2/6
 
"Too gauche, too derivative and merely sporadically amusing." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 25, 2008
 
Three and Out (2008)20%
/
3/6
 
"An ambitious but disappointing, regret-filled psycho-drama." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)45%
/
4/6
 
"Its mock-artistic thriller trappings notwithstanding, ‘In Bruges’ is basically a funny, tragicomic two-hander, with the casting of Farrell alongside Gleeson enabling a pleasing Irish inflection." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 18, 2008
 
In Bruges (2008)78%
/
4/6
 
"This dazzlingly designed, mega-budget, period costumer offers further proof of Feng’s increasing versatility, expansive vision and bravura technique." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 11, 2008
 
Legend Of The Black Scorpion (2006)n/a
/
5/6
 
"It’s not a reassuring vision but that’s not the name of Haneke’s particular game." -- Time Out
Posted Apr 6, 2008
 
Funny Games (2008)49%
/
3/6
 
"‘Beaufort’ mounts an impressively credible ‘expressionist’ reconstruction of the futility and contradictions of war as experienced by these men. Its limitation comes from a fundamental failure of vision." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 27, 2008
 
Beaufort (2008)87%
/
3/6
 
"War was ever a Kubrick-ian hell-ride, futile, fundamentally unheroic and de-humanising, but now it’s mocked by a mad multimedia accompaniment innocent of all real ethical, moral and humanitarian value." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 14, 2008
 
Redacted (2007)44%
/
 
"It’s one of the great films of disenchantment." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 7, 2008
 
The Killers (1946)100%
/
2/6
 
"Director Florent Emilio Siri (‘The Nest’, ‘Hostage’) shows ability in action sequences and group dynamics but his film never develops sufficiently to raise it much above the conventional." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Intimate Enemies (2007)60%
/
4/6
 
"A thoughtful, sincere and moving film, buttressed by a fine, central performance by an actor at the top of his form." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 24, 2008
 
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
3/6
 
"The performances are likeable and entertaining, while Nichols pumps the whole proceedings with a satisfyingly fluid, dramatic energy." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
Charlie Wilson's War (2007)83%
/
4/6
 
"Its dark romanticism lingers in the mind." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Lust, Caution (2007)69%
/
2/6
 
"Even ace editor Walter Murch struggles to give coherence to the professor’s fractured, episodic journey through darkening wartime exile in Geneva, to the brighter revelations of ’50s India and the sun-kissed Mediterranean." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 13, 2007
 
Youth Without Youth (2007)29%
/
3/6
 
"An intriguing, ably shot and directed addition to the ‘cinema of anxiety’ ." -- Time Out
Posted Dec 7, 2007
 
Hotel Harabati (2006)75%
/
3/6
 
"Pitt, toying with his death-wish like some private joke, is eminently watchable in a role with little developmental arc; while Affleck, as his unwitting nemesis, takes his own mysterious integrity right to the grave." --
Posted Nov 29, 2007
 
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)74%
/
3/6
 
"This inspirational drama gets three stars for oddity value alone." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 22, 2007
 
August Rush (2007)37%
/
4/6
 
"The film’s meandering, surrealist-kissed, early scenes dance nicely in time with his urban protagonist’s disconnected, existential malaise." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 14, 2007
 
The Wayward Cloud (2007)89%
/
3/6
 
"A heavily contrived, undemanding and often funny mainstream Paris-set comedy-drama." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 1, 2007
 
Prête-moi Ta Main (2006)57%
/
3/6
 
"slightly hesitant, slightly undercharacterised and gently compromising, hybrid: an oddly diplomatic, if often brutal, dip into the hellish demi-mondes lurking behind bouncer-guarded London doorways." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 24, 2007
 
Eastern Promises (2007)88%
/
3/6
 
"You could call it a cousin of ‘Time Bandits’ or ‘The Princess Bride’, but it lacks the former’s originality and the latter’s heart." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 19, 2007
 
Stardust (2007)76%
/
3/6
 
"The performances are solid and small points are made about the plight of outsider art and human bonding but as a study in dying or elderly eccentricity, it’s been eclipsed by recent works." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
My Nikifor (2004)86%
/
3/5
 
"It’s a by-turns flip and searching cineaste’s rites-of-passage drama -- both for the characters and the director -- that deals entertainingly with the rivalries, doubts, fears and sexual entanglements of its twentysomething milieu." -- Time Out
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Reprise (2008)95%
/
4/6
 
"A treat for Indian movie buffs and lovers of silent melodrama alike." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
A Throw of Dice (1929)100%

"An ugly catalogue of personal and familiar abuse." -- Time Out

You I Love (2005)33%

"The final, kinetic aerial battle scenes are eye-poppingly spectacular -- especially in the 3D IMAX-version under review -- but they come way too late to save the film." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 4, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)70%

"A lovely and thoughtful film." -- Time Out

I for India (2007)100%

4/6
 
"All in all, it’s a breezy, jestful and enjoyable divertissement, in which Duris is given free rein to showcase his considerable versatility." -- Time Out
Posted Jul 12, 2007
 
Moliere (2007)70%
/
5/6
 
"A test for tiny tots, a mite nostalgic and as male-dominated as a modern kitchen it may be, but these are mere quibbles about this delightful addition to the Pixar pantheon." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 28, 2007
 
Ratatouille (2007)95%
/
 
"A dynamic and emotionally effective diatribe against global capitalism's role in undermining popular second or third-world democracies" -- Time Out
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
The War on Democracy (2007)83%
/
 
"Christophe Offenstein’s fluid camera tracks the action well enough, but any pretence to subtlety or sophistication seems lost in translation." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 14, 2007
 
Tell No One (2007)93%
/
 
"‘Taking Liberties’ seems designed as a campaign aid and intended – in its careful exclusion of over-heated or passionate voices – as a putative appeal to slumbering Middle England." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Taking Liberties (2007)83%
/
 
"A very impressive debut and one of the best French films of the year." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Not Here to be Loved ()100%
/
 
"Bouchareb shows a real talent for action sequences." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 29, 2007
 
Days of Glory (2006)82%
/
 
"Grufudd is fine, passionate and single-minded, though overly Romantic, and quietly upstaged by the extraordinary Benedict Cumberbatch." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Amazing Grace (2007)70%
/
4/5
 
"Impressively shot in ’Scope, it’s a considerable achievement, possessed of a tranquil beauty and sagacity." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 17, 2007
 
The Go Master (2006)69%
/
 
"An over-filled smorgasbord of sweet intentions. The saving grace is a modicum of spiteful, deadpan humour at dumbkopf Xaver’s expense." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 14, 2007
 
Eden (2006)70%
/
 
"At heart, Bier is an actor’s director, and it’s the uniformly fine performances she engenders from her cast that make ‘After the Wedding’ as satisfying as it is." -- Time Out
Posted Mar 8, 2007
 
After The Wedding (2007)87%
/
 
"An even more sombre affair, as beautifully restrained as the earlier film but also, despite its scenes of battle, death, suicide and suffering, shockingly intimate." -- Time Out
