A Prophet (2009) |
"for all its gripping excitement as a thriller, and its grim realism as a sociopolitical exposé of life inside, A Prophet is also concerned with the mysterious processes of education, assimilation and transfiguration." |

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

Tomato |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Add to this some winningly low-key performances, a slacker sensibility that refuses to subscribe to the American Dream, and some genuine laughs, and you have a film that feels both wise and real." |
Anton Bitel |
Splat |
The Adventures of White Tuft (2009) |
"Blends spectacular wildlife footage with a sentimentalising, storybook narration that is rife with pathetic fallacy." |
Anton Bitel |
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." |

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." |

Antichrist (2009) |
"Cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle talks about the challenge of Antichrist and Lars von Trier's "dark" days." |
Amber Wilkinson |
Tomato |
Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) |
"it is impossible not to be charmed by [Anvil lead singer Steve Kudlow's] arrested development and to find yourself rooting for his eventual success even as you laugh at his many failures." |

Avatar (2009) |
"Breathing Life Into Avatar" |

Avatar (2009) |
"There is much in Avatar that is broadly drawn, clichéd even - but it is also these very things which might just earn it the status of a classic." |

Away We Go (2009) |
"Once they hit the road, the script goes away with the pixies." |
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 |
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 |
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 |
Tomato |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"All haunted house movies feature labyrinthine corridors and darkened rooms, but few achieve the tangible depth and texture of The Abandoned. After so many inferior generic excursions and aberrations, Cerdà's film feels like a homecoming." |

The Aerial (2007) |
"Reflexive, allegorical and poetic, La Antena (The Aerial) is a dizzyingly dense piece of cinema, thriving on paradox, and always matching its medium to its message." |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"When a documentary is as entertaining as Air Guitar Nation, you have to ask if you really need it to have redeeming social value or to advance the art form in any way." |

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 |

Appleseed: Ex Machina (2007) |
"Amidst all this sequel's state-of-the-art 3D visuals and technological obsessions is a quest for the human beyond (or at least within) the machine." |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"At heart, it is a stoner comedy for college kids, but it strikes just the right balance between intelligence and infantilism to please almost any viewer who has ever enjoyed adolescence" |

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." |

"it becomes haunted by the unwelcome presence of heavy-handedness, making it seem more like a busy domestic melodrama (with a ghost) than a truly unnerving chiller." |
