—	——	Echolot ()	— Screen International Posted May 2, 2013
2/5	27%	Life Just Is ()	" Pretensions toward Scandinavian arthouse territory (one character reads existential philosophy and is tormented by visions of St Francis) sit awkwardly." — Total Film Posted Nov 30, 2012
3/5	68%	Great Expectations (2013)	" It's all very Tim Burton - but eccentric Victoriana is a fitting spin on a familiar tale." — Little White Lies Posted Nov 29, 2012
4/5	97%	Call Me Kuchu (2013)	" A timely, gut-wrenching but ultimately hopeful work." — Total Film Posted Oct 29, 2012
3/5	51%	Pusher (2012)	" Gets plenty right but lacks the hard-hitting vibe of the cult original, or a fresh take on gangster-pic London." — Total Film Posted Sep 28, 2012
4/5	94%	Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel (2012)	" With whimsy and wit to match the woman herself, this documentary transcends stereotype to celebrate a complex, vibrant and influential figure." — Little White Lies Posted Sep 20, 2012
3/5	94%	Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel (2012)	" A fashion world Who's Who offer accolades, while Vreeland's vulnerabilities are revealed in interviews telling how, ridiculed by her socialite mother as ugly, she invented herself on her own terms." — Total Film Posted Sep 10, 2012
4/5	70%	Keyhole (2012)	" Though self-referential to a fault, the deadpan humour, frayed logic and monochrome dazzle cast their own richly peculiar spell." — Total Film Posted Sep 3, 2012
4/5	86%	Tabu (2012)	" This blend of tongue-in-cheek exoticism and desire so strong it makes crocodiles melancholic amply rewards your patience." — Total Film Posted Aug 28, 2012
4/5	100%	Nostalgia for the Light (2011)	" Sticking in the mind, Nostalgia for the Light leaves much food for thought on life's important questions." — Little White Lies Posted Jul 12, 2012
2/5	43%	7 Days in Havana ()	" Despite an impressive roll-call of talent, this seven-tale Cuba-set anthology never strays far from touristy clichés." — Total Film Posted Jun 29, 2012
4/5	80%	We Are Poets ()	" We root for these hugely likeable young artists as they develop impressive voices for their anguish and ideals, and share in their suspense as the big day arrives." — Total Film Posted Jun 28, 2012
3/5	63%	The Source (La source des femmes) ()	" The mix of female empowerment and Middle eastern colour is kept just on the right side of schmaltzy by firecracker turns from Leïla Bekhti as the headstrong strike-leader and Biyouna as a formidable widower." — Total Film Posted May 30, 2012
4/5	99%	Bill Cunningham New York (2011)	" A doc that'll make more than just fashionistas smile." — Total Film Posted Mar 5, 2012
2/5	21%	Snow Flower And The Secret Fan (2011)	" This rich weave of eras looks pretty, but plays to an exoticised vision of old-world China, even as it demystifies the excruciating custom of foot-binding." — Total Film Posted Nov 3, 2011
3/5	40%	Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston (2012)	" This documentary seeks out bestie Liza Minnelli and others to unearth the man behind the lifestyle." — Total Film Posted Sep 19, 2011
4/5	100%	Poetry (2011)	" Devoid of the ultra-violence so often associated with Korean cinema, Poetry is quiet and unhurried, making its portrait of social bleakness all the more impactful." — Total Film Posted Jul 27, 2011
3/5	95%	One Life (2013)	" This BBC Earth animal-behaviour doco catches the sheer jaw-dropping mentalness of the creature kingdom round the globe." — Total Film Posted Jul 13, 2011
2/5	40%	Life Goes On (2010)	" Holds back no sentimental flourishes in its portrayal of the emotionally fraught relationships of an Indian doctor's family." — Total Film Posted Mar 9, 2011
3/5	80%	Carmen 3d (2011)	" Footage of a packed Royal Opera House puts us right inside the theatre experience from the minute our 3D glasses are on, complete with an intermission for champers-quaffing." — Total Film Posted Mar 7, 2011
3/5	80%	His & Hers ()	" Wardrop's charming but bland doc opens with the proverb: "A man loves his girlfriend the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest."" — Total Film Posted Mar 3, 2011
3/5	64%	Two in the Wave (Deux de la Vague) (2010)	" Laurent probes the pair's stylistic and political differences and their friendship's collapse by letter exchange..." — Total Film Posted Feb 7, 2011
4/5	82%	Men on the Bridge ()	" An insightful, understated social portrait from Turkish director Asli Özge - which, in its use of real stories and mostly non-professional actors, verges on documentary." — Total Film Posted Jan 20, 2011
2/5	77%	Robinson in Ruins (2012)	" There are moments of real absurdist humour, but Vanessa Redgrave's droning narration over endless shots of flowers makes it feel like a combo of recent radio news and a nature-themed screensaver." — Total Film Posted Nov 17, 2010
