The Lunchbox (2013) 97% 4/5 EDIT “” – Eye for Film May 23, 2013 Full Review Only God Forgives (2013) 41% 2/5 EDIT “” – Eye for Film May 23, 2013 Full Review Polisse (2011) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Without significant star power it may require word of mouth and further festival exposure to help it grab attention stateside.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 15, 2012 Full Review Cherry Tree Lane (2010) 63% 3/5 EDIT “” – Boxoffice Magazine Jan 24, 2012 Full Review The Debt (2010) 77% 3/5 EDIT “A top-notch thriller about Mossad agents trying to capture a war criminal in order to bring him to justice boasts an excellent cast.” – Boxoffice Magazine Sep 1, 2011 Full Review The Tree (2010) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Bertucelli, who previously made Since Otar Left, extracts heart-felt performances from her cast, especially Gainsbourg.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 19, 2011 Full Review Mysteries of Lisbon (2010) 85% 2/5 EDIT “You have to admire Ruiz's audacity in attempting such an expansive production in these strained times, and his sheer love of storytelling comes shining through -- even if the film's duration has the ability to push your patience to its limit.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 8, 2011 Full Review Sleeping Beauty (2011) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Leigh certainly has a sense of cinematic style and Emily Browning possesses a fragile beauty that hides a remarkably resilient interior. It's a pity, however, that Jane Campion did not exert a more powerful sway on the result.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jul 6, 2011 Full Review Socialism (2010) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Some brave publicist came up with the tagline "Ideas separate us, dreams bring us together" to sum up the spirit of Jean-Luc Godard's new film, his first in six years. Twelve months on and I'm still trying to figure out what it all might mean.” – Boxoffice Magazine Jun 7, 2011 Full Review The Skin I Live In (2011) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Spanish icon Pedro Almodóvar lives up to his reputation for originality with this stunning take on the horror genre that references everyone from Alfred Hitchcock through Luis Buñuel and Dario Argento.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 24, 2011 Full Review Melancholia (2011) 79% 2/5 EDIT “Simply descends into chaotic banality...” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2011 Full Review Tuesday, After Christmas (2010) 74% 2/5 EDIT “The film's intense intimacy and acute observation work in its favor but quite enough to sustain us through the longeurs.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 20, 2011 Full Review The Kid With a Bike (2011) 96% 3/5 EDIT “[Features] an amazingly naturalistic performance from the young lead Thomas Doret.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 17, 2011 Full Review We Have a Pope (2012) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Piccoli in a role that relies on looks, gestures and very few words, does not hit an off note, making him into a silent, everyman figure.” – Boxoffice Magazine May 17, 2011 Full Review Winnie the Pooh (2011) 90% 3/5 EDIT “After 85 years consigned to the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh thankfully displays no signs of aging or getting any wiser. Disney has the right attitude in revisiting the franchise every so often to introduce the gang to a whole new generation.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 23, 2011 Full Review Meet Monica Velour (2010) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Cattrall embraces her 49-year-old character with open arms and gives a fine performance full of strength, vulnerability and also sexual chemistry.” – Boxoffice Magazine Apr 12, 2011 Full Review Winter in Wartime (2008) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The wartime subject matter may seem familiar at first, but Holland's Oscar contender exerts a powerful grip.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 22, 2011 Full Review Desert Flower (2009) 50% 3/5 EDIT “A gripping, if uneven, cinematic journey.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 22, 2011 Full Review The Princess of Montpensier (2010) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The power of the acting and the quality of the visual imagery carry us along.” – Boxoffice Magazine Mar 5, 2011 Full Review Kaboom (2010) 60% 3/5 EDIT “You have to admire [Araki's] sense of style and ambition even if the convoluted narrative begins to grate.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 31, 2010 Full Review Certified Copy (2010) 89% 3/5 EDIT “The romantic fable of love, marriage, art and second chances may not add up to all that much but the journey is exquisite.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 28, 2010 Full Review The Illusionist (2010) 90% 4/5 EDIT “As much as the film is a love poem to Tati's style of comedy, it is also a love poem to the city of Edinburgh. Chomet has turned Scotland into a dreamland, bathed in a radiant, beautiful light.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 22, 2010 Full Review The Company Men (2010) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Films have punctured The American Dream before, but rarely so devastatingly as The Company Men does.f” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 9, 2010 Full Review The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) 50% 4/5 EDIT “Michael Apted opts for a certain dated and mannered appeal with a whiff of nostalgia for more innocent times, which lends added enchantment.” – Boxoffice Magazine Dec 2, 2010 Full Review White Material (2009) 86% 3/5 EDIT “The role of Maria fits Huppert like a glove, and she's amazing in it - her physical slightness only serves to heighten the strength of Maria's will.” – Boxoffice Magazine Nov 19, 2010 Full Review
