T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
14%	Wholly Moses! (1980)	An opportunistic attempt to cash in on the diminutive Moore's post-10 stardom by shamelessly ripping off the premise of The Life of Brian. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 30, 2018
80%	My Little Loves (Mes Petites Amoureuses) (1974)	The tone is somewhat reminiscent of Malle in its attempt at an unsentimental depiction of the sexual awakening of a 13-year-old boy; but ultimately it's more tough-minded. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 8, 2016
No Score Yet	Ankur (1974)	Benegal's first narrative feature mostly recalls the modest realism of Satyajit Ray. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted May 26, 2015
91%	Memories of Underdevelopment (Memorias del subdesarrollo) (1973)	Alea proceeds with dazzling and highly accomplished technique towards a perceptive and witty analysis. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
98%	To Be or Not to Be (1942)	It's certainly one of the finest comedies ever to come out of Paramount. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
92%	The Lion in Winter (1968)	Harvey's direction is intelligent enough, though the reduction of power struggles to fits of personal pique -- where the fate of nations hangs in the balance -- becomes a little irritating. Enjoyable for its two lead performances, however. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
95%	Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)	Whether you swallow it or not, see it for a handful of totally unexpected visual jokes, worth the price of admission alone. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 24, 2006
93%	Shoot the Piano Player (Tirez sur le pianiste) (1962)	The story is by turns comic and pathetic, often flashing midstream from one mood to the other, and Aznavour's performance as the wounded hero is a masterstroke of casting. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2006
90%	The Year of Living Dangerously (1983)	A curiously languid affair, rather than the breathless Costa-Gavras-style thriller which was the least one might have expected from this kind of material. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2006
100%	Ugetsu (Ugetsu monogatari) (1954)	A ravishingly composed, evocatively beautiful film. - Time Out EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 9, 2006
