Splat

Salvation (2008)

"[Cox's] own views on modern-day evangelical Christianity are so strong that a snide mockery overpowers the film, undermining its comedic yield and draining it of nuance."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

Samson and Delilah (2009)

"There is a profound statement about love in this film -- a commitment to caring which goes way beyond the pleasure principle."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

The Secret Life of Bees (2008)

"The story is a gentle depiction of harsh times that works best as a coming-of-age parable, not so well as a historical drama."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

The September Issue (2009)

"The real Anna Wintour, the perennial editor/dominatrix of American Vogue, is much more fascinating than Meryl Streep's version."

Ruth Hessey

Tomato

Séraphine (2008)

"If you're in the mood for a gentle, unsentimental film, where the director has made choices that are intelligent and thoughtful, seek this out."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

A Serious Man (2009)

"It's cinema at its best, leaving your mind in motion long after the final credits have rolled."

Jason Di Rosso

Splat

Seven Pounds (2008)

"[Smith] has all the angst and gravitas of a school child pulling a straight face at assembly."

Jason Di Rosso

Splat

Sex Drive (2008)

"Why in the world is this essentially sweet tale of two super shy teenagers who fall in love dressed up in utterly profane fancy dress?"

Ruth Hessey

Splat

Shall We Kiss? (2008)

"The film goes badly awry, I think. There is something coy and miscalculated about it all. Mouret is quite talented as an actor, but maybe it's time he found another writer."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

"Together Boyle and his co-director Loveleen Tandeen have created a portrait of a city in transition -- a place of relentless energy, of ambition and inspiration; of poverty and exploitation, of obscene riches and modest desires."

Jason Di Rosso

Splat

The Soloist (2009)

"There's something about The Soloist's aura of religiosity that seems simplistic. An unsatisfying, jarring note, in this otherwise hopeful, triumphant story."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

Son of Rambow (2008)

"This is a winner, a film to which you can safely take your kids and enjoy yourself."

Julie Rigg

Splat

The Spirit (2008)

"It's a plot from the 'more is more' school of scriptwriting and while the live action crossed with stylised graphic novel effect is sublime, it can't distract from the clunkiness of it all."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

Star Trek (2009)

"It is a hi-energy, optimistic work, but it gives the impression of being afraid to alienate its audience with too much nerdy information."

Jason Di Rosso

Splat

State of Play (2009)

"The film held me a fair way in, because it's well paced and the actors are competent. But finally, the plot took one or two big twists too far."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

Step Brothers (2008)

"Like toothpaste from a tube, every last laugh is squeezed from this absurd premise, where both men pushing forty act like they're 14. Surprisingly, it's enough to make it work."

Jason Di Rosso

Tomato

Stone Bros. (2009)

"Stone Brothers indulges in a spectacular willingness to take the piss that's both a strength and a weakness."

Ruth Hessey

Tomato

Summer Hours (2009)

"Summer Hours is a delicate, provocative film, and for those of us thinking about what we leave the next generation, a timely one."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

"The payoff in this film is nowhere near as schmaltzy as in Little Miss Sunshine, for which I'm grateful. It's not great drama, but it's bittersweet, and diverting."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

"The payoff in this film is nowhere near as schmaltzy as in Little Miss Sunshine, for which I'm grateful. It's not great drama, but it's bittersweet, and diverting."

Julie Rigg

Tomato

Synecdoche, New York (2008)

"The odd thing about this film is that it's more fun to think about than to actually watch. But you know what? Having thought about it, I actually want to go and see it again."

Julie Rigg
