4/5
 
" Dvortsevoy shows us the fragility of life, through the birth and death of lambs, while also touching on the innate stoicism of families who live in this toughest of environments." -- Eye for Film
Posted Oct 7, 2008
 
Tulpan (2008)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
" Despite the filth, the violence and the desolation, McQueen's portrait is a thing of brutal beauty in terms of its composition." -- Eye for Film
Posted Sep 29, 2008
 
Hunger (2009)100%
/
3/5
 
" The film's 12A certificate is prohibitive for younger children %u2013 though with parental guidance kids as young as 10 might well get something from it %u2013 and yet the manner... is simply too simplistic for an older audience." -- Eye for Film
Posted Sep 15, 2008
 
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)81%
/
1.5/6
 
" As dull and maddening as a bad dose of PMT." -- Eye for Film
Posted Sep 14, 2008
 
The Women (2008)10%
/
3.5/5
 
" This is an uneven directorial debut -- but not an unaccomplished one. Oliver is a name to look out for -- it would be great to see what would happen if he worked with someone else's script." -- Eye for Film
Posted Aug 13, 2008
 
Take (2008)42%

3/5
 
" You'll certainly be rooting for Beto and his brood by the time the Popemobile rolls into town. " -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 31, 2008
 
The Pope's Toilet (2007)77%
/
4/5
 
" Although this film has got a very serious point to make, Hana Makhalbaf has an enviable lightness of touch and always remembers to keep the story front and centre." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 26, 2008
 
Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)89%
/
2.5/5
 
" The term 'gentle' is too harsh a word to describe the pace of this tale which is so slow in places it's a wonder moss isn't growing on it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 26, 2008
 
The Fox & the Child (2008)47%
/
4/5
 
" Not long into this documentary, you begin to think in double punctuation marks, namely ?!" -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins (2008)n/a
/
4/5
 
" The genre-bending antics may not be everyone's cup of tea but there's no doubting his [Christoffer Boe's] innovation." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
Allegro (2005)n/a
/
3/5
 
" Although this is a bit of a meander in places, it is always a pleasant one and shows plenty of directorial promise." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
Love and Other Crimes (2008)n/a
/
3/5
 
" Much of the story is smoke and mirrors in terms of fact, but this is pitched more at romance fans than Houdini addicts." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 30, 2008
 
Death Defying Acts (2008)46%
/
3/5
 
" Everything about this film is rough and ready...but fans of Gorillaz will doubtless enjoy its edge." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 18, 2008
 
Bananaz (2008)n/a
/
4/5
 
" In essence, the story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, the resilience and commitment of a few to help the many and a triumph of hope in adversity." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 17, 2008
 
Angels in the Dust (2007)82%
/
4.5/5
 
" A staggering and petrifying insight into the very real dangers faced by Al-Daradji and his crew." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
War, Love, God & Madness (2008)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
" It is frequently not what you see but what you hear which holds the horror." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
Let the Right One In (2008)100%
/
3.5/5
 
" A tense exploration of relationships and human frailty, helped enormously by Beatrice Thiriet's wonderfully evocative score." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
La Fille de Son Père (2001)n/a
/
4/5
 
" Aside from a slight flabbiness ... Kechiche is to be praised for exploring the nature of change on a personal and a community level -- and packing the result with some emotional wallop." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
The Secret of the Grain (2008)100%
/
3/5
 
" The sheer predictability of the plot means it doesn't really stand up to the scrutiny of anyone older than 15." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 15, 2008
 
13 Going on 30 (2004)64%
/
1/5
 
" There are hints of a plot line, but everything is racing along at such a pace - only lit by the flash of muzzles - that it is difficult to spot it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 15, 2008
 
Yesterday (2002)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" A look at the commonest fear nipping at the heart of Middle America. Not the war in Iraq, nor terrorism, but the breakdown of the family unit and how - and if - people can cope with it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Weather Man (2005)58%
/
1.5/5
 
" It is as though the cast and scriptwriters are constantly nodding to one another and admiring their own cleverness." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
War, Inc. (2008)30%
/
3.5/5
 
" What really holds the attention in this playful comedy are the central perfomances." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)67%
/
3.5/5
 
" Guzzanti's arguments are coherent, although, they will doubtless play best to those with at least some knowledge of Italian politics." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Viva Zapatero! (2005)83%
/
4/5
 
" Chang's sensitive observational style allows the contrast between the unreality of the ship and the crushing hardship of the lives of Yu Shui's family to develop naturally" -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Up The Yangtze (2007)95%
/
4/5
 
" An ambitious premise that only just falls short of genius." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Up and Down (2005)84%
/
3/5
 
" Whether the story is true or not does have a bearing on how good you think it is." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Unknown White Male (2005)73%
/
4/5
 
" There is violence -- the gritty, bloody kind, not the balletic jumping off walls variety -- but it is kept firmly in its place and never allowed to take over." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Twilight Samurai (2004)98%
/
4/5
 
" Tuya is joins the ranks of other strong, female characters created by Chinese directors and writers, in this case battling against the odds to keep her family together." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Tuya's Marriage (2008)91%
/
4.5/5
 
" Domestic abuse has been portrayed on film before but never with this much complexity." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Take My Eyes (2006)91%
/
3.5/5
 
" Oliver and director of photography Tristan Whitman have created an excellent look, using a bleached-out colour palette to good advantage." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Take (2008)42%
/
3/5
 
" Simultaneously comical and unsettling." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Nubes De Verano (2004)n/a
/
4/5
 
" By contrasting the upbeat tempo and message with images of the squalor many Nigerians face, despite living in oil-rich towns, Ollman paints a bleak picture of corruption breeding corruption." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Suffering & Smiling (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
" Energetic, immediate and defiantly hopeful." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Strangers (2008)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" The film moves along at a crackling pace and the action shifts slickly from gathering menace to outrageous violence without missing a beat." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Storm Warning (2007)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" As much an exploration of emotional and cultural problems in modern day China, as it is the tale of one man's lost love." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Still Life (2008)91%
/
3/5
 
" The impressive framing and gorgeous washed-out look does not extend to the script of what is, ultimately, a rather pedestrian film noir." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
La Señal (2007)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
" It is a feather in ITV's cap that it was prepared to invest in such a fascinating and thought-provoking script, while managing to keep cliche under wraps." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Second Coming (2003)n/a
/
2/5
 
" Where we should be caught up in the emotion of a man staring death in the face, we are marvelling at the clunky switch from Seventies crime thriller to run-of-the-mill prison melodrama." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Salvador (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
" Although Ruba Nadda is dealing with a serious subject, she has a lightness of touch which stops this film from slumping into depression." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Sabah - A Love Story (2005)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
" Builds up an emotional head of steam that draws audiences towards it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Romulus, My Father (2008)44%
/
3/5
 
" This gentle tale of love in the face of the threat of war could do with a bit of rocket propulsion itself." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Rocket Post (2006)n/a
/
3.5/5

Rewind (2003)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" Niles and White capture the fear in the faces of the band members - but also their energetic fortitude and willingness to move on from their past suffering." -- Eye for Film

Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Other Side of the Country ()n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" Touches of magic realism indicate we are in an ideal world where love will, if not conquer everything, then pretty much hug it into submission." -- Eye for Film

/
3/5
