Adam (2009) |
"All about Adam - Hugh Dancy and Max Mayer talk about their film" |

Tomato 4/5 |
Afghan Star (2009) |
"Although not breaking new ground in terms of the way it is shot and edited, this is a compelling story and features some excellent archive footage." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 5/5 |
The African Queen (1951) |
"Despite being 50 years old, there is still something refreshing about watching The African Queen." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The African Queen (1951) |
"The audio commentary by Jack Cardiff which is the jewel in the extras' crown." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ahlaam (2005) |
"As gruelling as it is compelling." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Air I Breathe (2007) |
"As the plot strands begin to coalesce everything becomes far too overwrought." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Alexandra (2008) |
"I found it incredibly hard to care about either the grandmother or the young men and, since there is no plot to hold your interest, torpor ensues." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 2/5 |
Alice in Wonderland (1966) |
"This is Alice on Mogadon, a melancholy and, in places, excruciatingly slow take on the tale with virtually all the comedic moments pared away." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Alien Autopsy (2006) |
"This movie scores well on the quirky British movie scale." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 1/5 |
All Tomorrow's Parties (2003) |
"All Tomorrow's Parties has been described as sometimes "baffling". Frankly, that's being generous." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Allegro (2005) |
"The genre-bending antics may not be everyone's cup of tea but there's no doubting his [Christoffer Boe's] innovation." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Allegro (2005) |
"Part romance, part animation, part sci-fi thriller - Boe uses any and every tool he can get his hands on to tell this tale of emotional isolation and resolution." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Amreeka (2009) |
"Dabis is certainly to be praised for her lightness of touch, filling many of her scenes with a humour often lacking from films addressing issues of migration." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
An Education (2009) |
"Although we are talking age old themes here - first love, dodgy geezers, questions of class - the material is spectacularly well handled." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Angel's Fall (2005) |
"You might conceivably nip out to the concessions stand, visit the loo and still come back to the same scene." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Angela |
"This gritty realism is enhanced by the manner in which the film is shot, using not-so-steady camerawork." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Angels in the Dust (2007) |
"In essence, the story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, the resilience and commitment of a few to help the many and a triumph of hope in adversity." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"Despite the somewhat overused plot device, it manages to avoid most of the usual cliches." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Another Cinderella Story (2008) |
"Although this is the first-dimension, where charcters are so wafer thin they barely cast a shadow, Gomez and Seeley have plenty of sparkle." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 2/5 |
Antares (2004) |
"Antares is another nail in the coffin of brevity." |

Antichrist (2009) |
"Cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle talks about the challenge of Antichrist and Lars von Trier's "dark" days." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Around the Bay (2008) |
"The direction of Alejandro Adams is reassuringly muscular - it makes its presence felt but is always pushing the story forward rather than preening." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins (2008) |
"Not long into this documentary, you begin to think in double punctuation marks, namely ?!" |
Amber Wilkinson |
Splat 1/5 |
The Aryan Couple (2004) |
"The most mawkish and shallow take on the holocaust committed to screen in many a long year." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ashes of Time Redux (1994) |
"Each of these storylines wash over one another, refusing to take on a fully-fledged shape and yet they have a surprisingly cohesive cumulative effect." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"This film is far too long but the central relationship of James and Ford is fascinating." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Aura (2006) |
"Tense and twisty, this is what thrillers should be about." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Away From Her (2007) |
"Christie is brilliant as steely but brittle Fiona, a woman who knows her mind completely and yet, in the end, cannot hang on to it, while Pinsent eloquently portrays the gradual ebbing away of a partnership, as delicate and unstoppable as snow-melt." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Away We Go (2009) |
"Once they hit the road, the script goes away with the pixies." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato 4/5 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A.I. belongs to Spielberg ... and to Osment, who, at 12-years-old, is the most heart-rending child actor of his generation. It is almost a triumph." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Splat 2/5 |
The Abduction Club (2002) |
"As a costume romance, based on real events, it is inept. As an entertainment, stuffed with fanciable young nobs, acting like 18th century Hooray Henrys, it is an acquired taste." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"Intelligent, well-written and beautifully acted." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3/5 |
Abouna (2004) |
"Abouna is a small film, crafted with love and affection, that speaks with a quiet voice." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Although the movie is directed by the guys responsible for American Pie, what makes About A Boy so refreshing is the surprise factor -- surprisingly funny, surprisingly unsentimental, surprisingly enjoyable." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"It must be said that this is one of best DVDs around. For once, the extras mean what they say." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
About Adam (2001) |
"Sexy and non-judgmental, charming and slight." |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"It is worth queuing in the rain on a windy Wednesday afternoon to watch acting of this quality." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
The Acid House (1998) |
"Make no mistake, undiluted Welsh hurts in a bad way. And there's no fun in that." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Actors (2003) |
"A tour-de-force for Moran and an inspirational comic performance from Caine." |

Adaptation (2002) |
"This is a film of true originality, born of despair." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"[Elmo] is brave and true, conquering his fear in the best Sesame tradition, and being, in every way, a valued and lovable companion." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"Unless Felix's charm captivates you, the film is a bore." |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"The worse RBTV has to offer could not match the mind numbing stupidity of this caper." |

An Affair of Love (2000) |
"The writing is intelligent and full of insight, the acting of Natalie Baye and Sergi Lopez in total harmony." |

Splat 2/5 |
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"Swank poses beautifully before mirrors and against moody wall-carvings. This is hardly a performance." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3/5 |
Affliction (1997) |
"Schrader uses the monochrome landscape to great effect, slowly building a tension." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
After the Hole (2001) |
"[Hamm's] clever manipulation of a claustrophobic situation is matched by the commitment of his cast." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3/5 |
After the Life (2002) |
"Blanc's performance is startling for many reasons, but mainly because it excavates the soul of someone no longer alive to the world." |
