-redemption movie you've never seen before.* It's really beautiful, - I hope it gives people a reason to love and tolerate where they never might have before.
3. The result of Huffman's and Zegers' fine performances, and Tucker's excellent work, is one of the most thought-provoking and best films of the year.
4. If you can get past the transsexual element, you'll see an often-humorous road trip movie that turns into a story about relationships and the bond that ties family together.
5. An abrupt but unforgettable movie with rough edges that lend it even more resonance.
6. It sometimes suggests a John Waters drag farce trying to go mainstream and sentimental.
7. In Transamerica, Felicity Huffman out-Victor/Victorias Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria.
8. The movie works, and it does work, because Felicity Huffman brings great empathy and tact to her performance as Bree.
9. Huffman is on delicate ground throughout the film but she infuses the role with fragility, strength and grace.
10. The film's triumph is that it's ultimately much more than a stunt--despite occasional missteps, it's mostly a sweet, penetrating, funny and intensely human story.
