Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) 74% 3/5 EDIT “It's all very sweet and there's no mistaking how the film's going to end. But it's also smart, funny and further proof of Michael Cera's comic talent.” – Little White Lies Jan 30, 2009 Full Review Lorna's Silence (2008) 85% 3/5 EDIT “Possibly the beginning of a new direction for the brothers, The Silence Of Lorna gathers force slowly and deliberately, yet lacks the intimacy of the directors' earlier films.” – Film4 Nov 28, 2008 Full Review Never Apologize (2007) 67% 3/5 EDIT “For anyone interested in the life and work of Lindsay Anderson, however, and indeed the British New Wave more generally, Never Apologize is an illuminating piece of film.” – Film4 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review The Wackness (2008) 70% 3/5 EDIT “An amiable but essentially empty film made enjoyable by a decent soundtrack, funny dialogue and Ben Kingsley's mad doctor.” – Film4 Aug 29, 2008 Full Review Mongol (2007) 86% 3/5 EDIT “A beautiful and ambitious film flawed by its dogged determination to cast Genghis Khan in a new light, the best that can be hoped is that Mongol provides a stage for better things in the forthcoming films.” – Film4 Jun 6, 2008 Full Review Private Property (2006) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Ingeniously uncomfortable but occasionally too opaque, Private Property is a darkly inventive family drama.” – Film4 Apr 18, 2008 Full Review Out of the Blue (2006) 84% 3/5 EDIT “A strong drama clearly dedicated to exploring its real life events, if not hugely memorable in its own right.” – Film4 Mar 14, 2008 Full Review Black Water (2007) 80% 2/5 EDIT “Well acted and all the more engaging for having been based on a true story, ultimately Black Water lacks teeth.” – Film4 Feb 22, 2008 Full Review The Killing of John Lennon (2006) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Tense until the murder, but Piddington assumes we all care as much about Chapman as he does.” – Little White Lies Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Anna M. (2007) 67% 3/5 EDIT “With a strong performance from Isabelle Carr, Anna M. is an entertaining film, but it is also confused and slight, and like its anti-heroine, is in need of a firmer grip on reality.” – Film4 Nov 15, 2007 Full Review Oil Crash (2006) 73% EDIT “Simple message is powerful and compelling.” – Little White Lies Nov 7, 2007 Full Review Air Guitar Nation (2006) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A genuinely funny and absorbing documentary.” – Little White Lies Nov 7, 2007 Full Review Once (2007) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A rare innocence and a fresh approach to filmmaking make this a thoroughly charming and unconventional love story.” – Film4 Oct 19, 2007 Full Review The Singer (2006) 94% 3/5 EDIT “An interesting and unusual love story.” – Little White Lies Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Yella (2007) 82% 4/5 EDIT “A rich, inventive and atmospheric thriller that is somehow able to reveal the final twist while retaining its mysterious allure.” – Film4 Sep 21, 2007 Full Review The Snake (2008) 82% 3/5 EDIT “A penchant for silliness and a tabloid-ready storyline mean The Serpent is a decent thriller that loses some of its impact as it unfolds, but remains a well-paced and enjoyable film.” – Film4 Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Someone Else (2006) 50% 2/5 EDIT “A muzak rendition of Take That's 'Back For Good' plays over the montage that ends the film. It seems a fittingly empty conclusion to a story that never really engages with its audience.” – Film4 Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) 77% EDIT “Goes beyond front-line journalism to show the men behind the guns.” – Little White Lies Jul 20, 2007 Full Review Golden Door (2006) 73% 4/5 EDIT “A wonderfully poetic film offering a fresh perspective on America's early immigrants, Golden Door is as affecting as it is innovative” – Film4 Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Taking Liberties (2007) 83% 3/5 EDIT “We are the checks and balances on government, and while a slightly more restrained, finessed film may have carried that message more effectively, Taking Liberties will inspire many viewers to reconsider their responsibilities and those of their government” – Film4 Jun 8, 2007 Full Review
