4/5	86%	Killer Joe ()	" With Killer Joe, a black comedy thriller adapted from a play by Tracy Letts, Friedkin seems to have recaptured some of that youthful energy." — This is London Posted Sep 8, 2011
—	81%	Wuthering Heights ()	— Screen International Posted Sep 7, 2011
—	——	Alps ()	— Screen International Posted Sep 6, 2011
4/5	71%	Carnage (2011)	" Celebrates an old-fashioned, underrated cinematic pleasure: the chance to see an ensemble cast of fine actors sparring with each other, and at the top of their game." — This is London Posted Sep 1, 2011
—	——	Corpo Celeste ()	— Screen International Posted Jun 17, 2011
—	——	Beauty & the Briefcase (2011)	— Screen International Posted May 19, 2011
	78%	Melancholia (2011)	" For all the film's command of dark fairy-tale atmosphere it's such a long and sluggish haul that many in the audience will find themselves cheering on the apocalypse." — Screen International Posted May 19, 2011
	84%	The Tree of Life (2011)	" The Tree Of Life has moments of breathtaking visual and aural beauty, but in the end it has us longing for the days of Badlands, Days Of Heaven or The Thin Red Line, when the Texan auteur also knew how to spin a good yarn." — Screen International Posted May 17, 2011
	92%	Take Shelter (2011)	" The film's greatest strength though is the way it combines hints that we're watching a parable of the new US climate of anxiety with an unflinching dedication to the reality of its characters' plights." — Screen International Posted May 17, 2011
—	36%	We Have a Pope (2012)	— Screen International Posted May 13, 2011
	95%	13 Assassins (2011)	" Once the Seven-Samurai-style band of brothers is assembled, 13 Assassins is pure pleasure: and it culminates in a magnificent 45-minute showdown that has to be the best final battle sequence in cinema since, oh, Kill Bill at least." — Screen International Posted Apr 27, 2011
—	71%	An Englishman in New York (2009)	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	29%	The Tempest (2010)	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	54%	Salt of This Sea (Milh Hadha al-Bahr) (2010)	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	——	Jiabiangou (The Ditch) ()	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	——	Rolling Stones: Stones in Exile (2010)	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
	80%	Barney's Version (2011)	" Barney's Version starts fumblingly in picaresque mode, and only really hits its narrative and emotional stride in its second half." — Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	——	Lope ()	— Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
	83%	Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2011)	" There's a tasty idea in here, and it's entertainingly executed: graft a detective story onto a historical martial arts actioner set during the Tang dynasty, and see what emerges." — Screen International Posted Apr 22, 2011
—	——	State of Violence ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 17, 2011
—	93%	The Secret World of Arrietty (2012)	— Screen International Posted Feb 16, 2011
—	——	Dernier Etage Gauche Gauche ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 16, 2011
	93%	Coriolanus (2011)	" Fiennes fully rises to the challenge of the role: petulant, brave, arrogant, loyal only (to an almost homoerotic extent) to fellow soldiers, but fatally in thrall to his stronger mother." — Screen International Posted Feb 15, 2011
—	——	Yelling to the Sky ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 14, 2011
—	——	The Absent (2011)	— Screen International Posted Feb 12, 2011
—	——	Kill Me Please ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Qualunquemente ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Prey (2010)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
5/5	87%	Black Swan (2010)	" Rarely has dance been used in film with such narrative thrust and verve, and rarely have the strains of dramatic performance been so intriguingly unpicked." — This is London Posted Sep 1, 2010
	80%	The Milk of Sorrow (La Teta Asustada) (2010)	" Arthouse audiences will find themselves dipping in and out of engagement but the story is too contrived in the long run to resonate much beyond its own four walls." — Screen International Posted Feb 2, 2010
	100%	My Neighbor, My KIller (2009)	" The Rwandan genocide of 1994 has spawned a number of feature films, but Anne Aghion's remarkable documentary about the 'Gacaca' community tribunals is the most calmly moving guide yet to the emotional landscape of those who were left behind." — Screen International Posted Jan 20, 2010
	91%	Gomorrah (Gomorra) (2008)	" Probably the most authentic and unsentimental mafia movie ever to come out of Italy." — Screen International Posted Dec 16, 2009
	95%	Goodbye Solo (2009)	" An odd-couple relationship fuels a slow-burning but ultimately moving emotional and spiritual journey in Ramin Bahrani's third feature." — Screen International Posted Dec 16, 2009
	85%	A Single Man (2009)	" Fashion designer Tom Ford gets it spectacularly right first time round in his directorial debut." — Screen International Posted Dec 11, 2009
	87%	The Hole (2009)	" Though it's a likeable story with a decent pop-psychology twist, the big dramatic problem with The Hole is the way its cute atmosphere and Disney-style teen bonding sessions and scary, thriller elements keep cancelling each other out." — Screen International Posted Sep 24, 2009
—	——	Nang mai ()	— Screen International Posted Sep 15, 2009
	76%	Captain Abu Raed (2007)	" A moving dramatic fable about an elderly airport janitor's relationship with a bunch of Amman street kids." — Screen International Posted Sep 4, 2009
	53%	The Thorn in the Heart (L'�pine dans le coeur) (2010)	" Thorn In The Heart reads like an honest, considered portrait of a remarkable woman, but it's not much more than an amuse-bouche for Gondry fans." — Screen International Posted May 17, 2009
	91%	Vengeance (Fuk sau) (2010)	" To's visual style and soundscapes and the choreography of the film's bullet ballet provide reasons to watch, but the contrived plot, some wooden English dialogue and Hallyday's stilted perfomance derail proceedings well before the final showdown." — Screen International Posted May 17, 2009
	71%	Tetro (2009)	" [Builds] towards a cathartic third-act sequence (set among the glaciers of Patagonia) which does, finally, possess a sort of weird power. But it's a long stretch to get there." — Screen International Posted May 14, 2009
	71%	Tetro (2009)	" Although it feels at times like a vanity project, some strong performances - most notably by Spanish actress Maribel Verdu, but also Vincent Gallo in the title role and newcomer Alden Ehrenreich - save all but Tetro's most cringeworthy lines." — Screendaily Posted May 14, 2009
