Tomato

Across the Universe (2007)

"The film’s too long but when it works, as in a slickly choreographed military induction scene with Taymor’s trademark giant puppets and carnival heads, it’s exhilarating."

Martin Hoyle

Splat
2/5

Adam (2009)

"Everyone dallies and dithers and radiates well-meaningly. This is mental illness served up for romcom pathos and sentimentality."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

Adventureland (2009)

"While this has its longueurs and is not without clichés, it is also a richly enjoyable, witty, well observed piece of nostalgia."

Tomato

Afghan Star (2009)

"Havana Marking’s uproarious, awareness-raising documentary tells us more about the title country than a month of newscasts."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
5/5

Afterschool (2009)

"This is a major debut. A dystopic vision, yes; but in comparison with the usual school high-jinks from US cinema - fiercely fresh and corrosively memorable."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Alexandra (2008)

"The eerie haze of the visuals, the half-babble of music and the toneless, teasing dialogue dance attendance on the strangest ghost of all: Galina Vishnevskaya."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
1/5

Aliens in the Attic (2009)

"Very winsome and very long."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

"An endearing effort that will appeal to under-10s with its slight tale of the three all-talking, all-singing rodents."

Karl French

Splat

Am I Black Enough For You

"Am I Black Enough for You is a brain-curdling essay in docu-sycophancy."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
1/5

Amelia (2009)

"Woodenly acted and grinningly bland, this Amelia Earhart life story turns Hilary Swank and Richard Gere, playing the aviatrix’s publisher husband, into virtual Thunderbirds puppets."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

American Gangster (2007)

"Length does not add substance to the drama, even where reality adds weight to the argument."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

American Teen (2008)

"It is medium-mesmerising, even if we are gnawed by secret shame at watching a glorified reality TV show."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

An Education (2009)

"Mulligan has a sit-up-and-watch talent."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Angels & Demons (2009)

"Ron Howard directs a pell-mell script (David Koepp, Akiva Goldman) with more agility than he showed in Code. Though the story suffers intermittent daftness."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Anna M. (2007)

"Think Fatal Attraction gone French and gone wrong."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Año Uña (2008)

"Paradoxes, riddles, exchanges; apocalypses of the mind and heart. This tender, funny, constantly surprising film is the debut of the year."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

Antichrist (2009)

"Antichrist is a fairground ride through the brain of a genius, both nightmarish and apocalyptic. Trier’s head is the most dangerous place in modern cinema, its multiple caverns mysteriously structured and weirdly laid out."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)

"Bitterly funny, uproariously sad, irresistibly human."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Anything for Her (2008)

"French thriller Anything for Her has a livelier way with predictability."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

The Army of Crime (2009)

"Grave, heartfelt, medium-engrossing, it still feels like every resistance movie you have ever seen, rolled into a ball of historical revisionism."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

As You Like It (2006)

"Kenneth Branagh is in danger of becoming the next Kenneth Branagh, in a career of serial self-replication as our last unstoppable screen Shakespearean."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Ashes of Time Redux (1994)

" It is magnificent eye candy. Forget the plot (which you will be hard-pressed to understand) and store in your memory for later use the dialogue’s Zen Buddhist proverbs."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

"Affleck and Pitt have prime charge of the tale’s humanity and vitality. The first has nervous headlamp eyes and a wheedling, accosting intensity: he is like a homeless pet you would feel sorry for up to the moment it bit you."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Atonement (2007)

"A handful of brilliant performances makes Atonement worth seeing."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato

Australia (2008)

"The photography is a knockout. All Australia needed was a script with a sustained story and a stronger sense of where, and how, tragic drama should take over from camp seriocomedy."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

Avatar (2009)

"The villains are mostly out of pantomime; much of the dialogue needs a stretcher; and the save-the-rainforest plot is a pain. Just take your eyes to the film. Leave all other faculties at home."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Away We Go (2009)

"Potentially poignant stories are presented with the same caricatural brusqueness or dispassion as the stories of people who are plain stupid."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Awaydays (2009)

"Script, editing and some poorly staged fight sequences render this inchoate and almost unforgivably uninteresting."

Karl French
