Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
51% A Single Shot (2013) " A Single Shot aims to serve up gritty backwoods noir but misses its target by some distance." — Variety
Posted Sep 16, 2013
86% Young & Beautiful (Jeune Et Jolie) () " A nuanced, emotionally temperate study of a precocious youth." — Variety
Posted Sep 14, 2013
94% Only Lovers Left Alive () " A smidge more commercial than Jarmusch's meandering previous effort, "The Limits of Control." But it still feels like an in-joke intended only for select acolytes, who will probably love it with an undying passion." — Variety
Posted Sep 13, 2013
100% At Berkeley () " This unblinking study of academia offers a summation of sorts of Frederick Wiseman's exceptional career." — Variety
Posted Sep 13, 2013
89% Locke () " An exceptional one-man show for Tom Hardy, this ingeniously executed study in cinematic minimalism has depth, beauty and poise." — Variety
Posted Sep 8, 2013
78% Moebius () " Kim Ki-duk's latest is a gloriously off-the-charts study in perversity." — Variety
Posted Sep 8, 2013
58% The Zero Theorem () " Ends up dissolving into a muddle of unfunny jokes and half-baked ideas, all served up with that painful, herky-jerky Gilliam rhythm." — Variety
Posted Sep 3, 2013
75% Paradise: Faith (2013) " Ulrich Seidl is back on home turf in Austria with Paradise: Faith, but no less willing to challenge auds with startling imagery, ambiguous morality and ruthless black humor." — Variety
Posted Aug 19, 2013
62% About Time (2013) " Gleeson and McAdams have a radiant, believable chemistry that keeps the film aloft, while the other actors glide through effortlessly ..." — Variety
Posted Aug 8, 2013
4/5 94% March of the Penguins (2005) " The avian protagonists' comical ungainliness on land and deadpan manner make for adorable viewing, while the austere, glacial landscape is consistently breathtaking." — Radio Times
Posted Aug 5, 2013
84% Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa () " A scissor-sharp comedy of ineptitude and failure." — Variety
Posted Jul 24, 2013
60% Arcadia (2013) " The ever-reliable Hawkes does what he can with the material, but his part is too thinly written to convince." — Variety
Posted Jul 18, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " The latest highly enjoyable exercise in jaunty pastiche from writer-director Edgar Wright and writer-thesp Simon Pegg, the brains behind "Shaun of the Dead," and "Hot Fuzz."" — Variety
Posted Jul 8, 2013
89% In the Fog (2013) " Sergei Loznitsa's sophomore feature is a more conventional work than his audacious debut, My Joy, but no less accomplished in its craft, especially thanks to sterling work by ace Romanian lenser Oleg Mutu." — Variety
Posted Jun 10, 2013
100% Ernest & Célestine (Ernest et Célestine) () " Ernest and Celestine is a charming animated feature inspired by Belgium writer-illustrator Gabrielle Vincent's wholesome children's books of the same name" — Variety
Posted Jun 7, 2013
38% The Purge (2013) " That old horror-movie standard, a homestead besieged by psychos, gets remixed with a bit of Occupy-era class-conflict satire in the disappointing future-set thriller The Purge." — Variety
Posted Jun 7, 2013
— —— Lullaby To My Father () — Variety
Posted May 23, 2013
42% As I Lay Dying (2013) " Franco offers up a competently acted, technically adequate Cliff Notes take on Faulkner's narratively refracted tale of dirt-poor Mississippi folk in mourning." — Variety
Posted May 20, 2013
75% Pieta (2013) " This tidy, ultimately moving thriller about a loan shark who meets a woman claiming to be his mother offers up the director's vintage blend of cruelty, wit and moral complexity." — Variety
Posted May 15, 2013
63% Kiss Of The Damned (2013) " Kiss reimagines its bloodsuckers as horny, supercilious Eurotrash with addiction issues, sucking the life blood from naive American thrill-seekers." — Variety
Posted Apr 29, 2013
0% Lotus Eaters (2013) " Lotus Eaters wants desperately to be a portrait of the beautiful and the damned, with its tale of West London rich kids doing drugs and shagging each other, but it's more like a spectacle of the spoiled and annoying." — Variety
Posted Apr 5, 2013
69% The Croods (2013) " Although state-of-the-art in its rendering of textures, movement and stereography, DreamWorks' latest 3D toon, The Croods, adopts a relatively primitive approach to storytelling." — Variety
Posted Mar 21, 2013
55% I Give It a Year (2013) " Even if the emotional mathematics don't quite add up, enough diversion is provided by pic's broader comic setpieces to paper over the cracks." — Variety
Posted Jan 29, 2013
— 64% Miss Minoes (2011) — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
74% Love Is All You Need (2013) " Corny as a vat of polenta, but still rib-sticking enough to satisfy those who like lightly seasoned, easily digestible cinematic starch." — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
— 67% Helen (2008) — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
— —— Saudâji (Saudade) () — Variety

Posted Jan 22, 2013
— —— La demora () — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
— 78% The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012) — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
93% What Richard Did (2013) " A low-key but compelling morality tale." — Variety
Posted Jan 22, 2013
96% War Witch (2013) " Along with the moral lesson, Nguyen remembers to give auds some pleasures, including the exquisitely chosen soundtrack of African folk and pop music, Nicolas Bolduc's cinematography and the very artful use of sound throughout." — Variety
Posted Jan 10, 2013
56% Walk Away Renee (2012) " Renee really does feel something like a remake of Tarnation, this time with more budget and less feeling." — Variety
Posted Nov 29, 2012
88% Crossfire Hurricane () " This tribute to the Rolling Stones offers a blizzard of archive material nimbly sutured together with interviews with the Stones themselves, making this a succinct, officially sanctioned but not necessarily fawning history of the band." — Variety
Posted Nov 16, 2012
64% Anna Karenina (2012) " Eschewing the classical realism that's characterized most adaptations of Tolstoy's source novel, helmer Joe Wright makes the generally inspired decision to stylize his dark, expressionist take on Anna Karenina." — Variety
Posted Nov 12, 2012
19% Gambit () " Middling in every respect." — Variety
Posted Nov 8, 2012
55% The Company You Keep (2013) " The pic's colorful, almost-wastefully impressive cast limns a sociologically convincing rogue's gallery of reformed revolutionaries." — Variety
Posted Sep 6, 2012
78% The Ambassador (2012) " Brugger ensures it's a fairly entertaining excursion, especially when he starts to enjoy getting into character as the nefarious white man in Africa." — Variety
Posted Aug 27, 2012
53% Cleanskin (2012) " The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been. " — Variety
Posted Aug 23, 2012
94% Side by Side (2012) " Although laid out with such clarity that any layperson could catch the gist of what's being discussed, Side by Side is not afraid to get nitty-gritty about more technical matters." — Variety
Posted Jul 20, 2012
93% No (2013) " Tense throughout, even for history-savvy auds, but still rich in the sort of Andean-soil-black humor that made Larrain's previous work so distinctive." — Variety
Posted May 25, 2012
76% Augustine (2013) " Anchored by two intense, intertwined perfs by veteran Vincent Lindon and relative newcomer Soko, this period drama offers a coolly febrile study of madness, Victorian sexual politics and power." — Variety
Posted May 24, 2012
89% The Angels' Share (2013) " An amiable comedy about young Glaswegian roughnecks discovering the world of whisky, "The Angels' Share" finds helmer Ken Loach and long-term screenwriting partner Paul Laverty in better, breezier form than their rebarbative prior effort," — Variety
Posted May 23, 2012
— 82% Fast Girls (2013) — Variety
Posted May 23, 2012
87% Trashed (2012) " Earnest but rather televisual." — Variety
Posted May 23, 2012
70% Student (2013) " There's much to admire in the film's elegantly classical tempo and the way Omirbayev achieves so much with so little." — Variety
Posted May 19, 2012
71% Paradise: Love (2013) " Repulsive and sublimely beautiful, arguably celebratory and damning of its characters, it's hideous and masterful all at once." — Variety
Posted May 18, 2012
13% Piranha 3DD (2012) " Ups the self-parody so much that it's practically a Wayans Brothers spoof, albeit with fewer jokes." — Variety
