Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 82%	Broken Embraces (2009)	" The sense is of an ageing director taking stock: exploring his cinematic roots, imagining his future and working through it all to emerge counting his blessings at the end." — Time Out Posted May 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 74%	Princesas (2006)	" Compelling, frequently funny and, commendably, resists wrapping things up sentimentally. Nice Manu Chao soundtrack, too." — Time Out Posted Dec 28, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Caramel (2008)	" A lovely little comedy-drama." — Time Out Posted Oct 11, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 79%	Private Fears in Public Places (2007)	" Not one he'll be remembered for, but a cut above." — Little White Lies Posted Jul 20, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Deep Water (2007)	" Charting the thin line between courage and foolhardiness, it�s a poignant portrayal of the excruciating emotional odyssey of all involved." — Time Out Posted Jul 14, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 29%	Goya's Ghosts (2007)	" With its riffs on art, its split-in-half story and Goya-esque production design, you can see it reaching for grand ideas about actions and their reverberations, but it merely rumbles on, illuminating neither the artist nor his tumultuous times." — Time Out Posted May 3, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 74%	The Illusionist (2006)	" With exquisite performances (Giamatti�s, in particular), it leaves you thrillingly hovering, happily uncommitted to any one interpretation." — Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 71%	In The Pit (2007)	" You long for more context on both workers and project, though a breathtaking five-minute-plus helicopter shot along the snaking concrete-and-iron colossus at the close helps distract from any moans." — Time Out Posted Feb 3, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 86%	The Heart of the Game (2006)	" The intrusive narration, from hip hopper Chris �Ludacris� Bridges, offers little sense of real lives unfolding, more of a way being paved to an, admittedly tense, all-American triumph-over-adversity climax." — Time Out Posted Dec 30, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 86%	We Shall Overcome (2006)	" It's enjoyably rousing, and cinematographer Lars Vestergard works miracles turning the Danish countryside into bright slices of Americana." — Time Out Posted Nov 16, 2006
Fresh 3/6	Fresh 92%	Born and Bred (2006)	" An existential nightmare of grief, guilt and penance, with Guillermo Nieto�s sublime photography of the frozen, otherworldly landscape a correlative to Santiago�s suspended state." — Time Out Posted Oct 28, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 33%	Poseidon (2006)	" Petersen�s expert direction ensures it remains gripping, keeping the tension ratcheted right up and commendably steering it all home within 100 minutes." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Serenity (2005)	" The settings and tone are hyper-real, yet the human behaviour is grounded and credible, the moral conflicts complex and involving. Shiny, intelligent fun." — Time Out Posted Jun 24, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 45%	The Cell (2000)	" Lopez is hard to take as the empathetic psychologist who uses a synaptic transfer machine to penetrate the comatose killer's tortured psyche in hopes of finding his latest victim." — Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Los Olvidados (1950)	" It�s a masterpiece that tangles individual and social ills into a knot, which, as we�re warned in an opening voiceover, it offers no easy way to untie, rousing a sickening sense of injustice." — Time Out Posted Feb 9, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 70%	Frequency (2000)	" This ambitious but frustrating timeshift thriller never quite manages to jam together two distinct stories." — Time Out Posted Jan 26, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 28%	Nowhere to Run (1993)	" When Van Damme is doing what he does best -- narcissistically displaying his body and thumping the bad guys -- the film works reasonably well." — Time Out Posted Jan 26, 2006
