3/5 73% Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) " It's all very sweet and there's no mistaking how the film's going to end. But it's also smart, funny and further proof of Michael Cera's comic talent." — Little White Lies
Posted Jan 30, 2009
3/5 86% Le Silence de Lorna (The Silence of Lorna) (Lorna's Silence) (2008) " Possibly the beginning of a new direction for the brothers, The Silence Of Lorna gathers force slowly and deliberately, yet lacks the intimacy of the directors' earlier films." — Film4
Posted Nov 28, 2008
3/5 67% Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2007) " For anyone interested in the life and work of Lindsay Anderson, however, and indeed the British New Wave more generally, Never Apologize is an illuminating piece of film." — Film4
Posted Sep 5, 2008
3/5 69% The Wackness (2008) " An amiable but essentially empty film made enjoyable by a decent soundtrack, funny dialogue and Ben Kingsley's mad doctor." — Film4
Posted Aug 29, 2008
3/5 86% Mongol (2008) " A beautiful and ambitious film flawed by its dogged determination to cast Genghis Khan in a new light, the best that can be hoped is that Mongol provides a stage for better things in the forthcoming films." — Film4
Posted Jun 6, 2008
3/5 73% Private Property (Nue propriete) (2007) " Ingeniously uncomfortable but occasionally too opaque, Private Property is a darkly inventive family drama." — Film4
Posted Apr 18, 2008
3/5 83% Out of the Blue (Aramoana) (2007) " A strong drama clearly dedicated to exploring its real life events, if not hugely memorable in its own right." — Film4
Posted Mar 14, 2008
2/5 79% Black Water (2008) " Well acted and all the more engaging for having been based on a true story, ultimately Black Water lacks teeth." — Film4
Posted Feb 22, 2008
2/5 37% The Killing of John Lennon (2006) " Tense until the murder, but Piddington assumes we all care as much about Chapman as he does." — Little White Lies
Posted Dec 7, 2007
3/5 62% Anna M. (2007) " With a strong performance from Isabelle Carré, Anna M. is an entertaining film, but it is also confused and slight, and like its anti-heroine, is in need of a firmer grip on reality." — Film4
Posted Nov 15, 2007
79% A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2007) " Simple message is powerful and compelling." — Little White Lies
Posted Nov 7, 2007
4/5 84% Air Guitar Nation (2006) " A genuinely funny and absorbing documentary." — Little White Lies
Posted Nov 7, 2007
4/5 97% Once (2007) " A rare innocence and a fresh approach to filmmaking make this a thoroughly charming and unconventional love story." — Film4
Posted Oct 19, 2007
3/5 94% The Singer (Quand j'etais chanteur) (2006) " An interesting and unusual love story." — Little White Lies
Posted Sep 28, 2007
4/5 80% Yella (2008) " A rich, inventive and atmospheric thriller that is somehow able to reveal the final twist while retaining its mysterious allure." — Film4
Posted Sep 21, 2007
3/5 85% Le Serpent (The Snake) (2006) " A penchant for silliness and a tabloid-ready storyline mean The Serpent is a decent thriller that loses some of its impact as it unfolds, but remains a well-paced and enjoyable film." — Film4
Posted Sep 14, 2007
2/5 50% Someone Else (2006) " A muzak rendition of Take That's 'Back For Good' plays over the montage that ends the film. It seems a fittingly empty conclusion to a story that never really engages with its audience." — Film4
Posted Sep 7, 2007
79% Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) " Goes beyond front-line journalism to show the men behind the guns." — Little White Lies
Posted Jul 20, 2007
4/5 72% Golden Door (2007) " A wonderfully poetic film offering a fresh perspective on America's early immigrants, Golden Door is as affecting as it is innovative" — Film4
