|---|---|---|---|
| 3/5 | 89% | Journal de France (2012) |
... a greatest-hits slideshow of a career that clicks us from war-torn Paris to the Yemen, Haiti and Prague. Frequently fascinating, if a tad unfocused.‐ Metro (UK)

| 3/5 | 74% | Populaire (2013) |
It takes a while to get going and the constant clack, clack, clacking can start to grate but Populaire is a warm and stylish film with plenty of polished charm. ‐ Metro (UK)

| 4/5 | 98% | Before Midnight (2013) |
Beautifully bittersweet, gloriously funny and achingly real; the older Jesse and Céline get, the more likeable they become.‐ Metro (UK)

| 4/5 | 80% | The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) |
Juddering shots with muted colours are set against Mike Patton's haunting score, which makes for a dreamy, visually striking film. ‐ Metro (UK)

| 4/5 | 70% | Stoker (2013) |
Stoker is a brilliantly inventive Gothic fairy tale gone wrong, with devilish shades of Hitchcock.‐ Metro (UK)

| 3/5 | 89% | Fire In The Blood (2013) |
And while the narration is a touch on the dry side, Fire in the Blood will certainly fuel anger in your veins. ‐ Metro (UK)

| 11% | Grace Of Monaco (2014) |
You never buy you're watching anyone other than Nicole Kidman. She's less tragic princess and more Stepford wife.‐ Metro (UK)

| 2/5 | 22% | That Awkward Moment (2014) |
Efron fans will be happy to know that he gets his kit off. For the rest of us, this is one awkward moment best forgotten straightaway.‐ Metro (UK)

| 3/5 | 91% | Ponyo (2009) |
Forget 3D or CGI: if you really want to be dazzled at the cinema, pay a visit to Hayao Miyazaki's hand-drawn fantasy world.‐ Metro (UK)

| 2/5 | 75% | Tony (2009) |
This serial killer flick is about as illuminating and, at times, as unintentionally hilarious as an episode of EastEnders with the succession of working-class stereotypes it throws up.‐ Metro (UK)

|
| 4/5 | 97% | A Prophet (Un prophete) (2010) |
Steeped in a chilling sense of social realism and the grim cynicism of everyday life, this epic tour de force is a quietly enthralling study of one man's rise to power.‐ Metro (UK)

| 3/5 | 57% | It's Complicated (2009) |
It's [Streep's] chemistry with Baldwin that lifts this predictable and repetitive, if solidly entertaining, chick flick to another level.‐ Metro (UK)

| 4/5 | 48% | Taking Woodstock (2009) |
There are flashes of wildly entertaining humour but for the most part the film keeps its chuckles on the gentler side of funny.‐ Metro (UK)

|
| 4/5 | 51% | The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |
A quirky cross between Star Wars, X Files and Apocalypse Now, brimming with imagination and a wickedly black sense of humour.‐ Metro (UK)

| 2/5 | 37% | Gigantic (2009) |
Fluctuating wildly between wry ironic chuckles and a sombre indie romantic drama, this never quite hits the right balance tonally.‐ Metro (UK)

| 3/5 | 82% | Two Lovers (2008) |
Although at times Phoenix's impression of an overgrown Kevin the Teenager threatens to derail the film's subtlety, it still makes for a satisfying swansong if this really is to be his final film.‐ Metro (UK)
