Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
4/5	82%	Tsotsi (Thug) (2006)	" Chweneyagae skulks with awesome menace, a cauldron of simmering rage and frustration and a performance of real skill, carrying the film effortlessly through to the nail-shredding conclusion." — BBC Posted Mar 11, 2006
4/5	86%	L'Enfant (The Child) (2006)	" With Belgian auteurs the Dardenne brothers behind the camera, there are deeper levels to explore in another stark but gripping construction of social realism." — BBC Posted Feb 22, 2006
4/5	75%	The Forest for the Trees (Der Wald vor lauter Baumen) (2005)	" For a first film, it's accomplished; for a college project, it's astonishing." — BBC Posted Feb 14, 2006
4/5	84%	13 Tzameti (2005)	" A thriller of starkly economic proportions." — BBC Posted Jan 14, 2006
5/5	93%	Grizzly Man (2005)	" German auteur Werner Herzog pieces together the remarkable footage Treadwell left behind into a superb portrait of a fractured obsessive living literally on the edge." — BBC Posted Dec 20, 2005
3/5	86%	Va, Vis et Deviens (Live and Become) (Go, See, and Become) (2005)	" Emotive and politically astute." — BBC Posted Dec 20, 2005
3/5	72%	Separate Lies (2005)	" A solidly made but strangely lightweight drama." — BBC Posted Nov 1, 2005
1/5	43%	The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2006)	" One for fans only." — BBC Posted Nov 1, 2005
3/5	81%	4 (Chetyre) (2006)	" Haunting." — BBC Posted Oct 22, 2005
2/5	38%	The Brothers Grimm (2005)	" Perfect material, you might think, for Terry Gilliam's brain of perpetual invention. But despite occasional flashes of dark genius, he hasn't laid a golden egg." — BBC Posted Oct 11, 2005
4/5	92%	Saraband (2003)	" Even if it is, as he claims, his last film, Saraband will be a testament to Bergman's skill as a filmmaker, still a creative force to be reckoned with after 60-plus years in the business." — BBC Posted Oct 8, 2005
3/5	60%	R-Point (2005)	" By the time the grand finale rolls around, you're more baffled than terrified." — BBC Posted Sep 18, 2005
3/5	92%	Solntse (The Sun) (2005)	" The measured direction can feel sluggish as the camera refuses to cut away from lengthy scenes of people getting dressed or filing out of rooms, but Ogata's multi-layered performance more than compensates." — BBC Posted Sep 10, 2005
3/5	80%	Beautiful Boxer (2005)	" An inspiring drama which, despite its uneven nature, still manages to pack a punch." — BBC Posted Aug 9, 2005
4/5	88%	Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire (2005)	" A tragic reminder of how that overused epithet, 'Never again', makes hypocrites of us all." — BBC Posted Aug 9, 2005
3/5	87%	3-Iron (2004)	" If the snail's pace doesn't send you to sleep, you'll be rewarded with a tender and unusual love story." — BBC Posted Jul 12, 2005
3/5	55%	Undertow (2004)	" A front-loaded film, sure, but what a front." — BBC Posted Jun 21, 2005
4/5	99%	Moolaadé (2004)	" Sembene provides not only a fascinating glimpse into the culture of tropical Africa, but also a powerful account of the social turmoil which bubbles beneath the surface." — BBC Posted May 31, 2005
3/5	71%	eXistenZ (1999)	" In the hands of anyone else, the notion of computer game terrorists would be ludicrous, and even Cronenberg fails to explain their motives, using the film instead to indulge in surreal exercises of dream logic." — BBC Posted Dec 3, 2001
2/5	26%	Superman III (1983)	" Slow and uninspired." — BBC Posted Sep 26, 2001
