    Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)

    " In one of those perfect cinematic storms, everything is wrong about this film, from screenplay to casting to performances and especially directing."

    Dorian Gray (2010)

    " It's a morality tale told through amorality and the pursuit of pleasures of the flesh"

    Departures (2009)

    " The film has enjoyed tremendous acclaim but I hesitate to recommend it unreservedly. Better to lower your expectations and discover those elements that touch you most deeply without waiting for the film to deliver something that it doesn't really promise"

    District 9 (2009)

    " Technically superb, District 9 is a feast of seamless digital work fused to live action, as it is also a smart fusion of documentary format with narrative fiction."

    Disgrace (2009)

    " The film is a rich, textured and emotionally engaging experience that challenges our ethical and moral views about South Africa"

    Deal (2008)

    " It's not the cards you play but the people . . . which is why poker movies (in this case Texas Hold'em) are far more interesting than many sports movies"

    Dragonball: Evolution (2009)

    Dean Spanley (2008)

    " Toa Fraser's sensitive direction of this deceptively challenging and surprisingly satisfying film, keeps the tone perfectly balanced in the manner of perhaps an eccentric English tale with dashes of humour and pathos"

    Doubt (2008)

    " So clever is the writing, the direction and the performances that we swing to and fro in our trust and belief in Father Flynn. We despise Sister Aloysius for her bitter crusade one minute, but then doubt Father Flynn's innocence the next"

    Dying Breed (2009)

    The Duchess (2008)

    Driftwood (2006)

    " Driftwood is presented and promoted as a horror movie with psychological elements, and while this is true, it undersells what is an effective psycho thriller, less about gore and horror, more about story and character."
