    Away We Go (2009)

    " An unconvincing premise is turned into a must-see heartwarming romantic comedy."

    Planet 51 (2009)

    " Funny and well designed, but doesn't live up to potential due to uninspired dialogue and heavy hand of marketing."

    A Serious Man (2009)

    " A Serious Man is undeniably attractive, though it's certainly a story of a certain flavour and one that's not to all tastes; how compelling it remains is a question of enthusiasm for their determinedly oddball approach."

    Dorian Gray (2010)

    " Colin Firth is perfect as the devil’s advocate, as this adaptation of 19th century gothic taps into the modern zeitgeist."

    The Brothers Bloom (2009)

    " Full of invigorating twists and turns, filled with a unique style and wit, also, the whole ultimately suffers due to a too-neat conclusion."

    500 Days of Summer (2009)

    " A true re-invention of the romantic comedy genre for a male skewed audience, complete with realistic lead characters and hilarious insight."

    The Young Victoria (2009)

    " Strong performances, production qualities and courtly intrigue ensure that audiences will wish this romantic drama went for just that little bit longer."

    The Escapist (2009)

    " A combination of a superb score and amazing performances make this a genre defying prison break film."

    Is Anybody There? (2009)

    " This well crafted film is given resonance and purpose with layers and layers of detail that make the bittersweet climax all the more heartwarming."

    Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009)

    " The relentlessly puerile, juvenile humour of Lesbian Vampire Killers makes it something of a guilty pleasure, but a pleasure none the less."

    Tenderness (2008)

    " It's hard to understand what keeps these characters moving, and without true indie grit or the runaway tension that would otherwise satisfy the multiplex, Tenderness drops somewhere in-between...and that is mostly a disappointing nowhere."

    Acolytes (2008)

    " A requisite number of gory, slashing, scream-filled moments raise the heartbeat as kids chase killers, and the killers chase kids. What's missing is a freshness of purpose, and the conviction of motive. You know, the important stuff."

    Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

    " Johnson is effective, at least at first, but is ultimately let down by creaky production and a script that runs out of ideas long before the end, forcing most characters to yell "Watch out!" for the last twenty minutes."

    Wendy and Lucy (2008)

    " If you've ever lost a pet dog, or found yourself at the wrong end of an irreparably diminished bank account, Wendy And Lucy is the kind of film that will break your heart."

    Easy Virtue (2009)

    " Easy Virtue is not an entirely satisfactory outing; it's too chaotic for that, but it's certainly a great wheeze that blows ample life into period comedy."

    Milk (2008)

    The Wrestler (2008)

    Newcastle (2009)

    Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)

    " Unlike the unfilmable novel, Newell’s discordant picture exhibits the worst symptoms of fever itself: unpleasant to endure and then quickly forgotten."
