Sleeping Beauty (2010) |
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

Film Socialisme (2010) |
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

Winnie the Pooh (2011) |
