" Fluffed satirical targets, a shortfall of required rom-com charm, cheap gags and a thoroughly unpleasant ‘hero’ situate How To Lose Friends several floors below the desired Apartment-esque heights."
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)38%
/
3/5
 
" A stonking lead performance from Kristin Scott Thomas ferries Philippe Claudel’s directorial debut over its forced twists."

I've Loved You So Long (2008)91%

1/5
 
" Frustratingly, there is potential in Watkins’ claustrophobic, back-to-nature setting, but, in trying to play ‘edgy’ with contemporary anxieties, his cooked-to-formula script merely sinks to the level of the gutter press exploiting those fears."

4/5
 
" Even sword-slashes “sigh like a breeze”. Martial arts fans might gag but Wong fans who were disappointed by My Blueberry Nights should see this. It’s the look of lush."

2/5
 
" His account of Anderson’s demise moves, but by then, this arch-raconteur’s bluster may have sand-papered your patience."

Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2008)64%
/
3/5
 
" But some are capable of articulacy and Bertoglio provides the odd ghostly image: primarily, middle-aged fashionista Wendy Whitelaw, who sprays her suburban lawn in regulation Factory chic. The happy ending is welcome, too."

Face Addict (2008)30%

3/5
 
" Away from home, Wong is on far-from-vintage form. But he still speaks the seductive language of longing with tactile tenderness, and draws out a natural performance from Jones. Worth a look, if not quite one to fall for."

My Blueberry Nights (2008)47%
/
4/5
 
" Granted, Philibert’s free-roaming approach is as languid as a weekend ramble. But his warm, tender, patient film finds much to move and chew on in the mulch and mire of rustic matters."

Back to Normandy (2008)88%
/
2/5
 
" As a comedy of male delusion, Night seems to shrink from its flimsy dramatic subtexts; as a probing of dream and reality in love, its pretensions to depth suggest a neutered comedic courage: Woody Allen-lite."
Posted Jan 18, 2008
 
The Good Night (2007)28%
/
4/5
 
" Lee’s saucy, sumptuous slow-burner is a complex, elegant seduction, drawing on Hitchcock but putting a singular stamp on a rich spread of spies and sex, repression and sacrifice. Just don’t try those moves at home…"
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Lust, Caution (2007)70%

3/5
 
" The old gender-tussle tune is played lightly and wittily, with a streak of mischief peppering any risk of schmaltz."
Posted Nov 2, 2007
 
Prête-moi Ta Main (2006)57%
/
2/5
 
" Everyone involved takes this tat seriously except William Hurt, who goes gung-ho as the alter-ego goading Brooks’ kill frenzies. If only they’d cut out the middle-Kev and cast Hurt instead…"
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
Mr. Brooks (2007)56%

3/5
 
" Thank heavens for Hoskins, Manville and Channing, whose weathered sparkle is enough to satisfy none-too-demanding rom-com requirements."

Sparkle (2007)78%
/
2/5
 
" The Falling Down-meets-After Hours pitch and plum cast (William H Macy, Rebecca Pidgeon, Bai Ling, Mena Suvari) look tempting, but it’s not a stretch to see why it’s sat on the shelf for two years."
Posted Jul 6, 2007
 
Edmond (2006)46%

" The proof of the pig is in the pounding: it sounds good."

" Too slight to really haunt, but its subtlety is as treasurable as an old friend."
