	"The film lacks the wit and drama that might pitch it beyond the target demographic, though judging from what makes the girls squirm in the film, it might not succeed even there." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jul 25, 2008	Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008)	54%
	"The most fun to be had at the movies this or any other recent summer." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 30, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
	"The film succeeds as a deeply involving study of men and women caught up in a whirlwind beyond their control." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jun 18, 2008	The Edge of Love (2008)	80%
	"Handsomely produced and featuring fine performances, the film will travel well to festivals and art houses where audiences respond to classy period pieces with a modern sensibility." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 22, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
	"Shot in high definition and filmed at many historic locations, the film somehow still lacks the splendor of an epic." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 19, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	42%
	"Ragged, uneven and potholed with some dire dialogue and performances, the film's cockeyed optimism and likable leads conspire to bring a smile by the time it's done." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 13, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	n/a
	"As surprising as it is delicious with an indelible performance by new star Sally Hawkins." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Feb 13, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
	"Lost in Beijing might have the Chinese censors trying to wield their scissors, but Li Yu's muddled sex drama is unlikely to cause an uproar, or make much of a stir, anywhere else." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Jan 22, 2008	Lost in Beijing (2008)	47%
	"A ramshackle but likeable story" -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 10, 2007	Man in the Chair (2007)	48%
	"It ranks with the best novel adaptations of recent times." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Dec 7, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
	"Shocking and deeply moving film about an incident in Iraq." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 16, 2007	Redacted (2007)	43%
	"Handsomely made on a low budget, the film has the polished look of a Coppola film with expert contributions from some master craftsmen. But the story is full of arcane references that many will find nonsensical, and the performances are a letdown." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Nov 6, 2007	Youth Without Youth (2007)	29%
	"Politicians, the media, educators, military commanders and a docile public all come under fire in a well-made movie that offers no answers but raises many important questions." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 24, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
	"The film looks gorgeous but the plotting is clumsy and the acting is flat." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 16, 2007	Lust, Caution (2007)	70%
	"He [Carter] may not have been the most dynamic or effective president in recent history but in Demme's snapshot he certainly appears to be the most decent." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 10, 2007	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
	"[Director] Loach is in excellent form making the most of a shrewd screenplay by Paul Laverty and drawing a winning performance from newcomer Kierston Wareing as a brassy but misguided entrepreneur." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 4, 2007	It's a Free World (2007)	93%
	"The film's masterful imagery, good performances and considerable tension overcome some clich�d characterization to leave a powerful and lasting impression." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 4, 2007	Hotel Meina (2007) (2007)	n/a
	"Inventive and very unusual account of the life and times of Bob Dylan." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 4, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	"A train ride without laughs or charm." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 4, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
	"While the film is amusing, it is disappointing that Atkinson appears content to play it safe. It would have been fun to see him aim higher." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Aug 21, 2007	Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)	50%
	"[Director Ki-duk] creates some startling images within the curious logic of his tale. It has something to do with inhaling badness and exhaling goodness but those expecting it to make sense shouldn't exactly hold their breath." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 25, 2007	Breath (2007)	60%
	"Stark but moving snapshot of men on the front line of a nation's nightmare." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 25, 2007	Alexandra (2008)	94%
	"It's never clear what it all means or even if it's supposed to mean anything. Music and silliness get the picture through to its circular ending." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 25, 2007	Mister Lonely (2008)	43%
	"Intricate and moving drama about life's struggles and near misses." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 24, 2007	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	90%
	"*Director Julian Schnabel and screenwriter Ronald Harwood have performed a small miracle in adapting for the screen Jean-Dominique Bauby's autobiography The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted May 23, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
	"A tawdry little film ostensibly about the cultural clashes resulting from the proximity of former Soviet states, such as the Ukraine, to western nations such as Austria. There is a film to be made on the topic, but this isn't it." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 22, 2007	Import/Export (2007)	60%
	"Narrow focus will limit the film's appeal severely." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 22, 2007	Tehilim (2007)	29%
	"[An] expertly fashioned documentary-style drama." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 21, 2007	A Mighty Heart (2007)	77%
	"Even though Chinese authorities forced the director to make many cuts before it could be shown in Cannes, the movie retains enormous political impact as well as being a moving drama." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 21, 2007	Blind Mountain (2008)	76%
	"The Coens' typically superior filmmaking sustains the electrifying mood for most of the picture, but they are undone by being too faithful to the source novel by Cormac McCarthy." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 19, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	95%
	"It features lots of music from that time, and it has decent performances, but it fails to make the case for its fallen star." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 17, 2007	Control (2007)	88%
	"A harrowing tale of the grim lengths to which two young women will go to end an unwelcome pregnancy in a totalitarian society that is indifferent to their fate unless it involves punishing them." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 17, 2007	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	96%
	"A smashing horror film, frightening and thrilling." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted May 9, 2007	28 Weeks Later (2007)	71%
	"Important documentary record of an extraordinary man." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 23, 2007	I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)	81%
	"All the action is staged with energy, but it gets relentless without anything really funny going on." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 20, 2007	Hot Fuzz (2007)	90%
	"An utterly charming comedy of sexual manners that should do very well wherever audiences appreciate savvy dialogue and smart, observational filmmaking." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Apr 2, 2007	2 Days In Paris (2007)	87%
	"There might be genuine Walker fans who wish to see their forgotten hero given his due, but those who have not acquired that strange taste will find the film hard to take unless it is viewed as a dead-on parody." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Mar 10, 2007	Scott Walker: 30th Century Man (2006)	92%
	"An interminable bore." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Oct 30, 2006	Inland Empire (2006)	70%
	"*The first Pierogi Western, Summer Love* is such an observant sendup of the Spaghetti variety that it falls into the trap of parody in becoming almost too serious for its own good.*" -- Hollywood Reporter* Posted Sep 20, 2006	Dead Man's Bounty (2007)	38%
	"Savvy thriller for conspiracy buffs with star performances by Binoche and Turturro." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	A Few Days in September (2006)	47%
	"Lacking depth or anything that's actually funny or sad, and with lead performers who are given more responsibility for the success of the film than they can handle, the film will be a tough sell." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	The Hottest State (2006)	35%
	"It's all quite noisy, but there doesn't seem to be very much going on as the shared confidences and female bonding are not especially convincing." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	Falling (2007)	25%
	"Writer/director Aravalo and a fine cast tell the story with great charm." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007)	69%
	"An ambitious throwback to the days of rousing all-action wartime pictures in which an intrepid loner risks everything to fight a clearly defined enemy. It succeeds on almost all fronts." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	Black Book (2007)	76%
	"A motley group of employees from an international weapons company find themselves hilariously at the business end of their own products in Christopher Smith's razor-sharp comedy horror film." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 13, 2006	Severance (2007)	65%
	"It's all quite noisy, but there doesn't seem to be very much going on as the shared confidences and female bonding are not especially convincing." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 5, 2006	Falling (2007)	25%
	"Whether or not Bobby Kennedy was the man his supporters believed him to be, the film makes a persuasive case that something important in America was silenced when he was gunned down." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 5, 2006	Bobby (2006)	45%
	"Zardoz anyone?" -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 5, 2006	The Fountain (2006)	51%
	"Alfonso Cuaron takes the classic movie formula of a cynical tough guy required to see an innocent party to safe harbor, and shoots it to pieces." -- Hollywood Reporter Posted Sep 4, 2006	Children of Men (2006)	92%
