Babel (2006) |
"an affecting examination of disconnected lives in an interconnected world." |
Anton Bitel |
Splat |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"While certainly amiable enough, Michael McCullers' directorial debut is, like the gestation that it portrays, somewhat sloppily conceived and capable of delivering no more than what is expected." |

BackWoods (2006) |
"rock-solid performances and an atmosphere of moody menace never fail to grip, even if the film traverses territories that are just a little overfamiliar." |

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"No film by Herzog has ever been so defiantly mainstream - and yet this remains one of the director's craziest, most outlandish affairs. Finding a way out the other side of that contradiction is half the fun for the incredulous viewer" |

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"Adapting his own autobiographical novel, director Dai Sijie's intimacy with his subject allows for a remarkably assured mise-en-scene." |

Bamako (2006) |
"Issue-driven drama has rarely been so polemic as it is in this fierce attack on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund's role in African poverty." |

The Banger Sisters (2002) |

"An emotionally strong and politically potent piece of cinema." |

The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"For a writer as acerbic as Arcand, The Barbarian Invasions is surprisingly sentimental." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Barber of Siberia (1998) |
"Visually the film is stunning, recapturing a sense of wonder, even madness, that incorporates the soul of Mother Russia." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |

Barefoot Gen (1983) |
"uses the stylised strokes of animation to show what would otherwise be beyond the bounds of cinematic representation" |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Barefoot Gen 2 (1986) |
"While Barefoot Gen 2 may play itself out as a sort of plucky boys' own adventure, this animated feature allows glimpses of far grimmer realities to be exposed." |

Basic (2003) |
"Once scratched, the surface looks decidedly unsafe. It seems that scriptwriter James Vanderbilt can play any dirty trick he likes and expect the captive audience to gasp in unison. Instead, it groans with disbelief." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
Basic Instinct (1992) |
"The audio commentaries are a great addition, with the feminist critique by Camille Paglia being particularly innovative." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Basic Instinct (1992) |
"The snappy dialogue and high-calibre acting, by the central characters and a strong supporting cast ... keeps the film from tipping over the brink into Showgirls territory." |

Basket Case (1982) |
"like Eraserhead updated for the slasher generation, Basket Case is a deranged psychodrama, full of gleefully gory set-pieces, quirky humour, and some impossibly moving pathos." |
