Gabrielle (2005) |
"For all its filmmaking bravura, the film never transcends the confines of its period drama setting. We look at the artistry and marvel, but we are never really touched." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
Games of Love and Chance (2005) |
"Has a lot of promise, but despite two raw, excellent performances L'esquive does not deliver." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Garpastum (2005) |
"A sepia-tinted exercise in 1910's Russian melancholy that could resonate with older, sophisticated arthouse audiences." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
Gegenüber (2007) |
"Interesting for its portrayal of a type of domestic violence rarely seen on screen, but offers little else beyond this new angle and two very brave performances." |
Boyd van Hoeij |

Genesis - Where Are We Coming From? (2005) |
"Touches only on the very basics of Creation, but offers very pretty pictures." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Gilles' Wife (2006) |
"A thoughtful motion-picture about the inner workings of a woman's mind that is daringly melodramatic and as sparse with words as its photography is lush and colourful." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"Snappy timing, focused writing and pitch-perfect acting." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Girl with a pearl earring (...) is a movie of few words and beautiful pictures, and the story is as understated as the acting." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato 3/5 |

Glue (2005) |
"Glue is in fact similar to most people's adolescence: not without the occasional hiccough -- but what an adventure it is!" |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
Go For Zucker (2004) |
"A mildly amusing My big fat Jewish funeral that does not overcome its TV sitcom origins." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Godforsaken (2002) |
"Top notch writing [...] and a fabulous performance by Mr Weeber make of this short work something that is not to be missed." |

Golden Door (2007) |
"Proof of the director's unwillingness to improve on the scattershot ideas and shaky character development that also plagued his previous effort Respiro." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Gomorra (2008) |
"The Neapolitan mafia, known as the Camorra, gets the Syriana treatment in Matteo Garrone's Gomorra (Gomorrah), one of the most incisive organised-crime films to emerge from any country since the 1970s." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Gone with the Woman (2007) |
"Tatt av kvinnen is much like a musical but only without the songs; the form has to be accepted no questions asked for the film to function. And any detected realism is surely unintended." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Good Bye, Lenin! (2004) |
"An enjoyable comedy about keeping a big thing secret from someone and an interesting drama about family ties and values and politics.
" |

Good Morning, Night (2003) |
"Buongiorno, notte fails even as a lyrical meditation on the kidnapping because the characters do not engage the audience at any point." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
A Good Woman (2005) |
"Opaque in its approach, the film is almost redeemed by its hilarious Wildean one-liners, even if delivered shakily." |
Boyd van Hoeij |

Grandhotel (2006) |
"Grandhotel's mixture of juvenile comedy and grounded characters with real dilemmas never becomes a satisfying whole but is surprisingly funny and endearing nevertheless." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
Gravehopping (2005) |
"The film is too slow; its very theme -- the fact that the inevitable end might just be around the corner -- does not materialise fast enough for the audience." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams (2007) |
"Aided by two first-class performances by Karanovic and Mijovic, Grbavica is a low-key approach to one of the gravest, yet little-discussed problems of war." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005) |
"Rookie director Thomas Clay gives us a cinematic punch-in-the-face that is both real and violently unsettling." |

The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005) |
"Interview: The Great Ecstasy of Thomas Clay" |

Grey Souls (2005) |
"Quietly but surely defies expectations at every turn and does not once hit a false note in the process. One of the best films of the year." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
The Grocer's Son (2008) |
"The lead actors are hot and the living is easy in the French summertime idyll Le fils de l'epicier (The Grocer's Son)." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Grounding (2006) |
"Most characters seem to live in need of constant proof of Murphy’s Law -- and seem to get it too -- but despite this Grounding is never less than compelling." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Tomato |
Guernsey (2006) |
"The performances from her actors are tops, but what steals the show is Leopold's mastery of her visual language, dominated by Richard van Oosterhout's sumptuous widescreen lensing." |
Boyd van Hoeij |
Splat |
Guys and Balls (2006) |
"The sexuality of the protagonists is just another plot twist in this mildly funny sports comedy that never seems to accept its characters as people rather than cliches." |
