Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
	——	Mood Indigo ()	" This over-eager approach will grow tiresome for many viewers but, in its defense, an overload of hand-made creativity feels a lot healthier than watching endless CGI or CGI + 3D assault one's retinas." — Screen International Posted Apr 23, 2013
3/4	79%	You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet! (2013)	" It's, like, totally, like, "meta." Metaphorical, metaphysical. It's also pretty amusing." — Chicago Sun-Times Posted Mar 17, 2013
—	——	Liberation (1994)	— Variety Posted Jan 22, 2013
5/5	87%	Frankenweenie (2012)	" A loving homage to everything from Frankenstein to Godzilla by way of cosy American suburbia circa the analogue era, Frankenweenie makes superb use of black-and-white and shades of grey, thoughtful lighting and an equally thoughtful musical score." — sbs.com.au Posted Oct 25, 2012
3/5	75%	The Intouchables (2012)	" Is The Intouchables an enjoyable movie if you overlook a few potentially queasy-making scenes? Absolutely. Is it great filmmaking in the neighbourhood of art? Nope. " — sbs.com.au Posted Oct 25, 2012
5/5	90%	Holy Motors (2012)	" After having seen thousands of films in my life, Holy Motors surprised me. I could not have guessed what might happen next at countless junctures and I consider that a very good sign." — sbs.com.au Posted Aug 23, 2012

—	71%	Le magasin des suicides (The Suicide Shop) ()	— Screen International Posted May 25, 2012
2.5/5	82%	Rust and Bone (2012)	" The theme of reconciliation - between man and woman, father and son, brother and sister, man and animal - feels kind of perfunctory and over-reaching." — sbs.com.au Posted May 22, 2012
3.5/5	94%	Moonrise Kingdom (2012)	" This jaunty romp, written by Anderson with Roman Coppola, is a delightful succession of sombre pronouncements and sight gags in the service of a tale with a bittersweet emotional core." — sbs.com.au Posted May 18, 2012
