4/5
 
"A tightly wound, slickly plotted spy comedy." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 28, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)n/a
/
3/5
 
"Unsuprisingly, Robinson never really gets anywhere either, but her film at least gives a convincing flavour of the time." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 15, 2008
 
A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)76%
/
3/5
 
"Few film-makers would try anything so definitively personal; Weber doesn't always get away with it, but what emerges here is always interesting. And nicely shot, too." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
A Letter to True (2004)52%
/
4/5
 
"It's the beautifully chiselled dialogue -- counterpointed by near-static camerawork and a nicely mannered acting style -- that remains the chief attraction." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Jul 18, 2008
 
Metropolitan (1990)92%
/
3/5
 
"With no attempt made to even explain the basic rules of Go, this is essentially a study of forehead-kneading concentration, of how to shut out even the most tempestuous of world events." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
The Go Master (2006)69%
/
3/5
 
"Despite the unremitting focus on the claustrophobia of outpost life, it's hard to ignore the by-now hoary tropes of the war movie with which Cedar litters his screenplay." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 28, 2008
 
Beaufort (2008)88%
/
4/5
 
"If you like your dialogue hardboiled, your lighting shadowy, and your femmes fatales preposterously evil, then look no further: Billy Wilder's 1944 adaptation of James M Cain's insurance-scam novella." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Feb 11, 2008
 
Double Indemnity (1944)97%
/
3/5
 
"A documentary examining the Miami drug wars of the early 1980s in exhaustive - and occasionally nauseating - detail." --
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
Cocaine Cowboys (2006)69%
/
3/5
 
"It's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Weirdsville (2007)56%
/
3/5
 
"A feature-film condensation of last year's blockbusting BBC nature series Planet Earth - but, in a somewhat spineless move, it has been shorn of David Attenborough's breathy tones and given instead those of Patrick Stewart." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Earth (2007)100%
/
 
"Dialogue is minimal and events, such as they are, are propelled by a whimsicality characteristic of its era." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 12, 2007
 
Celine and Julie Go Boating (1976)95%
/
3/5
 
"A gentle, unpretentious comedy that posits a why-can't-we-just-get-along approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
The Band's Visit (2007)98%
/
3/5
 
"McGowan is a suitably slinky presence as the lead avenger with a machine gun for a leg; blood and pus regularly fill the screen as Rodriguez lets rip with gleeful abandon." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
Planet Terror (2007)77%
/
4/5
 
"It's slick, efficient, tough-nosed film-making, enmeshing our hapless hero more and more tightly in its narrative coils. Only a matter of time, surely, before Michael Douglas shows up in the remake." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
The Serpent (2006)85%
/
4/5
 
"This trip rapidly becomes more about how they interact rather than their gravity defying ball." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Sep 14, 2007
 
In the Hands of the Gods (2007)85%
/
4/5
 
"It won the best first film award at Cannes; somehow, it doesn't seem quite substantial enough to justify that accolade." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)95%
/
3/5
 
"[An] expertly assembled and engrossing documentary." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Jul 14, 2007
 
Deep Water (2007)96%
/
3/5
 
"An intricate, intelligent, and very watchable thriller." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Jun 16, 2007
 
Tell No One (2008)91%
/
3/5
 
"There's an undeniable rock-nerd edge here, as one talking head after another showers praise on the man." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Scott Walker: 30th Century Man (2006)92%
/
5/5
 
"This film is a masterpiece." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988)85%
/
3/5
 
"Dunne [Gosling] is an enjoyable and impressive creation, justifiably recognised with an Oscar nomination for Gosling earlier this year." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Apr 20, 2007
 
Half Nelson (2006)91%
/
3/5
 
"One things for sure, they certainly don't make 'em like this any more. Nor, I suspect, would anyone want them to." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Apr 7, 2007
 
El Topo (1970)74%
/
3/5
 
"A sympathetic, subtly observed account of Israeli girl soldiers." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Apr 7, 2007
 
Close to Home (2007)67%
/
3/5
 
"This is a solidly impressive kids' sci-fi." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 31, 2007
 
The Last Mimzy (2007)53%
/
3/5
 
"Every frame, you feel, is freighted with the tension imposed by the never-appearing white folks. It was, however, laudable in its desire to showcase the talents of African-American performers who were denied opportunities in Hollywood." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Feb 10, 2007
 
Carmen Jones (1954)75%
/
3/5
 
"Affecting, if rather esoteric." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Feb 9, 2007
 
My Name Is Albert Ayler (2007)94%
/
3/5
 
"It's hard to go wrong with a cute liddle piggy." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Feb 9, 2007
 
Charlotte's Web (2006)78%
/
2/5
 
"There's zero chemistry between the leads; for all their passionate declarations of love, you never believe they've even spoken to each other before the cameras start turning over." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 25, 2006
 
Something New (2006)61%
/
4/5
 
"One of The Asphalt Jungle's strengths is that the crims seem about as thick as you suspect they would be in real life: no Cruise or Clooney-style braniac super-athletes here." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Nov 4, 2006
 
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)96%
/
4/5
 
"An impressively creepy adaptation of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Jun 3, 2006
 
The Innocents (1961)95%
/
5/5
 
"A work of moving ideological commitment as well as beautifully detailed orchestration." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 18, 2006
 
Army of Shadows (1969)97%
/
4/5
 
"There's no denying that it's pretty vicious humour, and pretty puerile too, but like previously successful purveyors of such past-the-U-bend comedy, its fresh-faced enthusiasm makes it invulnerable to... tired accusations." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 25, 2003
 
Jackass: The Movie (2002)49%
/
4/5
 
"Here is a documentary that should be mandatory viewing for anyone interested in globalisation that, war or no war, remains one of the most contentious issues of our times." -- Guardian [UK]
Posted Mar 25, 2003
 
Life and Debt (2001)90%
