Tomato 3/5
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
"Demme...allows events to meander at times, but his cast is deft and emotionally direct."
Philippa Hawker
Splat 2.5/5
The Reader (2008)
"The film...hankers after something redemptive. But whatever difficult possibilities about guilt and silence it explores are dissolved into disconcerting blandness."
Red Cliff (2009)
"A handsome, vigorous, entertaining film that never becomes exhilarating."
Religulous (2008)
"Rather disconcertingly, the film builds towards a vision of the apocalypse, the destructive fate that religious conflicts have in store for us -- a version of the future any hellfire preacher would be proud of."
Splat 1.5/5
Rip!: A Remix Manifesto (2009)
"There are better guides to the subject than Gaylor, who discusses everything from Napster to pharmaceutical patents without ever varying his dated we-the-people rhetoric."
Jake Wilson
Splat 2/5
RocknRolla (2008)
"It is perhaps high time for us to just come out and finally admit to the world that director Guy Ritchie is not a very good filmmaker."
Jim Schembri
Tomato 3.5/5
Roman de Gare (2008)
"An engaging, enjoyable slice of suspense from the French."
Rudo and Cursi (2009)
"A film that can’t quite choose between the light and dark possibilities it conjures."
