"Thesping is a bit rough in places, but of a piece with the film's shouty, in-your-face style, though Clarke himself gives a powerful performance...and keeps up that pic's frenetic split-screen and popvid rhythms." -- Variety
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
Adulthood (2008)n/a
/
 
"An engrossing if underwhelming period thriller." -- Variety
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)78%
/
 
"Morose but impressive drama." -- Variety
Posted Feb 13, 2008
 
Everything Is Fine (2008)n/a
/

Posted Feb 5, 2008
 
Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008)n/a
/
 
"Although there's muted criticism here of military strategy, script endeavors to maintain a politically neutral stance, sticking to the ground soldiers' points of view, rendered convincingly here by cast and third-time helmer Joseph Cedar." -- Variety
Posted Oct 27, 2007
 
Beaufort (2008)88%
/
 
"Even if this isn't Schrader's best, it's hardly his worst." -- Variety
Posted Aug 4, 2007
 
The Walker (2007)52%
/
 
"[An] above-average Japanese anime sci-fi pic." -- Variety
Posted Feb 24, 2007
 
Paprika (2007)82%

Posted Jan 27, 2007
 
Reprise (2008)89%
/

Posted Jan 18, 2007
 
The Monastery: Mr. Vig & the Nun (2006)78%
/
 
"Competently assembled, if a little low on pizzazz." -- Variety
Posted Jan 17, 2007
 
On a Tightrope (2006)n/a
/
 
"There's no doubt the filmmakers' sympathies lie with Joya and the women, and the pic is largely told from the young politician's point of view -- literally at one point, when the camera shows what the world looks like from behind a burqa." -- Variety
Posted Jan 16, 2007
 
Enemies of Happiness (2006)n/a
/
 
"A bit like a cinematic catalog for a gallery retrospective, Matthew Barney: No Restraint serves to explain Barney's m.o. to a wider aud." -- Variety
Posted Dec 20, 2006
 
Matthew Barney: No Restraint (2006)55%
/
 
"For all its slightness, pic is helmer's least pretentious and most sheerly enjoyable for years, despite its very limited commercial appeal." -- Variety
Posted Dec 12, 2006
 
The Boss of it All (2007)73%
/
 
"Pic offers a tabula rasa in which some auds will see a horrifying indictment of the industry's cruelties, others a realistic depiction of mechanized farming, and some a soft-spoken tribute to manual labor." -- Variety
Posted Nov 23, 2006
 
Our Daily Bread (2006)94%
/
 
"By dint of strong perfs (especially from relative newcomer Hannah Herzsprung) and powerful use of music, the pic works in spite of itself." -- Variety
Posted Sep 22, 2006
 
Four Minutes (2007)76%
/
 
"If there are life lessons here, they're harsh ones -- although they're taught with a gentle, forgiving spirit." -- Variety
Posted Sep 22, 2006
 
Starter For 10 (2007)89%
/
 
"The deceptively complex pic gradually grows sharp edges and snowballs into a compelling study in culture clash, with spectacular scenery to boot." -- Variety
Posted Sep 22, 2006
 
Blindsight (2008)97%
/
 
"Handsomely filmed on silvery 35mm and high-definition by Kaye himself, the shrewdly edited pic balances a full spectrum of views from all sides of the abortion debate without obviously taking a position itself." -- Variety
Posted Sep 20, 2006
 
Lake of Fire (2007)94%
/
 
"With its knockout lead perfs and taut if slightly familiar construction, this '80s-set dramedy about a skinhead gang reps Meadows' most fluently made film so far." -- Variety
Posted Sep 18, 2006
 
This Is England (2007)93%
/
 
"A humanistic, charmingly off-kilter samurai story of sorts." -- Variety
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
Hana (2006)n/a
/
 
"Uproariously funny." -- Variety
Posted Sep 13, 2006
 
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)91%
/
 
"This polished, cleanly made pic still packs a wrenching emotional punch and, if backed by critics and auds, could earn more for Herzog than his last 10 features put together." -- Variety
Posted Sep 12, 2006
 
Rescue Dawn (2007)90%
/
 
"A well-bred if docile creature." -- Variety
Posted Aug 28, 2006
 
Lassie (2006)92%
/
 
"Wim Wenders' first fiction featurefeature since 2000's The Million Dollar Hotel, rocky but respectable Land of Plenty proves the helmer often does better with low budgets, fast schedules and young collaborators." -- Variety
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
Land of Plenty (2005)63%
/
 
"This seriously weird pic has a few flat stretches, but its bawdy comedy, bravura sound design and uncanny atmosphere will turn on auds with a taste for deeply oddball fare and baffle others." -- Variety
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
4 (2006)81%
/
 
"Despite the monotony of the visuals, film maintains interest with Trentalance's warm vocal performance and from the mild intrigue over what happened to Ciccio's inamorata." -- Variety
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
Uncut (2006)20%
/
 
"Made with access to the Mehdi Army and embittered citizens the Western news media -- or even the CIA -- might envy, producer-helmer-lenser Andrew Berends creates a revealing insight into the war in Iraq from the locals' POV." -- Variety
Posted Jun 8, 2006
 
The Blood of My Brother: A Story of Death in Iraq (2006)71%
/
 
"Although never strident, crafty juxtaposition of various subjects interviewed points out the very different ways people absorb and cope with the knowledge of what went on at Mauthausen and other camps." -- Variety
Posted Jun 6, 2006
 
KZ (2005)n/a
/
 
"An agreeable Britcom about three couples competing in a magazine-sponsored contest for the Most Original Wedding of the Year." -- Variety
Posted May 27, 2006
 
Confetti (2006)58%
/
 
"Retrieval is unlikely to take home any prizes for originality in Cannes, but feature debut for Polish helmer Slawomir Fabricki punches above its weight with beefy genre tale of an essentially decent young pugilist." -- Variety
Posted May 26, 2006
 
Retrieval (2006)n/a
/
 
"Despite once-upon-a-time setting, a modern, liberal sensibility informs story's plea for racial and religious tolerance, respect for women, and the virtues of cooperation and good manners." -- Variety
Posted May 25, 2006
 
Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest (2006)n/a
/
 
"Delightfully droll." -- Variety
Posted May 22, 2006
 
The Bothersome Man (2007)70%
/
 
"Sensual, dark in every sense, but a touch derivative, Red Road reps an impressive feature debut for Brit writer-helmer Andrea Arnold." -- Variety
Posted May 20, 2006
 
Red Road (2007)89%
/
 
"[Makela] transmutes babyfaced Nykanen's slow descent into alcoholism and later move into pop music into a darkly comic picaresque." -- Variety
Posted Apr 25, 2006
 
Matti (2006)n/a
/
 
"Movingly accompanies the family of Francois Chenu, a gay man murdered by three skinheads in 2002, down the road to forgiveness." -- Variety
Posted Apr 25, 2006
 
Beyond Hatred (2005)89%

Posted Apr 25, 2006
 
Container (2006)n/a
/
 
"Pic's elegantly simple, Richard Linklater-esque concept, written by Julio Rojas, is energetically consummated by sophomore helmer Matias Bize." -- Variety
Posted Mar 21, 2006
 
In Bed (2005)n/a
/
 
"As usual, Sokurov's unhurried pacing will test the patience of more fidgety viewers, although the script is more accessible than some of his recent efforts." -- Variety
Posted Feb 10, 2006
 
The Sun (2005)93%
/
 
"Reps generous-hearted ensemble storytelling." -- Variety
Posted Jan 20, 2006
 
The Syrian Bride (2005)88%
/
 
"Both lushly romantic and intellectually rigorous." -- Variety
Posted Jan 19, 2006
 
Les Pont des Arts (2006)n/a
/
 
"A workable, if slightly reticent docu portrait of the titular '70s pin-up and porn star." -- Variety
Posted Jan 13, 2006
 
That Man: Peter Berlin (2005)92%
/
 
"Under the surface, the movie has a streak of Roald Dahl-style darkness which dilutes the sugar." -- Variety
Posted Oct 24, 2005
 
Nanny McPhee (2006)73%
/
 
"With its powerful tragic wallop and dreamlike journey through the war zone, the Lebanese-set section of the film feels rich enough to have sustained a feature on its own." -- Variety
Posted Oct 18, 2005
 
Zozo (2005)n/a
/
 
"Unfussy but accurate period detailing and skillful perfs buoy up languorous love quadrangle story." -- Variety
Posted Oct 6, 2005
 
Dreaming of Space (2005)n/a
/
 
"Seems primarily designed to amuse and delight auds. However, it also reasserts, in a lowkey way, one of Herzog's favorite themes: The impersonal, irreducible otherness of nature, seen here as crushingly vast and beyond comprehension." -- Variety
Posted Oct 5, 2005
 
The Wild Blue Yonder: A Science Fiction Fantasy (2006)67%
/
 
"While its anarchic spirit is closest to helmer's 24 Hour Party People, pic's film-within-a-film structure makes it yet another genre ticked off for the protean Englishman." -- Variety
Posted Sep 22, 2005
 
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006)91%
/
 
"Consistently charming." -- Variety
Posted Sep 19, 2005
