Beyond The Hills (2013)
|
"Spare, unadorned and strikingly shot, Cristian Mungiu's film is an unusual rendering of a Romanian exorcism case and is bound to split both audience and critical opinions... But it will certainly not pass unnoticed."

Like Someone in Love (2013)
|
"The more you delve, the more resonance you find; the problem is that Kiarostami fails to embed the film's visual, aural and symbolic games in a narrative that satisfies on the level of story and character."

Killing Them Softly (2012)
|
"A deliciously stylish hard-boiled crime drama, Andrew Dominik's violent and bleakly funny film is a grimly nihilistic film that revels in its harsh and brutal urban landscape."

Men in Black III (2012)
|
"Stars Smith and Jones deliver a few scenes of enjoyably antagonistic banter but neither seems as fully committed to this kind of comedy as in the earlier films."

Reality (2013)

Laurence Anyways (2013)

Mystery ()

The Hunt (2013)
|
"Daring to force his narrative right up against the edge of credibility, Vinterberg uses the hot-button topic of child abuse to push and probe at a town's close-knit facade until the wounds bubble up angrily to the surface."

Antiviral (2013)
|
"Brandon Cronenberg's feature debut is a cybermedical sci-fi vampire thriller that battles constantly, and with only limited success, against its own ludicrous script."

In Another Country (2013)

Lawless (2012)
|
"John Hillcoat's latest movie is a well-paced and entertaining story. But if the film will boost Hillcoat's stock as a commercial director, it is lacking in both the poetry that infused The Proposition and The Road."

Amour (2012)

The We and the I (2013)

"While initially a little heavy-handed as it sets up its character-heavy format its strength comes as its young, inexperienced, cast make their impact on the film, with the closing scenes powerful and subtly moving."

Mekong Hotel ()
|
"Its running time may make it more digestible than some of Weerasethakul's more ambitious pieces, although it straddles the line between full-feature and his short films and experimental work quite beautifully."

After The Battle (Baad El Mawkeaa) ()

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
