No Distance Left to Run (2010) 93% 3/5 EDIT “It's a genteel ride, best enjoyed by fans, but this film also doubles as the most satisfying account of fractured friendships reforged among 40-year-old Englishmen you'll see this year.” – The Times (UK) Jan 22, 2010 Full Review OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Not only is it funny, it looks and feels fantastic, thanks to its duplication of the breezily kitsch cinematography and direction of Sixties spy flicks, right down to the Technicolor wash.” – The Times (UK) Jan 15, 2010 Full Review All About Steve (2009) 7% 1/5 EDIT “One of the ropiest would-be screwball comedies conceived recently.” – The Times (UK) Jan 15, 2010 Full Review 44 Inch Chest (2009) 40% 3/5 EDIT “Without a crack cast, attempting to pull off a film with such a static, contemplative plot would have been impossible. They succeed, just about, but at times it feels like a dangerous game.” – The Times (UK) Jan 15, 2010 Full Review Mugabe and the White African (2009) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Your lasting emotions are of respect for the two farmers, mixed with a lingering, helpless sadness.” – The Times (UK) Jan 8, 2010 Full Review Treeless Mountain (2008) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A touching, gentle examination of the giddy rush and sickening sense of dislocation that comes with being left on your own when you're young.” – The Times (UK) Jan 8, 2010 Full Review Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010) 70% 2/5 EDIT “There are no allusions to the empowering nature of punk that catalyses the tale; and strangest of all, there's not enough made of the funny, funky music that made him filmworthy in the first place. The result, too often, rings like a missed beat.” – The Times (UK) Jan 8, 2010 Full Review
