This film was in the cellar for more than a year before securing a release here, but its dividends should be no less bountiful. (Taipei Times, Taiwan -- World)
Talking cure for B'way ills Nov 18, 2009
OLEANNA," David Mamet's play about radical feminism and polit ical correctness run rampant on campus, is closing Jan. 3 at a loss of more than $2 million. That's too bad. This is a solid revival, well acted by Julia Stilesand Bill Pullman, of an old Mamet play that still has teeth (unlike, say, last season's deadly "American Buffalo"). One of the best things about "Oleanna" was the post-show discussions, the so-called "talk-backs," which have gotten quite popular on Broadway. Feminists, lawyers,... (New York Post -- Entertainment)

High stakes for an old-world journalist in ‘State of Play’ Aug 30, 2009
There s nothing inscrutable about the central murder investigation, but it s tricked out with oddly mannered law enforcement (Bill Pullman, Julia Ormond, and, go figure, French Stewart); a desolate yet claustrophobic setting; and speaker-rattling sonic dread. Not so good: The film tips off a big twist in the early going, making this more about clue-spotting than suspense. (Boston Globe)

Review: `Phoebe' features needless whimsy Mar 5, 2009
The scenes in which Phoebe interacts with her mother, father (Bill Pullman) and precocious younger sister (Bailee Madison) are the strongest, though; they're rooted in reality as the family struggles with the eldest child's daily ups and downs. Clarkson, too, brings her usual understatement to a daffy character who spouts facile platitudes about risk-taking (as well as lines from Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky"). (Hanford Sentinal, CA)
