Fresh 4/5	Fresh 84%	Disgrace (2009)	" It’s an enormously complicated story with great potential for reductive schmaltz, but this is avoided thanks to Anna Maria Monticelli’s sharp, sensitive screenplay and superb performances." — Time Out Posted Dec 4, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 33%	Cracks (2009)	" Scott has fashioned a film as ponderous as it is obvious, weighed down by a string-heavy soundtrack and achingly slow editing." — Time Out Posted Dec 4, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 18%	Love Happens (2009)	" The sorrowing widower is a great subject for film romance; but the point is to let the girl have a proper crack at cheering him up. And, as always with love, a GSOH would help." — Time Out Posted Oct 9, 2009
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 10%	My Life in Ruins (2009)	" Hollywood doesn’t know what to do with difference, any more than it does with ruins. It’s about time Vardalos, or someone, gave the suits a guided tour." — Time Out Posted Oct 4, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 67%	The Agent (2009)	" Beck does his best, and the dialogue crackles pleasantly, but he’s a caricature: a lying, cheating smear of ordure who doesn’t even like books. But his sin is worse than that – it’s fiction’s biggest. He’s boring." — Time Out Posted Sep 18, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 75%	Julie & Julia (2009)	" A film that’s charming, funny – especially when Streep is on screen, broadcasting her superb impression of the tall, charismatic, high-pitched Child – but leaves you with a dissatisfaction with modern life that no culinary masterpiece can relieve." — Time Out Posted Sep 11, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 65%	Adam (2009)	" It feels dishonest, which is a problem for a film so interested in truthfulness – especially one trying to reconcile that interest with the demands of a Hollywood romcom." — Time Out Posted Aug 7, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 65%	Coco Before Chanel (2009)	" Fontaine’s film is gorgeous, but its beauty is practical, almost textile, like a Chanel tweed." — Time Out Posted Jul 31, 2009
Fresh 5/6	Fresh 100%	The 400 Blows (1959)	" One of the first glistening droplets of the French New Wave." — Time Out Posted Apr 9, 2009
Fresh 3/6	Fresh 74%	The Young Victoria (2009)	" Dignified and charismatic, Blunt gives great lip-wobble, and Friend pulls off the role of sidekick, but historical twiddling can’t render Victoria’s love life interesting." — Time Out Posted Mar 6, 2009
Fresh 3/6	Rotten 23%	Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)	" If you want gritty realism, see an arthouse movie. Or shop in a pound store. As journalist Rebecca, Isla Fisher is silly and adorable – just like this adaptation of Sophie Kinsella’s novel." — Time Out Posted Feb 19, 2009
Fresh 3/6	Rotten 54%	Australia (2008)	" It’s a fine romp, epic in both ambition and visuals if not narrative – and if director Baz Luhrmann had stopped at the end of the love story’s trajectory, the audience would have left entirely happy." — Time Out Posted Jan 5, 2009
Fresh 4/6	Fresh 90%	I've Loved You So Long (2008)	" Claudel understands that his drama lies in letting two superb actresses build their characters, forge their relationship and examine their grief." — Time Out Posted Sep 26, 2008

Rotten	Rotten 50%	How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998)	" Stella's groove, like the film itself, doesn't run deep." — Sight and Sound Posted Mar 5, 2002
