3/6
 
"Apart from a fascination with the hate-spitting mouth and throat of Lyubov Petrova’s vocally pyrotechnic Queen of the Night, the visual gimmicks are individually tolerable. But they don’t add up to anything particular." -- Time Out

The Magic Flute (2006)69%
/
 
"Very funny." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
John Waters: This Filthy World (2007)100%
/
 
"Gypsy Caravan – When the Road Bends evokes the US tour of Roma musicians whose astonishing diversity ranges from the Indian group with their bejewelled drag dancer to oompah-based Romanians." -- Financial Times

Gypsy Caravan (2006)85%

"Lovely performances all round create small-town competitiveness, frustrations and aspirations." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Rocket Science (2007)84%
/
 
"The film’s too long but when it works, as in a slickly choreographed military induction scene with Taymor’s trademark giant puppets and carnival heads, it’s exhilarating." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Across the Universe (2007)53%
/
 
"The downbeat mood convinces. What might have been tedious becomes an involving and nail-biting thriller." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
The Right of the Weakest (2006)67%
/
 
"The film’s final unforgivable fault is its sheer, plodding dullness." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
The Brave One (2007)43%
/
 
"A potentially corny plot is stylishly executed, abetted by a perfect cast." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 29, 2007
 
Michael Clayton (2007)91%
/
 
"A modern classic? A brilliant vignette of a certain time and attitudes? A self-indulgent jeu d’esprit? One thing is certain: Richard E. Grant touched greatness." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Withnail and I (1988)96%
/
 
"Not so much shapelessness as unvaried pace and emotional monotony spoil the engaging Small Engine Repair." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Small Engine Repair (2006)86%
/
 
"Too shapeless and unplotted; and Mangan’s not-too-ruffled rueful affability hails more from sitcom land." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Someone Else (2006)50%
/
 
"Pegg exudes his usual air of faint self-congratulation playing an unlikeable prat whom nobody in their right mind would prefer to the high- flying Azariah or indeed to anyone." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)48%
/
 
"A handful of brilliant performances makes Atonement worth seeing." -- Financial Times
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
Atonement (2007)82%
/
 
"The ingredients of the German original Mostly Martha this time produce a cliché Chinese dish, forgotten a mere five minutes later." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
No Reservations (2007)39%
/
 
"Lurches on too long and topples into bathos." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
Death Sentence (2007)17%
/
 
"It all rather sidesteps the question of why reluctant manager Samuel L. Jackson fails to demand a written disclaimer from a guest insisting on a room that has seen 56 deaths, including drowning in chicken soup." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
1408 (2007)78%
/
 
"Inertly plotted, haltingly paced, further embarrassed by Bob Hoskins in shyly lovesick mode, this broken-backed mess is fitfully illuminated by Anthony Head in a camp turn and the American Stockard Channing, her style as immaculate as her English accent." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Sparkle (2007)78%
/
 
"Amateurishly written, scarcely acted tosh." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Copying Beethoven (2006)26%
/
 
"Eagle vs Shark lays on the whimsy with a trowel, almost smothering the real talent of an endearing cast. Provincial New Zealand." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)54%
/
 
"Bollywood cheerfully meets – not Hollywood, exactly, more straight-to-video." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Marigold (2007)35%
/
 
"The central European tradition of failed aspirations, lost ideals and forlorn eccentrics goes back to early Forman, or indeed Chekhov, but the Latin Romanians bring their own awareness of the distant big city alternately beckoning and frightening." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
12:08 East of Bucharest (2007)95%
/
 
"Here is the French countryside at its most sinister: sideways glances from hostile natives, inbred yokels, disappearing children, corrupt politicians . . ." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Fissures (2007)73%
/
 
"A rattling yarn exuberantly told, crunchingly violent but not too sadistic." -- Financial Times
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)93%
/
 
"Two attempts at a movie spliced uneasily into one." -- Time Out
Posted Jun 24, 2006
 
Ciao! Manhattan (1972)60%

"U-Carmen hits the bull’s eye, 'Toreador’s or not." -- Time Out
