Into the Abyss (2011) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Moving and thought-provoking in equal measure. A Herzog doc of the highest order.” – Little White Lies Mar 29, 2012 Full Review War Horse (2011) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Heavy-handed melodrama with flashes of brilliance.” – Little White Lies Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Demons Never Die (2011) 13% 1/5 EDIT “Neither homage or reinvention, A walking, talking clich with little to say about truth or fiction.” – Little White Lies Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Big River Man (2009) 91% 4/5 EDIT “For all the straight-faced self-mockery, it somehow remains a tribute to an exceptional man. Big River Man gets away with its archness only because it's evident that somewhere beneath its layers of irony, there is a beating heart.” – Little White Lies Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Mad Sad & Bad (2009) 29% EDIT “Mad, Sad & Bad is unengaging, even dull. Most frustratingly, its bitterness at the flip side of success for a new generation of British Asians is left unchanneled.” – Little White Lies Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Year One (2009) 14% 1/5 EDIT “This gambit is a catastrophic failure. Cera's loveable puppy-dog schtick is already tired, and Black can no longer carry a dud with likeability and energy alone. As for Ramis, well, perhaps he's not the Messiah after all.” – Little White Lies Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Last Chance Harvey (2008) 71% 2/5 EDIT “But while the film tilts progressively further towards the chick-flick (most notably with a cliché-of-clichés trying-on-dresses-to-music scene), some witty moments make this a high-living title in a low-rent market.” – Little White Lies Jun 5, 2009 Full Review Mark of an Angel (2008) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Mark of an Angel is formulaic in form and function, but it's a nuanced and intriguing addition to the metier.” – Little White Lies May 22, 2009 Full Review The Class (2008) 95% 4/5 EDIT “This is a fleeting glimpse into a rarely examined world. Despite its honest portrayal of teachers as overworked, underpaid and underappreciated, you even leave the cinema wanting to teach.” – Little White Lies Feb 27, 2009 Full Review Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 93% 3/5 EDIT “A light-hearted look at a free spirit, with some funny and thought-provoking moments.” – Little White Lies Apr 18, 2008 Full Review Out of the Blue (2006) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Compelling but flawed.” – Little White Lies Mar 12, 2008 Full Review Shrooms (2006) 18% 3/5 EDIT “Scary, trippy and disturbing, although let down by that ending.” – Little White Lies Nov 21, 2007 Full Review The Snake (2008) 82% 3/5 EDIT “An occasionally effective and stylish piece of filmmaking, capturing both the gloss and grime of the best thrillers, and delivering the odd shock as well.” – Little White Lies Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Firehouse Dog (2007) 36% EDIT “The all sub-plot story is a veritable self-help manual for tweenies-a sort of Se7en for ages seven-and-up-with greed, pride, sloth and envy bested by humility, team work and fair play.” – Little White Lies Jul 20, 2007 Full Review
