Citizen Dog (2004)n/a
/
 
" Jasmine Yuen-Carrucan ("Kill Bill," "Mongol") leapfrogs into the director's chair with confidence; but her flawed, lightweight script betrays inexperience behind a keyboard."
Posted May 6, 2008
 
Cactus (2008)80%
/
 
" Ambitious pic occasionally creaks under the weight of strained metaphors, but intelligent talking heads and engagingly shambolic cartoons conquer unwieldy narrative and sporadic glibness."
Posted Apr 9, 2008
 
Global Haywire (2008)n/a
/
 
" Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming."
Posted Feb 21, 2008
 
The Machine Girl (2008)63%
/
 
" Shows the Shochiku journeyman's prowess in hitting the right buttons to move Japanese auds."
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
Kabei: Our Mother (2008)n/a
/
 
" Has abundant charm and digital trickery in the Amelie mold, but also a winning personality all its own."
Posted Jan 30, 2008
 
The Mermaid (2008)n/a
/
 
" A lack of incisive action takes the teeth out of croc pic...offering too few scares and insufficient tension for audiences to take the bait."
Posted Jan 22, 2008
 
Black Water (2007)79%
/
 
" This derivative, low-budget HD effort will be hellish for anyone outside its targeted youth audience."
Posted Nov 30, 2007
 
Gabriel (2007)n/a
/
 
" The film's brisk pacing can't hide the fuzzy logic of the tenuously structured, convoluted script."
Posted Oct 29, 2007
 
Midnight Eagle (2007)31%
/
 
" Script skillfully draws together its disparate elements and is powerful enough to transcend the film's considerable limitations."
Posted Sep 17, 2007
 
September (2007)n/a
/
 
" Visually well-mounted but narratively muddled."
Posted Sep 13, 2007
 
December Boys (2007)42%

And Along Come Tourists (2007)n/a
/
 
" Helming bow by Oz thesp Richard Roxburgh predictably leaves actors plenty of room, but the literary tone and episodic structure rob the pic of dramatic momentum."
Posted Jun 11, 2007
 
Romulus, My Father (2008)44%
/
 
" Yarn about a young carer who follows an elderly patient into the forest, strives for the mythic, but ambition is undercut by its conveniently underarticulated affectations."
Posted May 29, 2007
 
Mogari no Mori (2007)60%
/
 
" Thrills and drama are left standing on the tarmac in Boarding Gate, a limp, sleazy inanity."
Posted May 25, 2007
 
Boarding Gate (2007)24%
/
 
" Pic has a John Hughes sensibility with a Euro sexual frankness that Ferris Bueller could only dream about."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
Et Toi, T'Es Sur Qui? (2007)n/a
/
 
" Making Herman Yau's recent dreadful Hong Kong film on a similar subject, Whispers and Moans look like a narrative masterpiece by comparison, this pic borders on the inept."
Posted May 24, 2007
 
Kuaile Gongchang (2007)n/a
/
 
" Sibling rivalry is the source of violence and creativity in amusing Japanese dramedy Funuke."
Posted May 24, 2007

" Jealousy erupts quickly but steamy sex and dull narrative move at a glacial pace in Thai somnambulistic meller Ploy."
Posted May 23, 2007
 
Ploy (2008)n/a
/
 
" A wayward Japanese youth's apprenticeship with the Nipponese mafia provides an intriguing premise but little substance in French docu Young Yakuza."

Young Yakuza (2007)30%
/
 
" Strained humor gives way to maudlin melodrama in dull Irish pic Garage."
Posted May 20, 2007
 
Garage (2008)n/a
/
 
" This astounding debut from 26-year-old helmer-scripter Kadri Kousaar is well-mounted and occasionally visually innovative."
Posted May 20, 2007
 
Magnus (2007)n/a
/
 
" An outstanding perf and a methodically constructed script about the early onset of Alzheimer's disease makes Japanese meller Memories of Tomorrow an emotionally gripping experience."
Posted May 19, 2007
 
Memories of Tomorrow (2006)82%
/
 
" Somber, sad and compelling."
Posted May 17, 2007
 
Control (2007)87%

Triad Election (2007)96%
/
 
" Opportunities to emotionally bond with happenings onscreen are far and few between."
Posted Apr 14, 2007
 
The Color of Freedom (2007)44%
/
 
" An entertaining world tour of small-town movie houses and the dedicated cineastes who maintain them, Comrades in Dreams is a delight."
Posted Jan 16, 2007
 
Comrades in Dreams (2006)n/a
/
 
" Despite a fine performance by Abbie Cornish (Somersault) in the title role, film belongs to Heath Ledger in terms of narrative and identification."
Posted Oct 18, 2006
 
Candy (2006)50%
/
 
" While thesp Gina Pareno gives 200% to the titular role, the yarn's meandering tendencies will erode sympathies well before the tacked-on finale arrives."
Posted Oct 16, 2006
 
The Bet Collector (2006)n/a
/
 
" Even the pivotal weakness of [Tom] Long's dull persona can't undermine the pic's determination to confront auds intellectually and emotionally."
Posted Sep 16, 2006
 
The Book of Revelation (2006)75%
/
 
" Pic mostly fails to transcend its ramshackle structure or penetrate the inner-lives of its subjects."
Posted Sep 8, 2006
 
Paper Dolls (2006)71%
/
 
" Performances and singing are both on the money, and the film's organic, realistic feel seems to have been bolstered by the translation contribution that thesps Malefane and Andiswa Kedama made to the screenplay."
Posted Jul 28, 2006
 
U-Carmen (2007)95%
/
 
" Feature bow by helmer-scripter Morgan O'Neill has knockabout charm and dry wit, but is hampered by blind fidelity to overfamiliar and often awkwardly applied genre conventions."
Posted Jul 11, 2006
 
Solo (2005)n/a
/
 
" Despite some initial unsteadiness, helming shows considerable style as well as ambition."
Posted May 11, 2006
 
Journey From The Fall (2007)92%
/
 
" Shortland appears to have a great fascination with objects like pine needles and gas jets, but the pic's visual flourishes tend to be distracting in their restless artiness."
Posted Apr 20, 2006
 
Somersault (2006)82%
/
 
" A feisty faker is held up as a feminist idol, but her bloody death and exact source of her appeal remain a mystery."
Posted Jan 25, 2006
 
Unfolding Florence: The Many Lives of Florence Broadhurst (2005)n/a
/
 
" Herzog's eye for the weird sometimes makes the docu feel strained, but engaging characters imbue the pic with depth and emotional appeal."
Posted Sep 1, 2005
 
The White Diamond (2005)94%
/
 
" Exquisite to behold and with a stimulating storyline that mixes guns with ecological consciousness."
Posted Aug 7, 2005
 
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006)98%
/
 
" A morbid and self-important homosexual Jules & Jim for the new millennium."
