Splat	Avenue Montaigne (2007)	"Ah, the hardship of being rich and famous!"
Splat	Bamako (2006)	"That the G8's policies have been disastrous for Africa won't come as news to anyone who goes to see African art-house films."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	Blood Diamond (2006)	"DiCaprio deserves his Oscar nomination for the breathtaking intensity of his performance."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Bobby (2006)	"It makes you wish you were watching a biopic of Robert Kennedy instead."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	Cheri (2009)	"The film works best when it's being a comedy of bad manners. Hampton has honed some glittering, dartlike lines of dialogue, and they're tossed around with poised aplomb by the immaculately dressed cast."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Coraline (2009)	"It's easy to admire the film's psychedelic surrealism and its marvellous design, but it's not a great deal of fun."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Delta (2008)	"Slow, laconic Hungarian art-house fare, featuring rape, pig slaughter, and a symbolic tortoise."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	The Fountain (2006)	"The Fountain's message is that life is short, so we should make the most of it, and that's a message which should take one of two centuries, and one or two hairstyles, at most."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	The Good Shepherd (2006)	"It's a film for fans of John Le Carre, rather than Ian Fleming."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	The Invention of Lying (2009)	"A long, impressively clever sketch that gets hung up on being a sweet-and-sour romcom."	Jonathan Romney
Splat	Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)	"Doesn't have much to say except that Japanese are human beings, too."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Little Ashes (2009)	"It's an interesting scenario, but its workaday execution couldn't be further from the avant-garde aspirations of its protagonists."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Lives of the Saints (2006)	"Comes across as an obscure Renaissance play which has been badly modernised."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	Momma's Man (2008)	"It's a quiet film, with its own measured pace, but it has more painfully astute observations than most comedies with 10 times the budget."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	The Number 23 (2007)	"The answers to the story's questions are even sillier than the questions."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	O'Horten (2009)	"The awkward courtship of these two tongue-tied singletons makes for a winning tragicomic romance, with a dab of magic realism, but it's not recommended as a date movie."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	Old Joy (2006)	" Like a Raymond Carver story, it seems nothing much at first sight, but its crystallised moment reveals further dimensions the more you muse on it."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	School for Scoundrels (2006)	"It's funny at first, but then loses its way so badly that it somehow winds up as a high-tech espionage thriller."	Nicholas Barber
Tomato	Sheitan (2006)	"An eyecatching calling card for its first-time director."	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Sounds Like Teen Spirit	"Johnson never hits on a story that's worth telling, and his arch interjections about the contest marking the end of war in Europe hit all the wrong notes. Where's Terry Wogan when you need him?"	Nicholas Barber
Splat	Venus (2006)	"A threadbare comedy-drama, with an insubstantial story and the patronising, post-Pygmalion theme of a working-class slob being reformed by the power of art."	Nicholas Barber
