2/6	" This celebration of mid-Atlantic compromise is one for the youngest and most forgiving of teenage girls." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2008)	32%
2/6	" A frustrating, oblique and portentous endurance test." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Banishment (2007)	56%
2/6	" All in all, it�s a bit of a snore that falls back on romance when all else fails." -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	46%
3/6	" Too long, not nearly as funny as it hopes, and some plot elements (what�s with the sheep?) are extraneous to the improvised mood." -- Time Out Posted Mar 14, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	44%
2/6	" Why in the name of ermine boleros would anyone make such a dull, coy and, worst of all, pretty film about Anne Boleyn?" -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
2/6	" Clumsily shoehorns every hot topic under the sun into a digitally shot drama of high aims, middling production values and low intelligence." -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	Infinite Justice (2006)	43%
2/6	" It�s the sort of glamour-meets-violence drugs-crime story on which lads� mags thrive: unqualified, over-reverent and hysterical." -- Time Out Posted Nov 22, 2007	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	69%
3/6	" For all Anderson�s pleasing, refreshing auteur tendencies, the overwhelming feeling delivered by �The Darjeeling Limited� is of frustration, d�j� vu and little progression." -- Time Out Posted Nov 21, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
	" The filmmakers must have imagined sparky, engaging conversation between these duos similar to a high-speed tennis bout between skillful pros; what emerges is more comparable to a lazy afternoon table-tennis knockabout in an old people�s home." -- Time Out Posted Oct 23, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
1/6	" A terrifically stupid film. Dumb, dumb, dumb." -- Time Out Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
1/6	" Taymor has mistaken a deeply clich�d view of the late �60s for a radical slice of the zeitgeist. Let it be." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
2/6	" Spector, who�s a fluid, straightforward director, resists the crutch of music until the final scene when he goes and blows it all by playing something stupid like� a Gary Barlow song." -- Time Out Posted Sep 7, 2007	Someone Else (2006)	50%
	" As fun as the film occasionally is, it just plays like a compilation of greatest hits." -- Time Out New York Posted Aug 16, 2007	Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)	84%
3/6	" As a study of grief, this is silly and nonsensical. Taken less seriously, Mackenzie delivers a light dance over heavy issues, and the romance works � but how flippantly can we take death, grief and suicide?" -- Time Out Posted Jul 21, 2007	Mister Foe (2008)	75%
	" Full marks to director Bille August for achieving the near-impossible: crafting a film about Nelson Mandela that threatens to send you to sleep and reduces the great man himself to mere background noise." -- Time Out Posted May 10, 2007	Color of Freedom (2007)	44%
	" At its best when making the most of the conflicts at the heart of apartheid." -- Time Out Posted Mar 23, 2007	Catch a Fire (2006)	77%
2/6	" It doesn�t entirely evade the issue at its core � conflict diamonds � in favour of pure action by way of guns and planes, thrills and spills; but it hardly embraces the subject fully either." -- Time Out Posted Jan 25, 2007	Blood Diamond (2006)	63%
	" *If misery is your pornography, Babel* is your holy grail.*" -- Time Out* Posted Jan 16, 2007	Babel (2006)	68%
	" After a promising start, the film becomes less about the experience of an archetypal runaway and more about exploiting terror for big-screen thrills." -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2006	London to Brighton (2008)	73%
	" While the original book assumed an adult level of intelligence, the film pitches itself squarely at the sort of American teenager who would be shocked to learn that a fast food chain was anything but a pillar of the local community." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	Fast Food Nation (2006)	51%
	" *All that was painted grey in Capote* becomes black-and-white here.*" -- Time Out* Posted Oct 30, 2006	Infamous (2006)	71%
	" [Estevez's] attempt to shoehorn what he sees as the grand themes of the period into a choppy, unsubtle and insubstantial script is embarrassing." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2006	Bobby (2006)	45%
	" It mesmerises yet it also bores. It�s a fascinating experiment and a frustrating film." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2008)	50%
	" It�s uneven." -- Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006	The Caiman (2006)	39%
	" *Is it possible to make a film that evokes both Barry Lyndon* and National Lampoon�s European Vacation? Sofia Coppola has had a decent stab at it.*" -- Time Out* Posted Oct 19, 2006	Marie Antoinette (2006)	54%
	" Destiny pervades the project, and anyone who expected Stone to toe anything other than the company line was gravely mistaken." -- Time Out Posted Sep 28, 2006	World Trade Center (2006)	70%
	" While [director Sarah] Watt begins to offer an interesting study in paranoia, tinged with some good comic moments, her multi-stranded plot and last-minute recourse to romance ultimately lost the interest of this viewer." -- Time Out Posted Aug 24, 2006	Look Both Ways (2006)	77%
	" Lennon�s analysis is always lucid but only skims the surface, and Coutard appears more interested in people than politics." -- Time Out Posted Aug 19, 2006	Rocky Road to Dublin (1968)	88%
	" Watching this film is an edifying but frustrating experience; dull in parts, amusing and illuminating in others. You�d still struggle to call it entertainment." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Manderlay (2006)	50%
	" Without Murray, the film would have much less appeal." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Garfield the Movie (2004)	14%
	" [A] curious, sexually charged but ultimately unsatisfying thriller." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Bridesmaid (2006)	90%
	" It doesn�t help Bruce�s cause that he is seen in archive footage to have been a smug, arrogant fellow; it�s tempting to imagine that his memory has abandoned him in exasperation. A case of amnesia as overdue self-discovery, perhaps?" -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Unknown White Male (2005)	73%
	" Full marks for intent; barely a pass for execution." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Rory O'Shea Was Here (2005)	49%
	" The King suffers from an overbearing sense of its own self-importance." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	The King (2006)	54%
	" This mixed-up, self-important thriller is adapted by Richard Price from his own novel and wastes a talented cast." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Freedomland (2005)	24%
	" The entire enterprise smacks of wish-fulfilment provoked by middle-age male guilt. Uplifting, it most certainly ain�t." -- Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006	Elizabethtown (2005)	28%
	" All in all, it�s rather pleasant, but nothing else." -- Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006	Wimbledon (2004)	61%
2/6	" Some films don�t age well, and no doubt Brief Encounter had more of an emotional effect in the social climate of post-war Britain." -- Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006	Brief Encounter (1946)	82%
	" This is largely a competent, successful thriller, but observing global politics from this perspective is an uncomfortable, frustrating experience." -- Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006	The Interpreter (2005)	58%
