—	——	Any Day Now ()	— Screen International Posted May 15, 2012
	63%	Lymelife (2008)	" Culkin and Roberts hit the right balance of savviness and clumsiness as teenagers who are smart enough to see what their parents try to conceal." — Screen International Posted May 14, 2012
—	60%	Cherry (2010)	— Screen International Posted Feb 17, 2012
—	——	Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (2012)	— Screen International Posted Feb 9, 2012

—	——	Teddy: It's Gonna Be a Bear (2011)	— Screen International Posted Jan 26, 2012
	——	My Brother The Devil ()	" The radiance of My Brother The Devil should also work as an audition tape for Letitia Wright." — Screen International Posted Jan 26, 2012
	60%	Bachelorette ()	" Leslye Headland's directorial debut, adapting her own stage play, runs on nastiness with a dose of romance. It doesn't reinvent anything, but it keeps the bile flowing." — Screen International Posted Jan 24, 2012
—	64%	Red Hook Summer (2012)	— Screen International Posted Jan 24, 2012
	80%	Searching for Sugar Man (2012)	" In a deft interplay of dogged investigation and randomness, Bendjelloul shows how facts surface to dispel a persistent myth that Rodriguez shot himself on stage." — Screen International Posted Jan 21, 2012
	78%	The Queen of Versailles (2012)	" If the film intends to show that any of the Siegels have gained any wisdom from hardship, we don't see it." — Screen International Posted Jan 21, 2012
—	100%	Livide (Livid) ()	— Screen International Posted Sep 14, 2011
	83%	Circumstance (2011)	" It's an auspicious beginning for a young director. Watch for the fireworks once Circumstance reaches Iran." — Screen International Posted May 9, 2011
—	——	The Bleeding (2011)	— Screen International Posted Apr 25, 2011
—	——	Full Treatment (De Vrais Mensonges) ()	— Screen International Posted Apr 23, 2011
	77%	Here (2012)	" In HERE, the landscape doesn't become a character, as the boilerplate clich� would have it, but the brief-encounter romance becomes a proto-documentary." — Screen International Posted Apr 4, 2011
	44%	The Catechism Cataclysm (2011)	" Watching the lazy surreal odyssey unfold, you might be tempted to see The Catechism Cataclysm as a metaphor about telling a story, or about the futility of telling a story." — Screen International Posted Apr 4, 2011
	67%	Lord Byron (2011)	" Lord Byron is best seen as an experiment in telling the simplest of stories with the simplest of means." — Screen International Posted Apr 4, 2011
	79%	The Mill and the Cross (2011)	" The epic film is a breakthrough in transforming a painting into a moving picture, but sadly the drama doesn't rise to the level of its novelty and ambition." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	The Oregonian (2011)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Rebirth ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	73%	POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011)	" The key product on the screen here is Morgan Spurlock, with plenty of style and attitude." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	17%	Flypaper (2011)	" The film is a heist-and-hostage comedy that reminds you that criminals, under pressure, are as neurotic as anyone else." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	73%	Mei loi ging chaat (Future X-Cops) (2010)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	89%	Margin Call (2011)	" Chandor's script fuels intensity by packing the drama into a tight window." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	The Bengali Detective ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Bad Lord Byron (1994)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	17%	The Art of Getting By (2011)	" Gavin Wiesen is cooking with a recipe in his screenplay, and it's a bland reheated one." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	68%	Our Idiot Brother (2011)	" Paul Rudd makes this ordinary comedy something special." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	81%	Life in a Day (2011)	" Ingenious [and] warmhearted." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Here (2009)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	67%	Hobo With a Shotgun (2011)	" [The filmmakers] infuse originality into the one-against-all tale by thinking outside the horror toolbox." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	13%	I Melt with You (2011)	" Despite its cast, I Melt With You, with all its explosive tactility, doesn't offer much that you won't get from watching anything by Danny Boyle, who seems one of its stylistic roadmaps." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	56%	Septien (2011)	" Tully is comfortable enough with his own material that he doesn't overplay gags. His parodies are odd enough to have a comic freshness, even in the well-traveled field of gothic mockery." — Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Ice Castles (2010) (2010)	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
—	——	Little Birds ()	— Screen International Posted Feb 10, 2011
	96%	Exit Through The Gift Shop (2010)	" Weak production values don't matter in this fascinating look at the making of an art charlatan. Unwittingly, it seems, Banksy met and filmed his match." — Screen International Posted Jan 28, 2010
	68%	The Runaways (2010)	" A vivid period piece, The Runaways is anything but an extended music video." — Screen International Posted Jan 26, 2010
	74%	Splice (2010)	" Natali's experiment works." — Screen International Posted Jan 26, 2010
	94%	Winter's Bone (2010)	" Austere and grimly realistic." — Screen International Posted Jan 26, 2010
	54%	Welcome to the Rileys (2010)	" Welcome To The Rileys has its heart in the right place, but the drama falters as it tends towards the solemnly earnest." — Screen International Posted Jan 25, 2010
	81%	Four Lions (2010)	" Daring and potentially offensive, this hilarious satire may be too biting for its own good." — Screen International Posted Jan 25, 2010
	55%	The Killer Inside Me (2010)	" Audiences up to their ears in serial killers may enter this film, thinking they already know them all. Winterbottom will prove them wrong." — Screen International Posted Jan 25, 2010
	90%	Every Little Step (2009)	" The documentary, edited down from some 400 hours, is packed with crowd-pleasing moments." — Screen International Posted Dec 16, 2009
	50%	Suck (2010)	" Stefaniuk, a one-man band as writer, director, actor and author of seven of the film's songs, leavens the schtick of band humour with vampire lore." — Screen International Posted Sep 15, 2009
	9%	My Life in Ruins (Driving Aphrodite) (2009)	" The film has the feel of a vaudeville show, with a series of stock characters entering and exiting, hamming for the camera as they go." — Screen International Posted May 27, 2009
	87%	Amreeka (2009)	" Newcomer Cherien Dabis directs Amreeka with a sure hand which takes the film beyond the cliches and sentimentality of the standard immigrant saga." — Screendaily Posted May 14, 2009
