4/5
 
"Probing, unsettling and visually compelling, The Conformist treats its audience as adults, never opting for easy closure." -- Total Film
Posted Feb 28, 2008
 
The Conformist (1970)100%
/
4/5
 
"Emotional car-crash cinema at its best, packed with characters you’d hate to meet but who are riveting to watch. Baumbach’s barbed cynicism won’t be to everyone’s taste, but those still suffering the aftermath of a family Christmas will grin in grim recog" -- Total Film

Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%
/
4/5
 
"Part quirky road-movie, part mythic fantasia, part rhapsodic celebration – and wholly captivating. " -- Total Film

Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007)100%
/
2/5
 
"Overall, it might’ve worked better in a one-hour TV slot." --

A Very British Gangster (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Tsai’s long, static, near-wordless takes may try the patience of some, but fans will be enchanted by his new-found warmth." -- Total Film
Posted Nov 14, 2007
 
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)88%
/
3/5
 
"A highly idiosyncratic semi-musical." -- Total Film
Posted Nov 14, 2007
 
The Wayward Cloud (2007)82%
/
4/5
 
"The Counterfeiters is anchored in Markovics’ central turn as a chilly egotist forced, for the first time, to consider others’ needs." -- Total Film
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
The Counterfeiters (2008)94%
/
3/5
 
"Like its heroine, Yella is well-turned-out but chilly; it rarely stirs the emotions, but keeps the attention hooked." -- Total Film
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Yella (2008)76%
/
3/5
 
"An overwrought plot bogs down Paul Schrader’s DC-based social drama. Still, the dialogue is sharp, and the clotted story can’t eclipse a fine cast headed by a tour de force performance from Harrelson." -- Total Film
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
The Walker (2007)52%
/
5/5
 
"Forty years on, the film’s lost not a fraction of its power." -- Total Film
Posted May 11, 2007
 
Battle of Algiers (1966)98%
/
 
If it remains engaging for most of its two-hour running time, it's largely thanks to the casting. -- Sight and Sound
Posted Mar 27, 2007
 
The Namesake (2007)85%
/
4/5
 
"A gentle, funny and melancholy look at the ravages of age and time, with an irresistible star performance at its heart. Oscar prospects, surely?" -- Total Film
Posted Jan 26, 2007
 
Venus (2006)89%
/
 
"Solemnity rarely taints Sembéne's films; his anger and indignation are invariably tempered by his warmth, humour and generosity of spirit." -- Sight and Sound
Posted Jun 7, 2005
 
Moolaade (2004)99%
/
 
"This is a sensual, haunting film, atmospheric and moving, full of melancholy and a subtle eroticism, and Tian draws beautifully nuanced performances from his unknown cast." -- Sight and Sound

Tom's Midnight Garden (1999)n/a

4/5
 
"...although it reverts to slapstick for its set-piece chase finale, for most of its length Mark Illsley's debut film offers an unexpectedly gentle, even sentimental comedy of sexual identities..." -- Sight and Sound
