Fresh 3/5	Fresh 72%	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)	" 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 Posted Jan 30, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 86%	Lorna's Silence (2009)	" 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Nov 28, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 64%	Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2008)	" 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Sep 5, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 69%	The Wackness (2008)	" An amiable but essentially empty film made enjoyable by a decent soundtrack, funny dialogue and Ben Kingsley's mad doctor." — Channel 4 Film Posted Aug 29, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 87%	Mongol (2008)	" 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 6, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 70%	Private Property (2006)	" Ingeniously uncomfortable but occasionally too opaque, Private Property is a darkly inventive family drama." — Channel 4 Film Posted Apr 18, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 83%	Out of the Blue (2007)	" A strong drama clearly dedicated to exploring its real life events, if not hugely memorable in its own right." — Channel 4 Film Posted Mar 14, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 79%	Black Water (2007)	" Well acted and all the more engaging for having been based on a true story, ultimately Black Water lacks teeth." — Channel 4 Film Posted Feb 22, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 38%	The Killing of John Lennon (2008)	" Tense until the murder, but Piddington assumes we all care as much about Chapman as he does." — Little White Lies Posted Dec 7, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 62%	Anna M. (2007)	" With a strong performance from Isabelle Carré, 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Nov 15, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 79%	A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash (2006)	" Simple message is powerful and compelling." — Little White Lies Posted Nov 7, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 84%	Air Guitar Nation (2007)	" A genuinely funny and absorbing documentary." — Little White Lies Posted Nov 7, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 97%	Once (2007)	" A rare innocence and a fresh approach to filmmaking make this a thoroughly charming and unconventional love story." — Channel 4 Film Posted Oct 19, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 94%	The Singer (2006)	" An interesting and unusual love story." — Little White Lies Posted Sep 28, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 80%	Yella (2007)	" A rich, inventive and atmospheric thriller that is somehow able to reveal the final twist while retaining its mysterious allure." — Channel 4 Film Posted Sep 21, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 85%	The Serpent (2006)	" 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Sep 14, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 50%	Someone Else (2006)	" 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." — Channel 4 Film Posted Sep 7, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007)	" Goes beyond front-line journalism to show the men behind the guns." — Little White Lies Posted Jul 20, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 71%	Golden Door (2007)	" A wonderfully poetic film offering a fresh perspective on America's early immigrants, Golden Door is as affecting as it is innovative" — Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 29, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 83%	Taking Liberties (2007)	" 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" — Channel 4 Film Posted Jun 8, 2007
