Tropic Thunder (5/10) Movie CLIP - Never Go Full Retard (2008) HD. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry. All Critics (81) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (74) | Rotten (2) | DVD (1) A fascinating portrait of a modern artist and activist trying to make a difference within China's repressive political system. The film's recurring theme is of an artist on a perpetual hunt for transparency, in his country and abroad. A movie that somehow mixes apprehension for Ai with a feeling of warmth and, certainly, fun. Affable and unpretentious, Ai comes across as a cagey operator whose candor is very appealing. It's likely to change the way you think about art and politics and the state of China today. Using archival footage dating back to Ai's adventures in the New York art world in his 20s, Klayman traces his evolution as a creator and as an activist.

To say Ai Weiwei is an interesting character is an understatement. Ai Weiwei is such a laid back, calm and yet mischievous spirit that the film takes on a whole different, almost joyous tone. The film is about the power and limits of art. The Island President. All Critics (47) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (1) The Island President is an important portrait of a determined man standing fast in a place where the ground is literally shifting beneath his feet.

Climate-change documentaries are almost always disturbing, but "The Island President" communicates a special urgency. [An] engaging, gorgeously photographed documentary. Nasheed is indeed inspirational, a cool-headed but passionate and courageous guy. You end up wishing a lot more leaders were like this guy. Shenk expertly weaves Nasheed's extraordinary personal story together with the Maldives' breathtaking natural beauty and a Capra-esque tale of dogged idealism and political courage to create wonderfully vivid cinematic portraiture. What makes Nasheed's whirligig tactics so urgent is that, unlike most other countries participating in the summit, his own nation is actually in danger of being annihilated by climate change. A fascinating look at an extraordinary personality.
