Tomato
3.5/5

The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009)

"I’d have been happy if this 2.5-hour film had been even longer than it is because, despite its immediacy and the skill with which the events are recreated, it only scratches the surface."

David Stratton

Splat
0.5/5

Babylon A.D. (2008)

"Whatever happened to Mathieu Kassovitz, the French actor director whose amazing film La Haine made such an impact 13 years ago?"

David Stratton

Tomato
3.5/5

Balibo (2009)

"Despite [the] drawbacks, Balibo still tells a very powerful story, one that needed to be told."

David Stratton

Splat
2/5

Be Kind Rewind (2008)

"And the film ought to be funny, with Mike and Jerry recreating those films as home movies. But somehow it’s not, the laughs are very thin on the ground."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4.5/5

Beautiful Kate (2009)

"I was just completely bowled over by the emotions in this film. It's a very strongly emotional film, with wonderful performances."

David Stratton

Tomato
4.5/5

Beautiful Kate (2009)

"This quite wonderful piece of cinema ventures into areas of family transgression that may not appeal to everyone. What distinguishes the film are the truly splendid performances from the whole cast, the intelligent screenplay and direction."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4/5

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

"Conceptually bold and unnervingly suspenseful, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is one of the best films Lumet has directed in a very long and at times uneven career."

David Stratton

Tomato
3/5

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

"Quite sweet."

Margaret Pomeranz

Splat
0.5/5

Big Stan (2007)

"2008 has, with one or two exceptions, been a diabolical year for American comedy, and Big Stan hits rock bottom."

David Stratton

Tomato
4/5

The Black Balloon (2008)

"It’s a very auspicious debut for this young Australian filmmaker."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4.5/5

Blessed (2009)

"Kokkinos is never backward in confronting her audience, but she’s also a sensitive portrayer of emotions that are basic to us all and with this marvellous film she has created her best work so far."

David Stratton

Tomato
3/5

Blindness (2008)

"Blindness is a worthy film, and in many ways a beautifully made one – the opening and closing sequences are the best. But in between it’s heavy, gloomy and at times pretty hard to sit through."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
3/5

The Boat That Rocked (2009)

"A lot of The Boat That Rocked is fun but it could, and should, have been a great deal more fun than it is."

David Stratton

Tomato
4/5

Body of Lies (2008)

"The complex plot is rendered with clarity and precision, the action scenes are very well staged, the suspense is palpable, and the performances are first-rate."

David Stratton

Tomato
3.5/5

Bottle Shock (2008)

"It’s a triumph of the underdog film, but what it does have is a simply delicious performance by Alan Rickman, who does resigned disdain like no one else on screen."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4/5

The Box (2009)

"The interesting thing about Richard Kelly's films is that in none of them do you know exactly what's happening, and it does not really matter, because there is such a wealth of imagination there. I found it very impressive."

David Stratton

Tomato
4/5

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)

"For me, the pluses far outweighed any misgivings I had with this ultimately very moving film."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4/5

The Boys Are Back (2009)

"Director, Scott Hicks has created a really lovely film. It’s fortunate that the star power of Clive Owen gives the film a core dynamism."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4.5/5

Brick Lane (2008)

"It is, like all immigrant stories, about identity and Nazneen’s journey is both painful and touching."

Margaret Pomeranz

Splat
2.5/5

Brideshead Revisited (2008)

"At just over two hours, the film naturally feels a bit cramped and the most interesting elements are given fairly short shrift."

David Stratton

Tomato
4/5

Broken Embraces (2009)

"Even though it may not be Almodovar’s best film, it is still eminently watchable and thoroughly enjoyable."

Margaret Pomeranz

Splat
2.5/5

Bronson (2009)

"It is a mesmerising performance from Tom Hardy. But as a study of this man, it didn't interest me at all. I thought it was rather facile."

David Stratton

Tomato
4/5

Bronson (2009)

"Tom Hardy is just outstanding, actually all the performances are pitch perfect for the material. It’s a class act this film, it just will not appeal to audiences who don’t want to be confronted with violence when they go to the movies."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4/5

The Brothers Bloom (2009)

"This is a beautiful film in many ways. It looks great, the performances are just a delight, Rachel Weisz is absolutely bewitching, it’s funny and funky, eccentric and romantic."

Margaret Pomeranz

Splat
1/5

Bruno (2009)

"Call me a grouch, but I found myself on side with Harrison Ford who, when stalked by Bruno for an interview, tells him exactly where to go."

David Stratton

Tomato
3.5/5

Bruno (2009)

"There's a love story at the heart of this and it's not necessarily a feature film, but it is a film phenomenon and he is a master at self-promotion, you've got to admit."

Margaret Pomeranz

Tomato
4.5/5

Burn After Reading (2008)

"Made with the absolute assurance of filmmakers who know exactly what they’re doing."

David Stratton
