Posted Mar 27, 2013
2/5 87% In the House (2013) " Ozon, for all the prettiness of his comic and visual grace notes, runs out of ideas." — Financial Times

3/5 89% Compliance (2012) " The film edges forward diffidently, never quite matching strength of craft to strength of idea. It's creepily beguiling even so ..." — Financial Times
Posted Mar 21, 2013
5/5 94% Neighbouring Sounds (2012) " Neighbouring Sounds is scary, funny, mischievous, intelligent, magisterial: a picture of man and woman as social animal in which the animal never lurks far beneath the social." — Financial Times

Posted Mar 14, 2013
4/5 38% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley's slyly effervescent script almost makes amends for their Horrible Bosses." — Financial Times
Posted Mar 14, 2013

Posted Feb 28, 2013

Posted Feb 28, 2013
4/5 87% Arbitrage (2012) " Gere is matchless in this kind of role. The lacquered crinkle of the smile; the corrugated silk hair; the eyes deep-pouched and glinting like coins in a rich man's wallet." — Financial Times

Posted Feb 7, 2013
3/5 47% A Liar's Autobiography - The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman (2012) " The film is an engaging trip: miscellaneous, wittily surreal, with a sadness to lend it a structuring heartbeat." — Financial Times
