—	——	20 ans d'écart ()	— Variety Posted May 2, 2013
	73%	Dead Man's Burden (2013)	" A slow-burning oater that's not gun-shy when it matters, Dead Man's Burden reps an impressive first feature from producer-turned-helmer Jared Moshe." — Variety Posted Apr 30, 2013
	——	Mood Indigo ()	" Sy, Maiga and the others play second fiddle not only to the leads but especially to the visual effects, which are indeed impressive, even if quite a few are reminiscent of Gondry's previous films or musicvids." — Variety Posted Apr 23, 2013
	56%	Eddie The Sleepwalking Cannibal (2013)	" Thankfully, Lindhardt keeps things together with an appealing performance that constantly oscillates between drama and very light, dry humor without sacrificing the slightly otherworldly nature of his character." — Variety Posted Apr 5, 2013
	81%	Renoir (2013)	" [An] atmospheric, well-acted period piece." — Variety Posted Mar 28, 2013
	16%	A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013)	" Swan is more of a doodle than a fully formed idea, though not necessarily less enjoyable for it, since it was clearly intended to be an undisciplined, anything-goes kinda story." — Variety Posted Feb 4, 2013
	——	The Snitch Cartel ()	" A snazzy, fast-paced pic that's nonetheless somewhat enslaved by the get-rich-quick and crime-doesn't-pay cliches that finally trip up the lowlife protags." — Variety Posted Jan 29, 2013

—	——	Antoki no inochi (Life Back Then) ()	— Variety Posted Jan 22, 2013

—	——	Kanenas (Nobody) ()	— Variety Posted Jan 22, 2013
	75%	Leviathan (2013)	" The pic contains several striking visuals that range from disturbing to beautiful." — Variety Posted Dec 18, 2012
	89%	Consuming Spirits (2012)	" This labor of love from do-it-all animator Chris Sullivan has the same rough-edged, cantankerous charms as the characters that populate it." — Variety Posted Dec 12, 2012
	77%	Any Day Now (2012)	" Acting from beneath the least flattering haircut this side of the Bee Gees, Cumming delivers what is possibly his best performance to date." — Variety Posted Nov 27, 2012
	——	Un plan parfait ()	" The couple's chemistry is persuasive, especially in the crucial second half, and Chaumeil again demonstrates a keen eye for balancing character and situational comedy against a glamorous backdrop." — Variety Posted Nov 5, 2012
	——	Dark Blood (1993)	" Phoenix exerts a suitably charismatic and commanding air in his final role, making Boy a complex, fully mature character." — Variety Posted Oct 22, 2012

	90%	The Well Digger's Daughter (2012)	" The humanist spirit of Gallic novelist-director Marcel Pagnol is alive and well in the old-fashionedly sincere The Well-Digger's Daughter." — Variety Posted Jul 16, 2012
—	12%	The Spy Next Door (2010)	— Variety Posted Jul 13, 2012
	73%	The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)	" A mostly slick, entertaining and emotionally involving recombination of fresh and familiar elements." — Variety Posted Jun 21, 2012

—	——	Sur la piste du Marsupilami (HOUBA! On the Trail of the Marsupilami) ()	— Variety Posted May 30, 2012
—	——	Adieu Berthe, l'enterrement de mémé ()	— Variety Posted May 24, 2012
	90%	The Hunt (2013)	" Known for his often icy and violent characters, Mikkelsen impresses here as a warm-hearted man who finds himself caught up in a situation way beyond his control." — Variety Posted May 22, 2012
—	——	Au Galop ()	— Variety Posted May 22, 2012
—	——	Alyah ()	— Variety Posted May 22, 2012
—	0%	Confession of a Child of the Century ()	— Variety Posted May 22, 2012
	29%	Girl In Progress (2012)	" The lack of connective tissue and more explicitly drawn parallels between the storylines drags the pic down to the level of a basic TV series." — Variety Posted May 10, 2012

—	——	The Dark Side Of Chocolate ()	— Variety Posted Mar 7, 2012
	89%	Our School (2013)	" Shot on video, the film showcases the stunted development of its protagonists and of a country that seems not entirely ready to let its preconceived ideas about the Roma go." — Cineuropa Posted Mar 5, 2012
