Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
5/5	94%	Neighbouring Sounds (2012)	" Filho's use of space is masterful, as fine as Antonioni or Polanski, with long Steadicam tracks and crisp wide shots giving us a fine-grained rendering of the block's communal and private spaces." — The Skinny Posted Mar 21, 2013
2/5	85%	Side Effects (2013)	" A ludicrous thriller disguised as a sociopolitical statement on the US pharmaceutical industry." — The Skinny Posted Mar 7, 2013
4/5	66%	Spring Breakers (2013)	" If Michael Mann was to take a lot of hallucinogenics and shoot a Girls Gone Wild video, it might look something like this." — The Skinny Posted Feb 27, 2013
1/5	——	Bella addormentata (Dormant Beauty) ()	" The pitiful stories that satellite this main strand drag the film down to the level of daytime soap opera." — The Skinny Posted Feb 27, 2013
1/5	——	Songs For Amy ()	" Never mind songs for Amy, what this film needs is a lament." — The Skinny Posted Feb 20, 2013
5/5	81%	Something in the Air (2013)	" Authentic autobiographical detail is what makes Something in the Air sing." — The Skinny Posted Feb 20, 2013
4/5	——	La cinquième saison ()	" File with The Turin Horse and Melancholia as one of the great end of the world movies of the 2010s." — The Skinny Posted Feb 20, 2013
4/5	66%	The We and the I (2013)	" The film's claustrophobic one-location setting is continually opening out thanks to comic digressions and gonzo flashbacks, which are vividly brought to life in Gondry's trademark sticky-back-plastic style." — The Skinny Posted Feb 14, 2013
3/5	86%	Wreck-it Ralph (2012)	" It's a CGI time-machine for those who misspent their youth developing RSIs on bleeping 8-bit arcade consoles." — The Skinny Posted Feb 7, 2013
1/5	63%	I Give It a Year (2013)	" Like a Frankenstein's Monster of the worst characteristics of the movies of Richard Curtis (smugness) and Judd Apatow (misogyny), Mazer's film delivers every romantic comedy cliché imaginable." — The Skinny Posted Feb 7, 2013
4/5	92%	What Richard Did (2013)	" With brilliant economy Abrahamson implies that in the case of his nation, as with his film's protagonist, all that glitters is not gold." — The Skinny Posted Jan 17, 2013
5/5	92%	Silver Linings Playbook (2012)	" It should be unwatchable. But in the sure hands of America's most effervescent humanist director, David O. Russell, it's unmissable." — The Skinny Posted Nov 22, 2012
5/5	86%	The Master (2012)	" Any similarities to L. Ron Hubbard are entirely intentional, but this isn't an incendiary attack on Scientology, more a spiritual Pygmalion with Phoenix a heretical Eliza Doolittle." — The Skinny Posted Nov 8, 2012
	54%	The Company You Keep (2013)	" Any warm feeling toward the counterculture is tainted by an air of smugness, like tear gas wafting through a peace rally." — House Next Door Posted Sep 6, 2012
	42%	To The Wonder (2013)	" To the Wonder is more intimate and less mythical than the director's previous work, but it's also trickier to engage with emotionally. " — House Next Door Posted Sep 4, 2012
	86%	The Master (2012)	" Scientology is a red herring: This is a father-son love story, and it's caustic, complex, and utterly compelling." — House Next Door Posted Sep 4, 2012
4/5	75%	Damsels in Distress (2012)	" Stillman's screenplay zings - you'll find more zippy lines in Damsels than on Charlie Sheen's coffee table." — The Skinny Posted Apr 11, 2012
4/5	99%	Bill Cunningham New York (2011)	" Press asks Cunningham only two questions: one about love, the other God. Both cut deep. The price of this lifelong quest to document beauty is a heavy one." — The Skinny Posted Feb 23, 2012
4/5	79%	Michael (2012)	" This chilly, matter-of-fact portrait of a pedophile is as hard hitting as any tabloid hysteria. No solutions or explanations are offered, but sometimes nightmares are beyond comprehension." — The Skinny Posted Feb 23, 2012
2/5	78%	The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)	" As schematic as any summer event movie, with character arcs that could be plotted on a graph from the minute our ensemble arrives at the eponymous, dubiously named lodgings." — The Skinny Posted Feb 23, 2012
3/5	83%	Your Sister's Sister (2012)	" Shelton is a wonder with actors and she mines some gold from this sitcom setup - DeWitt, in particular, showcases a spiky comic deftness." — The Skinny Posted Feb 23, 2012
4/5	80%	Haywire (2012)	" Haywire is the kind of lucid thriller Paul Greengrass might make if he ever invested in a tripod." — The Skinny Posted Jan 18, 2012
2/5	67%	Dreams of a Life (2012)	" Makes for queazy viewing." — The Skinny Posted Dec 15, 2011
5/5	95%	Weekend (2011)	" Weekend is the year's wittiest hymn to romance." — The Skinny Posted Oct 26, 2011
4/5	90%	Attack the Block (2011)	" It's a blistering debut." — The Skinny Posted May 9, 2011
2/5	55%	Killing Bono (2011)	" This isn't homicide, it's hagiography." — The Skinny Posted Mar 31, 2011
5/5	90%	The Fighter (2010)	" Dare I say it? It's knockout." — The Skinny Posted Feb 2, 2011
4/5	76%	Amer (2010)	" Near wordless, the film is a banquet of baroque imagery and kaleidoscopic colour." — The Skinny Posted Dec 29, 2010
2/5	52%	The Next Three Days (2010)	" A laborious thriller that lacks wit, intelligence, and, most unforgivably, thrills, The Next Three Days continues the steady decline of Crowe's career." — The Skinny Posted Dec 29, 2010
4/5	90%	Easier with Practice (2009)	" What might sound like the set-up for a particularly bawdy Judd Apatow comedy is actually a deceptively sweet tale of twenty-first century alienation." — The Skinny Posted Nov 29, 2010
3/5	66%	The American (2010)	" In its best moments the film plays like a lucid nightmare, with Clooney trapped in a picturesque purgatory." — The Skinny Posted Nov 4, 2010
