Rotten 2/5	Fresh 89%	Séraphine (2008)	" Depends on your levels of Christmas spirit. Nativity either glorifies the charming amateurishness of the British school play or celebrates the slapdash incompetence of the British film industry." — Channel 4 Film Posted Nov 27, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 50%	Glorious 39 (2009)	" Poliakoff's flaccid script and indulgent cut undermines a beautifully shot thriller with an excellent cast and original central idea." — Channel 4 Film Posted Nov 20, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 98%	The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)	" The Devil Came On Horseback sets out to shock. The images caught by Steidle's camera will stay with you long after his personal story - given too much time in relation to events - has faded from memory." — BBC Posted Apr 11, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 24%	Never Back Down (2008)	" Come back Mr Miyagi, all is forgiven." — BBC Posted Apr 8, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 52%	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	" Margot oozes poison from start to finish, challenging you to give a damn." — BBC Posted Feb 26, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 65%	Be Kind Rewind (2008)	" Moments of Gondry inspiration make Be Kind Rewind worth your time, even if you decide to wait for the video." — BBC Posted Feb 22, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	2 Days In Paris (2007)	" A playful comedy, which shows off a wicked sense of humour and a real understanding of relationships." — BBC Posted Aug 31, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 85%	The Hoax (2007)	" A tremendous shaggy dog story that bounds capably between comedy and tragedy." — BBC Posted Jul 31, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 74%	The Illusionist (2006)	" Not everyone will be taken in by the plot's final twist, but even if you guess how Eisenheim does it, you'll be won over by his showmanship." — BBC Posted Feb 27, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 94%	My Name Is Albert Ayler (2007)	" An interesting history of a leading figure in an important American artform." — BBC Posted Feb 9, 2007
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 76%	Rocky Balboa (2006)	" If geriatric turtles and a dead wife sound like a slow start, that's the point. Rocky films are essentially exercises in delayed gratification." — Channel 4 Film Posted Jan 15, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 91%	Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006)	" ...Neil Young has experimented with film many times, but this is by far the most accessible cinematic treatment of his music; a troubadour at the top of his game." — BBC Posted Oct 3, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 90%	Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005)	" Enjoyable whether you're a fan of the music or not." — BBC Posted May 6, 2006
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 88%	The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)	" Rock 'n' roll's capacity for recycling legend means the stories of Johnston's life, and the way in which they're told, could easily fall into cliché. Instead they are original, engrossing and sometimes heartbreaking." — BBC Posted May 6, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 71%	Only Human (2006)	" An energetic, colourful farce that attempts, in its own small way, to figure out why people find it so hard to live in harmony." — BBC Posted Jan 7, 2006
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 95%	Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005)	" *In the spirit of all good documentaries, Wild Parrots* transcends its ostensive subject.*" — BBC* Posted Dec 6, 2005
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 38%	Niagara Motel (2005)	" Yates has given himself so many stories to tell here that his only plausible excuse for Niagara Motel's total lack of dramatic tension or laughs is a script that fails to include a solitary good line." — BBC Posted Dec 6, 2005
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 89%	William Eggleston In The Real World (2005)	" As a subject, he's reluctant to navel gaze, and his words -- subtitled because of his low, mumbling speech -- rarely provide an insight into his talent." — BBC Posted Dec 6, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 22%	Appleseed (2004)	" There is plenty to admire from a technical and artistic standpoint." — BBC Posted Aug 16, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 72%	Torremolinos 73 (2005)	" Shifts in tone but always remains affectingly sweet and human." — BBC Posted Jun 21, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 89%	Machuca (2005)	" An eloquent and moving take on the tragedy of a society that attacks its own and successfully humanises difficult ideas of political and class loyalty." — BBC Posted May 10, 2005
