A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006) |
"A compelling documentary, wrought with a dry rationalism and presenting the horrifying case of the stuff that's both "the bloodstream of the world economy" and "the excrement of the devil"." |

A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"this dystopian paranoid thriller tracks addiction in all its highs and lows, and offers a dignified elegy for its misguided casualties." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 4/5 |
A Woman In Winter (2005) |
"An unquantifiable mystery with an intellectual seriousness to match its visual exuberance -- and it's about time, too." |
Anton Bitel |

A Woman In Winter (2005) |
"listen very carefully [to the making-of featurette], and you will hear Jobson reveal just a little bit of his own interpretation of the film - something that he rather studiously avoids doing in the commentary." |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"So far out it ain't never coming back. This flamboyant vehicle for The Beatles' music is boldness exemplified - even if it does frequently trip on its own ambition." |

Act of Violence (1948) |

Adam (2009) |
"A charming, quietly satisfying work, Adam is a commendable film. Sensitively written and directed by Mayer, it's given shape and dimensionality by Dancy, who delivers a tremendous performance that lends the film genuine humanity." |
James Mottram |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"There are sporadic laughs to be had from this gruesome guff, but most of them are nervous relieved titters when its not as bad as you feared rather than bellylaughs of genuine amusement." |

Adam's Rib (1949) |
"An impeccably crafted and scripted classic." |

Tomato |
Adaptation (2002) |
"Adaptation would all be insufferably clever-clever were its motivation not so genuine. Instead it is experimental, funny, with a tightly-repressed anger and a desire to dig out truth rather than take refuge in the usual artifice." |
