Splat

Changeling (2008)

"The bigger the scene, as melodrama intensifies in this movie, the more its truth-based tale turns into grand guignol on the griddle."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Charles Dickens' England

"This combination of documentary of literary travelogue has no pretensions at all, merely a mad, endearing, Dickensian innocence."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Che, Part One (2008)

"Che is a heroic guerrilla project in its way. It’s just that these guerrillas get lost in a mist of opaque purpose and ill-defined movie mission."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Che, Part Two (2008)

"This film is stronger than the first. The pale, sepulchral tones give a ritualistic eeriness to the long pursuit scenes."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Cheri (2009)

"Dazzlingly designed, the film salvages recognisable humanity in Rupert Friend’s Chéri, aka the unromantic (to Anglo-Saxon ears) Fred. Elsewhere the movie is as insubstantial as a soufflé, and less intellectually challenging."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato
3/5

Cherry Blossoms (2009)

"If she doesn’t quite go the distance – resonance needs richer characterisation, origami finer scissors – Cherry Blossoms is still a touching, tangibly personal chamber movie."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Chevolution (2008)

"Revolution is always with us: this week’s guerrilla documentary, watchable and well-researched, is Chevolution."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Chiko (2008)

"The handsomely grungy photography, the moments of grislier-than-usual violence and the producing participation of film-maker Fatih Akin fail to rescue this moody thug epic from being a cross-Channel cousin to the UK’s mod gangster genre."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Chocolate (2009)

"A bizarre, often tasteless, but never dull Thai martial arts movie."

Karl French

Splat

Choke (2008)

"The whole movie is dying, actually. But it puts on a brave face and gratefully receives visitors."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Choking Man (2007)

"Modest, quirky, well acted by an unknown cast."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

A Christmas Tale (2008)

"A Christmas Tale is a compelling domestic drama, a French art gem to inaugurate 2009."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Chromophobia (2005)

"One is unsure what the menu is meant to be in this satire/drama/melodrama."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)

"Cirque du Freak is a lame comedy."

Leo Robson

Splat

City of Ember (2008)

"Director Gil Kenan, who made the brilliant animation feature Monster House, does his best. With a better script and bigger budget he will be back with something better."

Splat
1/5

City Rats (2009)

"An inane urban drama with a strong cast – Susan Lynch and James Lance among them – and big themes – death, art, love, sex – but no discernible point."

Karl French

Tomato

The Class (2008)

"How could anyone not love Laurent Cantet’s The Class (Entre les murs)? Last year’s Golden Palm winner is the best film about schoolteaching I have seen: a wise, funny cry of helplessness before the tsunami of anarchy that can be school-age adolescence."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)

"The film continues in meal-monsoon mode for 90 minutes with scant variation."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Coco Before Chanel (2009)

"Audrey Tautou is nice in the main role, if you like a face as pretty as a pain au raisin with an expression playing limited but appealing variants on waif-like ingratiation."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
1/5

Colin (2009)

"Colin plays things painfully straight."

Leo Robson

Tomato

Comedy of Power (2005)

"The script is dapper and the story slick. But it is Huppert who gives it heft, style and star power."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Control (2007)

"The film ends, as it begins and largely unfolds, in a blaze of affectlessness. This is anomie as art."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Copying Beethoven (2006)

"Amateurishly written, scarcely acted tosh."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato
4/5

Coraline (2009)

"The vision of Henry Selick adds a darkness to this sometimes sinister fairy tale."

Martin Hoyle

Splat
2/5

Creation (2009)

"A sub-plot features an orang-utan; it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most moving performer on screen."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

"It often catches the Fitzgerald mood of elegy and might-have-been: that subtle rapture of remembrance that can make us prize the lost past or future over the gift-wrapped immediacies of the present."

Nigel Andrews
