3/5	" An engaging documentary." Posted Oct 3, 2008	Heavy Load (2008)	100%
2/5	" Hogg stages some scenes with a sure sense of composition and dramatic tension but too often the film feels self-conscious and ponderous." Posted Sep 19, 2008	Unrelated (2008)	85%
4/5	" Christopher Doyle�s mesmeric compositions remain unaltered, his experiments with colour, light and texture giving the imagery an artistry that majestically survive the moments of clumsy viscerality attempted during the fight sequences." Posted Sep 12, 2008	Ashes of Time Redux (2008)	89%
2/5	" There�s plenty of fascinating material here, yet many of the anecdotes fall flat." Posted Sep 5, 2008	Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2008)	64%
3/5	" The staging is sumptuous but the imagery is static and the anachronistic score is a major irritant." Posted Aug 29, 2008	Sakuran (2006)	70%
4/5	" Lovingly photographed in a monochrome that recalls Woody Allen�s Manhattan, this is a slickly scripted rom-com." Posted Jun 13, 2008	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	85%
3/5	" It�s a fascinating snapshot of middle-class mores during the post-War socialist revolution, but it cries out for a heroine of Celia Johnson�s sensitivity." Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Passionate Friends (1949)	67%
3/5	" Hugely derivative, but highly entertaining." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Botched (2007)	14%
3/5	" This Oscar-nominated drama makes excellent use of its location and ensemble cast." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Beaufort (2008)	87%
3/5	" Over-melodramatic in places but an impressive central performance from the young lead." Posted Jan 24, 2008	Libero (2005)	100%
3/5	" Despite channeling Dickensian melodrama, first-time director Andrei Kravchuk skilfully avoids wallowing in sentimentality." Posted Jan 24, 2008	The Italian (2007)	91%
3/5	" A typically detailed profile of people creating something remarkable together. " Posted Jan 18, 2008	Back to Normandy (2008)	88%
2/5	" This attempt to understand the radicalisation of Muslims means well. But it feels more like a TV-movie with its dumbed down discussion of conflitcing idealogies and the melodramatic humanity of the relationship between the prisoner and his gaoler." Posted Nov 28, 2007	Infinite Justice (2006)	43%
3/5	" A melancholic treatise on isolation and our failure to connect with those closest to us. " Posted Nov 21, 2007	4:30 (2007)	86%
4/5	" Slick, striking and sobering." Posted Nov 8, 2007	A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)	79%
3/5	" T�chin� captures the changing attitudes of the times but some characters feel too peripheral." Posted Oct 19, 2007	The Witnesses (2008)	85%
3/5	" T�chin� captures the changing attitudes of the times but some characters feel too peripheral." Posted Oct 19, 2007	Witnesses (2003)	90%
4/5	" Constantly confounding expectations, this is a film of heart and humour." Posted Sep 28, 2007	The Singer (2006)	94%
3/5	" Director Detlev Buck may be well versed in comedies but he manages to pull off a neat little drama thanks to some credible performances." Posted Sep 21, 2007	Tough Enough (2006)	91%
3/5	" A Hitchcockian atmosphere conjures up some genuine suspense but it loses points for falling into the realms of melodrama in the final moments." Posted Sep 14, 2007	The Legacy (2006)	50%
3/5	" An inventive idea is let down by a weak script." Posted Sep 11, 2007	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
3/5	" By keeping the mood downbeat, director Niall Heery squeezes some extra mileage out of a cliche-ridden idea." Posted Sep 7, 2007	Small Engine Repair (2006)	86%
2/5	" Brief bursts of passion aside, this is a lifeless facsimile of the great artist's last days." Posted Aug 17, 2007	Copying Beethoven (2006)	26%

3/5	" Keeping it surreal has never been so nauseating and, at times, hilarious." Posted Jul 13, 2007	Taxidermia (2006)	81%
3/5	" A fond and always accessible portrait, but the lack of objectivity and drooling images of Gehry's work deprives this documentary of any objectivity." Posted Jun 29, 2007	Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006)	81%
3/5	" A slyly subversive insight into the role of women in the Israeli military, this is a surprisingly compassionate satire that makes its political points without resorting to caricature." Posted May 7, 2007	Close to Home (2007)	67%
4/5	" This deeply moving account of a French family's response to a needless tragedy is all the more effective as it eschews the sensationalism of so much modern reportage." Posted Mar 27, 2007	Beyond Hatred (2005)	89%
3/5	" The music on show is superb - but the lack of an historical context deprives viewers of a full cultural appreciation of the Brazilian charo." Posted Mar 23, 2007	The Sound Of Rio: Brasileirinho (2007)	n/a
3/5	" Artistically, this scathing assault on human frailty couldn't be more accomplished. But there's something mechanical about the central characters' cynicism and their ultimate abasement." Posted Mar 13, 2007	The Family Friend (2006)	82%
3/5	" The storyline is a highly melodramatic, but some solid performances and the relentless intimacy of the camerawork give this a Dogme sense of significance." Posted Mar 8, 2007	After The Wedding (2007)	87%
5/5	" A nail-biting drama that's a must-see." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Wages of Fear (1952)	100%
1/5	" If harrowing footage of deeply disturbed people contemplating a hideous suicide cross-cut with interviews with grieving loved ones who often blame themselves for failing to prevent the tragedy strike you as art - help yourself." Posted Feb 14, 2007	The Bridge (2006)	70%
4/5	" Making masterly use of sound and image, this is a desperately sad study of the difficulty people have to communicate and commit in an increasingly insular world." Posted Feb 7, 2007	Climates (2006)	71%
3/5	" Shot over three years, this is one of the more considered and insightful Iraqi documentaries - although some may find its stylistic contrasts a little self-conscious and distracting." Posted Jan 15, 2007	Iraq in Fragments (2006)	91%
4/5	" Poetic, patient and beautiful, it's an astoundingly mature film from 25 year old debutant director Green." Posted Dec 30, 2006	George Washington (2000)	81%
2/5	" It shifts focus too often to hang together as an in-depth portrait of either the unconventional coach or his headstrong star player." Posted Dec 30, 2006	The Heart of the Game (2006)	86%
4/5	" Jean-Luc Godard ranked this among the finest US films ever made. Recommendation enough." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Bigger Than Life (1956)	92%
3/5	" A tangible sense of evil lingers over this German serial killer shocker, but the introduction of religious symbolism tips the action into self-conscious melodrama." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Antibodies (2005)	61%
3/5	" A wholly worthwhile enterprise loses its initial impetus and insight and becomes increasingly meandering and melodramatic." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Live and Become (2008)	83%
5/5	" Despite a dip midway through, this is a captivating fantasy that sets a new benchmark for animation." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Spirited Away (2002)	97%
2/5	" One of the most beautiful animated films ever produced." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Metropolis (2002)	91%
4/5	" A welcome antidote to anodyne Hollywood cartooning." Posted Dec 30, 2006	Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998)	96%
4/5	" This 17-camera portrait of the artist as an ageing star still captures the magnetism and balletic genius of a player whose reputation will surely survive the naysaying of holier-than-thou commentators following his World Cup 2006 dismissal." Posted Oct 28, 2006	Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2008)	50%
2/5	" Despite the odd moment of visual bravura, this mockumentary is too aware of its own satirical daring. Consequently, it's never as dark, dangerous or amusing as it thinks." Posted Oct 6, 2006	Brothers of the Head (2006)	67%
4/5	" Played to the hilt by an inspired cast, this may not be the most subtle comedy ever made, but it has an impudence and an energy that atones for its occasional resort to contrivance and cheap gags." Posted Oct 1, 2006	Unconscious (2007)	85%
3/5	" The graphic content guarantees that this will attract sensationalist attention. But, beneath the provocation and pretention, there are some interesting ideas here -- even though they're not always subtly expressed." Posted Sep 23, 2006	Destricted (2006)	25%
4/5	" A brilliant musical that still looks fresh today." Posted Aug 25, 2006	Oklahoma! (1955)	91%
3/5	" An uplifting story that's well worth telling, but the directors rather lose sight of the wider sociological ramifications to iconise a figurehead whose courage is couched in almost miraculous terms." Posted May 27, 2006	Favela Rising (2006)	63%
