3/5
 
" The ending is predictably feel-good – if it takes way too long coming – but the female-penned script keeps you perky with some surprisingly surreal flashes… such as: 'The eyes are like the nipples of the face.'" -- Metro [UK]

The House Bunny (2008)39%
/
4/5
 
" It's as unsentimental as it is understated and only afterwards do you realise how remarkable it is to find a mafia film that neither over-grits nor over-glams its underworld." -- Metro [UK]

Gomorrah (2009)100%
/
3/5
 
" Bafflingly, this film leaves you not knowing whether to kill yourself, cry, walk out or laugh." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Import/Export (2007)78%
/
3/5
 
" This isn't the truffle box of Brit thesps you'd imagine; instead, the main star is Andrew Davies's nuanced, if awkwardly paced script." -- Metro [UK]

Brideshead Revisited (2008)63%
/
3/5
 
" This comedy is gunning to do for glossy magazines what The Devil Wears Prada did for fashion - and ends up shooting itself in the hand-stitched loafers." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)33%
/
4/5
 
" Warm and engaging, this has its cutesy moments and crazy Van Gogh-inspired time-travel fantasy visuals but remains appealingly grounded in relatable, sublimated adolescent fears of growing up." -- Metro [UK]

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008)87%
/
3/5
 
" For all its half-hearted attempts to trip expectation, Hunt's adaptation of Elinor Lipman's novel is ultimately a romcom wherein themes of adoption and betrayal come with too much sensitive, careworn soul-searching." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Then She Found Me (2008)52%
/
3/5
 
" A game of good, solid passes that emotionally fail to hit the back of the net." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Linha de passe ()75%
/
3/5
 
" No sooner did the woeful Step Brothers suggest Judd Apatow's comedy empire was starting to spread itself thinner than a banana skin under an anvil, he strikes back with this almost-classic." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Pineapple Express (2008)68%
/
 
" A disturbing, bleak, multilayered mystery that will not just worm under your flesh but also wriggle inside your nightmares." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Jar City (2008)94%
/
4/5
 
" It's the latest proof that, when it comes to scary movies at least, the British film industry is alive and screaming." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Eden Lake (2008)78%
/
3/5
 
" The flashback structure adds nothing but length to an already awkward mix of humanist-socialist parable and gently halting love story that's been sat on a shelf since 2005. But even so, it's a surprisingly sweet little treat." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
Sweet Land (2006)84%
/
3/5
 
" But his gift for wicked smash/grab visuals and larky, on-der-money one-liners just about compensates for all his gratingly puerile posing." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Sep 5, 2008
 
RocknRolla (2008)56%
/
4/5
 
" Light radiates intensely from Reha Erdem's glowing enigma, a spiritual yet earthy meditation on the passing of time that proves quietly fruitful." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
Times and Winds (2008)85%
/
3/5
 
" The direction is unlikeably murky and unfocused but this is more dope than wack – and a guaranteed four-star movie if you're already stoned yourself." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 29, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)67%
/
4/5
 
" Funny, raw and gentle, bearing national identity issues with enviable lightness, it's essentially a beautiful piece of black and white observation, buffed from many hours of improv." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Somers Town (2008)89%
/
4/5
 
" McDormand brings a Chaplinesque pathos to this snappy period comedy. Fabulous frocks, tasty men, female bonding, art deco apartments to die for; it's like Sex And The City set in 1930s London. I could have happily watched it for hours…" -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)77%
/
 
" Directed by and starring Stephen Chow of Kung Fu Hustle fame, it's definitely one only for the kiddies - those who are prepared to read subtitles. Should be a smash hit, then." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 8, 2008
 
CJ7 (2008)51%
/
4/5
 
" Deftly balancing honesty, poignancy, sensationalism and humour, it's a palm-sweating story – and the excitable Petit is a born storyteller." -- Metro [UK]
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
Man on Wire (2008)100%
/
 
" Focusing on the simple folk normally relegated to the background of the world stage, this warm comedy has a gentle Life Of Brian flavour and its own shrewd sense of enterprise." -- Metro [UK]
