	"A winner. Puts its tale of a southern postal worker hoping for a transfer to the C�te d'Azur through the very effective reverse psychology wringer when he ends up in the dreaded north instead - but discovers he loves it." -- european-films.net Posted Apr 25, 2008	Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis (2008)	n/a
	"A willingly schizoid portrait of a generation growing up on a continent where distances count for nothing but some gaps are still impossible to close." -- european-films.net Posted Apr 9, 2008	L...Kot Ljubezen (2008)	n/a
	"After two continent-wide trips and a plunge into the French capital's underworld, French director C�dric Klapisch stays close to home and well above the ground for Paris, his valentine to the City of Lights." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 31, 2008	Paris (2008)	n/a
	"*A meandering first half gives way to a spectacular psychological portrait of the deafening silence of pain and loneliness in Austrian writer-director G�tz Spielmann's Revanche." -- european-films.net* Posted Mar 31, 2008	Revanche (2008)	n/a
	"A gentle character sketch gradually makes way for a high-energy tale of loyalty and betrayal that is perhaps rife with clich�s but works because Yildirim has established his characters properly." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 24, 2008	Chiko (2008)	n/a
	"A showcase for Finnish acting talent and a significant step forward for Kotwica, though the closing reels of Musta J�� dilute its power as a psychological thriller in favour of plot twists more at home in a soap opera." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 24, 2008	Musta Jaa (2007)	n/a
	"Tiramisu walks a fine line between feel-good clich�s and true character development, though Van der Oest finally makes it all believable because of her direction of the actors." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 24, 2008	Tiramisu (2008)	n/a
	"Especially the first hour of Leo is a promising debut in full-out Scandinavian drama for the comedy director after his first try at something more dramatic with his charming displaced children's tale Zozo." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 24, 2008	Leo (2007)	n/a
	"This Flemish spin-off from a successful TV series never completely relinquishes its tube roots (especially in the script department) but its acting and technical prowess shout out for big-screen projection." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 19, 2008	Windkracht 10: Koksijde Rescue (2008)	n/a
	"Are the characters completely believable? No. Are the feelings the characters talk and sing about pinpointed with a precision that seems to have become a Honor� trademark? Very much so." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 17, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	66%
	"If the film makes quite an impact, it is because of its candidness and the way Panh creates a heart-breaking portrait of these 'women of joy' without once resorting to voice-over or off-camera remarks." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 12, 2008	Le Papier Ne Peut Pas Envelopper la Braise (2008)	n/a
	"Quiet, touching and poetic are not normally terms associated with vampire films, but there are no better words to describe Lat den r�tte komma in (Let the Right One in) from director Tomas Alfredson." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 12, 2008	Let Me In (2008)	n/a
	"A classroom example of how to mix different genres into a coherent whole, with some of the more daring scenes -- including a planned suicide saved by a serenade on a rooftop -- working according to their own logic." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 12, 2008	Love and Other Crimes (2008)	n/a
	"Might at first seem like the umpteenth modern update of Romeo and Juliet, though in reality Uden for k�rligheden (Outside Love) tries to grapple with complex issues as a reflection of our complex times." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 10, 2008	Outside Love (2008)	n/a
	"*The documentary Les animaux amoureux (Animals in Love)* might seem cute on paper but lacks the rigour of recent documentary hits such as La marche de l'empereur (March of the Penguins) and Earth.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Mar 10, 2008	Animals in Love (2008)	n/a
	"*Though occasional stylistic flourishes feel unnecessary, Un secret* makes for compelling viewing and C�cile de France and Patrick Bruel finally prove they are bona fide star material.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Mar 10, 2008	Un Secret (2008)	n/a
	"*In all likelihood, Ma salama Jamil* is one of the first Dogme-inspired films mostly spoken in Arabic.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Mar 3, 2008	Ma Salama Jamil (2008)	n/a
	"*'Enormous crowd-pleaser' and 'directed by Mike Leigh' were not phrases this critic ever thought he would be putting together in the same sentence, but Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky* is exactly that.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Mar 3, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	93%
	"Grimaldi, Moretti and their co-screenwriters have cunningly opened up the narrative cinematically." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 3, 2008	Quiet Chaos (2008)	n/a
	"A grungy ensemble piece that casts a fascinating spell despite its many shortcomings, Madonna's directorial debut Filth and Wisdom is equal parts naughty and nice (or filthy and wise, as the title would have it)." -- european-films.net Posted Mar 1, 2008	Filth and Wisdom (2008)	n/a
	"The greatest indication that a director is in complete control of his material is when everything seems to be casually in the right place, which certainly seems to be the case in Les amours d'Astree et de Celadon." -- european-films.net Posted Feb 28, 2008	Romance of Astree and Celadon (2008)	100%
	"It may sound like silly wordplay, but this film is nothing short of rivetting." -- european-films.net Posted Feb 18, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	68%
	"About as far away from a conventional composer biopic as Kraft's products are from real cheese." -- european-films.net Posted Feb 3, 2008	Silence Before Bach, The (2008)	91%
	"Though the film comes with a warning that it expresses only the point of view of its director, in reality, what Schroeder seems to offer is a portrait of a glib man who simply defies any conclusive description." -- european-films.net Posted Jan 30, 2008	Terror's Advocate (2007)	83%
	"A pleasant if not entirely successful addition to the Scandinavian tragicomedy genre." -- european-films.net Posted Jan 28, 2008	King of Ping Pong (2008)	n/a
	"*As a grey-haired feel-good movie, the film is a winner. But who thinks this might be Calendar Girls* with mountains is wrong; it never quite reaches that level of sophistication or bite.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Jan 22, 2008	Die Herbstzeitlosen (2006)	n/a
	"*It would be hard to guess from the final result that Balthazar has never made a film before; Ben X* takes full advantage of all that the medium has to offer.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Jan 18, 2008	Ben X (2007)	83%
	"A cute bedtime story that features spectacular photography and unaffected performances from both protagonists." -- european-films.net Posted Jan 14, 2008	The Fox & the Child (2008)	n/a
	"Tatt av kvinnen is much like a musical but only without the songs; the form has to be accepted no questions asked for the film to function. And any detected realism is surely unintended." -- european-films.net Posted Dec 20, 2007	Gone with the Woman (2007)	n/a

	"Mix the grave but clear message of An Inconvenient Truth with the alternatively raw and cute look at wildlife of La marche de l'empereur (March of the Penguins) and you will get Earth, a bona fide documentary hit." -- european-films.net Posted Dec 13, 2007	Earth (2007)	100%
	"The true interest of Eduart lies in the way it offers an Albanian immigrant's point of view as presented through Greek eyes, with the Stockholm syndrome and Freudian and ancient Greek concepts playing out in the background." -- european-films.net Posted Nov 21, 2007	Eduart (2007)	n/a
	"*The lead actors are hot and the living is easy in the French summertime idyll Le fils de l'epicier (The Grocer's Son)." -- european-films.net* Posted Nov 5, 2007	Le Fils de l'�picier (2007)	n/a
	"If Krohmer and Knocke meticulously crafted the world Miriam inhabits, it is Gedeck's presence that makes it such a tangible mess -- which is meant as high praise indeed." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 30, 2007	Summer '04 (2006)	83%
	"Vivere is a study in contrasts that, though it has a somewhat laborious narrative structure, continues Maccarone's ascent as a strong new voice in European cinema." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 29, 2007	Vivere (2008)	47%
No Rating	Click here to read article -- european-films.net Posted Oct 27, 2007	The Island ()	n/a
	"Seduces with a surprisingly dense narrative and a decidedly French take on the role of extramarital affairs and everyone's undeniable right to happiness." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 22, 2007	T�te de maman, La (2007) (2007)	n/a
	"*As a refracted psychological portrait of longed-for motherhood, Nadine* offers a revealing glimpse of a subject not often seen on the big screen.*" -- european-films.net* Posted Oct 22, 2007	Nadine (2007)	n/a
	"Though not all of the film's 151 minutes feel indispensable, the story and mise-en-scene of this immigrant family's daily struggles are so involving that it is still well worth seeing on the big screen." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 22, 2007	La Graine et le Mulet (2007)	100%
	"*An Elizabethan-era version of the madcap energy, penny-novel intrigue and intentional historical inaccuracies of Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge!." -- european-films.net* Posted Oct 21, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
	"Deftly reunites the emotional and the political, the historical and the natural into a familiar story infused with the particular details of Cypriot and Greek-language culture." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 20, 2007	Akamas (2006)	n/a
	"However good the script, it is Decleir's finely nuanced performance that is the cement of the movie, keeping all the various elements together because his character remains believable throughout." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 15, 2007	Man Zkt Vrouw (2007)	n/a
	"While closely sticking to the traditional narrative structure of coming-of-age stories, the way in which writer-director Huolman juggles all her elements feels natural and true." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 15, 2007	Kid Svensk (2007)	n/a
	"The rage of the director can be felt in each frame and clearly shapes the pamphlet-like narrative, though the film is still a compelling examination of autism and the way the outside world tries -- and, more often, fails -- to deal with it." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 14, 2007	Elle S'appelle Sabine (2007)	n/a
	"Set in the bourgeois and vaguely intellectual Parisian bubble of Bruni Tedeschi's alter ego, it veers more towards comedy as the film progresses, earning good-hearted laughs as well as, well, whatever one may feel towards this particular milieu." -- european-films.net Posted Oct 13, 2007	Actresses (2007)	n/a
	"*That old-fashioned does not necessarily mean musty is proven by Flawless, which does not entirely do its title justice but is a deliciously entertaining heist thriller nevertheless." -- european-films.net* Posted Oct 8, 2007	Flawless (2007)	62%
	"Klopt elementen van een Agatha Christie whodunnit, een frivole chansonmusical en de kleurrijke melodramas van Douglas Sirk op tot een luchtige souffle, als is de kooktijd wel wat lang." -- bibloi.com Posted Oct 2, 2007	8 Women (2002)	77%
	"Has some trouble taking off before finally finding its way to a haunting conclusion." -- european-films.net Posted Sep 30, 2007	Control (2007)	87%
	"Unflinching would be a gentle word to describe this portrayal of a doomed humanity, but the exact point of the film beyond its doomsday message is never really clear." -- european-films.net Posted Sep 27, 2007	Gruz 200 (2007)	n/a
