Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2/5 90% Séraphine (2009) " 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." — Film4
Posted Nov 27, 2009
2/5 48% Glorious 39 (2009) " Poliakoff's flaccid script and indulgent cut undermines a beautifully shot thriller with an excellent cast and original central idea." — Film4
Posted Nov 20, 2009
2/5 22% Never Back Down (2008) " Come back Mr Miyagi, all is forgiven." — BBC
Posted Apr 8, 2008
2/5 94% My Name Is Albert Ayler (2008) " An interesting history of a leading figure in an important American artform." — BBC
Posted Feb 9, 2007
2/5 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
2/4 36% Niagara Motel (2006) " 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
3/5 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
3/5 52% Margot at the Wedding (2007) " Margot oozes poison from start to finish, challenging you to give a damn." — BBC
Posted Feb 26, 2008
3/5 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
3/5 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
3/5 90% 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
3/5 90% Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005) " Enjoyable whether you're a fan of the music or not." — BBC
Posted May 6, 2006
3/5 72% 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
3/5 95% The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005) " In the spirit of all good documentaries, Wild Parrots transcends its ostensive subject." — BBC
Posted Dec 6, 2005
3/5 25% Appurushîdo (Appleseed) (2004) " There is plenty to admire from a technical and artistic standpoint." — BBC
Posted Aug 16, 2005
3/5 89% Machuca (2004) " 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
3.5/5 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." — Film4
Posted Jan 15, 2007
4/5 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
4/5 85% The Hoax (2007) " A tremendous shaggy dog story that bounds capably between comedy and tragedy." — BBC
Posted Jul 31, 2007
4/5 70% Torremolinos 73 (2005) " Shifts in tone but always remains affectingly sweet and human." — BBC
Posted Jun 21, 2005
5/5 89% 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
