A Prophet (2009) |
"A Prophet works both as hard-edged, painstaking detailed social realism and as a compelling genre entertainment." |

Adam (2009) |
"A romantic drama with sincere emotions but a rather standard execution." |
Tim Grierson |
Splat |
Adoration (2009) |
"The stories here are thin, unnecessarily complicated and glibly cryptic; some sections are difficult to follow, even annoying in their self-consciousness." |
Howard Feinstein |
Tomato |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Adventureland feels like a sweeter, more personal riff on Superbad." |
Tim Grierson |
Tomato |
Afghan Star (2009) |
"Not a radical act of film-making and visually, it is far from an inspired piece of work - but it's a great example of a film where the strong content rules supreme." |

Agora (2009) |
"Agora ultimately fails to hang together narratively and does not engage on the same grand emotional level as the sword and sandal epics of old." |

Tomato |
Air Doll (2009) |
"Although the bill may be too ambitious and Kore-eda’s approach too diffused, Air Doll does offer food for thought." |

Alice's House (2007) |
"[Director Chico] Texeira's ordinary characters have a quiet genuineness and clarity that is rare anywhere in movies these days." |

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"Colourful but uninspired." |

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) |
"Alvin, Simon and Theodore deal with the pressures of high school in this modest, family-friendly upgrade from the singing-and-dancing chipmunks’ muddled debut feature." |
Brent Simon |
Splat |
Amelia (2009) |
"Two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank can’t give any lift to Amelia, a soggy, un-engaging biopic." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato |
American Gangster (2007) |
"Long but never boring, it's an expertly crafted slice of mainstream entertainment telling two concurrent stories." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Ron Howard does a far superior job of filming Dan Brown’s first Robert Langdon novel Angels & Demons than he did with his lifeless blockbuster The Da Vinci Code." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
Antichrist (2009) |
"Some von Trier fans will welcome his return to the elaborate visual invention he abandoned with the founding of Dogme. But in the wider world, Antichrist will prove too loopy and coarse for art-house audiences." |
Jonathan Romney |
Tomato |
Appaloosa (2008) |
"A gentle, warmly human and quietly compelling western with a wry sense of humour and some engaging performances from a group of fine actors." |

Astro Boy (2009) |
"Almost 60 years after his comic-book inception, the iconic Japanese robot Astro Boy finally makes his cinematic debut in a feature that, unfortunately, feels as if it has been assembled from spare parts." |

August (2008) |
"This one has nothing extraordinary about it to compensate for seven years' staleness." |
David D'Arcy |
Tomato |
August Rush (2007) |
"Those who are prepared to forgive the film its stock characters and lack of emotional subtlety may allow themselves to be ravished -- by the sumptuous soundtrack, if nothing else." |
Lee Marshall |
Tomato |
Australia (2008) |
"Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman effortlessly don the mantles of Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable here; the screen is crammed with ravishing images." |
Frank Hatherley |
Tomato |
Avatar (2009) |
"An epic film born entirely of Cameron’s imagination, Avatar uses tailor-made technology to create the most astonishing visual effects yet seen on screen and blends them seamlessly into a mythical sci-fi story." |
