4/5	87%	La Danse -- Le Ballet de l'Opera de Paris (2009)	" Don't be put off by the film's 153-minute running time - La Danse is utterly engrossing and a must-see for ballet and documentary enthusiasts alike." — Little White Lies Posted Apr 23, 2010

4/5	91%	The Hired Hand (1971)	" A work dear to Fonda's heart, he has often spoken of his wish for this film to be his epitaph. It's one that would do any director proud." — BBC Posted Dec 17, 2001
4/5	90%	Djomeh (2001)	" A melancholic mediation on the constant and often elusive yearning for companionship and love, it also speaks volumes about the barbarity of cultural and religious intolerance." — BBC Posted Dec 17, 2001

4/5	84%	Little Otik (2001)	" A compelling and highly contemporary social satire." — BBC Posted Oct 24, 2001

3/5	43%	The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)	" Gratuitously violent, and none too subtle (it lacks the subversive qualities of the original) it's also undeniably funny, maniacally energetic fare with a liberal smattering of enjoyable set-pieces." — BBC Posted Sep 26, 2001
5/5	98%	Sweet Smell of Success (1957)	" One of the sharpest and corrosively perceptive films to emerge from Hollywood." — BBC Posted Sep 11, 2001
