My Winnipeg (2008)97%
/
3/6
 
"Older audiences may be required to get back in touch with their adolescent appetites for garish decor." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 5, 2008
 
Kamikaze Girls (2005)60%
/
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)80%
/
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)50%
/
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)88%
/
 
"It’s one of the great films of disenchantment." -- Time Out
Posted Feb 7, 2008
 
The Killers (1946)100%
/
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)70%
/
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)75%
/
3/6
 
"This inspirational drama gets three stars for oddity value alone." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 22, 2007
 
August Rush (2007)38%
/
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)82%
/
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
 
"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)88%
/
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%
/
 
"A lovely and thoughtful film." -- Time Out
Posted Aug 1, 2007
 
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 (2008)92%
/
 
"‘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
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)91%
/
 
"Finally, a winning and sensitive take on modern metropolitan life across the class divide." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 16, 2007
 
Play (2005)n/a
/
 
"There’s a touch of Buñuel’s acid in the proceedings; how fine manners mask corrupt character, and how courage and determination come at the price of isolation and callousness. Fine cinematography by Eduardo Serra." -- Time Out
Posted Jan 4, 2007
 
Comedy of Power (2005)80%
/
 
"[Casino Royale] not only simultaneously acknowledges and confounds audience expectations, but also neatly confirms that Daniel Craig’s intriguing and charismatic tyro agent is cut from quite different cloth to his Savile Row-tailored predecessors." -- Time Out
Posted Nov 16, 2006
 
Casino Royale (2006)94%
/
 
"Ably shot and well-performed and observed, Slumming, initially manifests an interesting and unsentimental impassivity and moral neutrality before succumbing to a more-or-less orthodox story of redemption through love. Impressive all the same." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 30, 2006
 
Slumming (2006)40%
/
3/6
 
"Pollack’s documentary is a friendly affair that presents some stunning footage of several Gehry projects." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 30, 2006
 
Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006)81%
/
 
"Touching, amusing and enviably economic." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 30, 2006
 
Dans Paris (2007)60%
/
 
"Even the violence is unexpectedly unexpected, eschewing the usual cathartic frenzy of bloody chopsocky and arcade-game gunplay in favour of calmly viewed and human-scaled acts of brutality." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 28, 2006
 
Election (2005)86%
/
 
"It’s a bit of a mess, falling between two stools: reenactmernt and reappraisal. But it has its moving and interesting moments all the same." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 28, 2006
 
Primo Levi's Journey (2007)84%
/
 
"It would be wrong to overpraise Longing; it’s a modest film, but richly rewarding and full of promise for the future." -- Time Out
Posted Oct 28, 2006
 
Longing (2006)77%
/
 
"The greatest pleasure comes from seeing '70s veterans send themselves up." -- Time Out
Posted Jul 15, 2006
 
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988)62%
/
 
"It’s a delight; an entertaining, moving, audacious and stimulating conversation about happiness, love, jealousy, fear, race, sex, class, and social and colonial oppression -- in short, the relationship between the personal and the political." -- Time Out
Posted Jul 6, 2006
 
Heading South (2006)68%
/
 
"This is Al Pacino's show, and thankfully his Shylock is absorbing enough to carry the day." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)70%
/
 
"This spin-off from the TV series featuring the large purple felt dinosaur of awesome good nature is emetically wholesome." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Barney - Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie (1998)24%
/
 
"What begins as a delineation of a man in a landscape becomes a study in sadness and stoicism, disorientation and even desperation, then finally, a delicate, rewarding and cliché-free enquiry into the complex heart of the lone immigrant experience." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Man Push Cart (2006)87%
/
 
"A small film with plenty of incidental pleasures, writer/director Jenkins' debut feature puts a winning new spin on the adolescent comedy-drama." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Slums of Beverly Hills (1998)79%
/
 
"As entertaining as it's intelligent." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Iron Giant (1999)97%
/
 
"Those unfamiliar with the series will have a chance to marvel at Klasky and Csupo's refreshing innovations: their affectionate play with traditional presentations of 'sweet' baby behaviour and 'pretty' toddler looks." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Rugrats Movie (1998)55%
/
 
"Lang strips down William P McGivern's novel to essentials, giving the story a narrative drive as efficient and powerful as a handgun." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
The Big Heat (1953)100%
