Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
4/5 43% Cracks (2011) " Witty dialogue buoys the psychological tension as the story spirals to its dramatic conclusion." — Total Film
Posted Dec 4, 2009
4/5 90% Love Exposure (2011) " It's as mad as a box of frogs, but a strain of melancholy romance adds emotional backbone to the gags, gore and kung fu." — Total Film
Posted Oct 30, 2009
4/5 50% Soi Cowboy () " Dislocation and desperation are the twin linchpins of Brit director Thomas Clay's Thailand-set slowburner." — Total Film
Posted Jun 12, 2009
4/5 87% Jesus Camp (2006) " This gripping shock-doc looks inside the Kids on Fire evangelical summer camp in North Dakota, where training starts young for a "new army of God" to "take back America for Christ"." — Total Film
Posted Nov 23, 2007
3/4 91% 24 City (Er shi si cheng ji) (2008) " Punctuated with eyebrow-raising poems about aeronautics factories, its treacle-paced obliqueness will frustrate some viewers. But the pay-off's a layered, haunting portrait of China in its shift to a capitalist economy." — Total Film
Posted May 6, 2010
3/5 95% Crude (2009) " There's much speechifying, with no high-octane finale - but that's near-unavoidable for a case still dragging on amid corrupt politicking." — Total Film
Posted Jan 15, 2010
3/5 65% Made in Jamaica (2006) " The haphazard structure chafes against its gritty aspirations." — Total Film
Posted Oct 23, 2009
3/5 46% Colin (2009) " If a Credit Crunch Oscar existed, his DIY chutzpah would take the gong." — Total Film
Posted Oct 23, 2009
3/5 62% Coco Before Chanel (2009) " Playing Coco's orphaned beginnings like a violin, writer/director Anne Fontaine shows a sure hand when it comes to emotional button-pushing." — Total Film
Posted Jul 31, 2009
3/5 82% Párpados Azules (Blue Eyelids) (2007) " A predictable romcom ending would be too upbeat for this bleak riff on loneliness and the delusions of fantasy." — Total Film
Posted May 8, 2009
3/5 65% The Wave (2011) " A seductive, button-nudging probe of pack-frenzy mentality. Some credibility's lost in the rush to combustion point, but the brawny direction and convincing cast make this a gripping cautionary tale." — Total Film
Posted Sep 19, 2008
3/5 69% Paris (2008) " If the interwoven tales that ensue hold few surprises, a stellar cast brings them spark." — Total Film
Posted Jul 22, 2008
3/5 43% Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) " Marconi colludes like an awestruck fan, letting the witty eccentric hold court with childhood anecdotes and quotable gems. Not that we're complaining - after all, who needs reality when the illusion's sweeter than Chanel?" — Total Film
Posted Oct 24, 2007
2/5 31% The Uninvited (2009) " Not nearly as creepy as the stylishly shot original, this version trades eerie atmosphere for clunky physical effects." — Total Film
Posted Apr 24, 2009
2/5 25% Botched (2008) " A sadly apt title for this crimer-cum-splatter-com." — Total Film
Posted Apr 18, 2008
2/5 27% Evening (2007) " Adapting from Susan Minot's bestseller, Hungarian director Lajos Koltai's (Fateless) pulls together a formidable cast - Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Toni Collette - but then leaves them to wade through a sickly stew." — Total Film
Posted Sep 21, 2007
2/5 56% The Legacy (L'Héritage) (2006) " There's intrigue here, but they're weighed down by the meandering pace and lack of dramatic payoff." — Total Film
