Tomato
5/5

Samson and Delilah (2009)

"It is the most confronting, powerful, honest and important film about indigenous culture yet made in this country."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
3.5/5

The September Issue (2009)

"What makes it worth watching is the often fraught dynamic of the relationship between Wintour and Vogue's creative director, Grace Coddington."

Philippa Hawker

Tomato
4/5

A Serious Man (2009)

"On some level, the Coens' flippancy is self-protective. But there's fascination and pleasure in their trick of constructing a film like a theorem where nothing adds up."

Jake Wilson

Splat
1.5/5

Seven Pounds (2008)

"There is indeed a secret, but it is not overly challenging to work out what's going on in this annoying film."

Philippa Hawker

Splat
1.5/5

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)

"I had to wonder what happened to the qualities that made the show famous: the outrageous dialogue, the sense of female camaraderie, the embrace of casual sex as a guiltless pleasure."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
4/5

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

"Beaufoy has deftly honed the book's jagged narrative line, amalgamating characters and building smooth bridges between a collection of vignettes."

Sandra Hall

Tomato
3/5

Smother (2008)

"This film has its share of crass, unlikely jokes, but also allows its characters some psychological complexity."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/5

The Soloist (2009)

"What's altogether surprising is its refusal to romanticise either of its troubled or flawed central characters."

Paul Kalina

Splat
1.5/4

Son of a Lion (2008)

"As a work of art, it's a transparent con, particularly when Gilmour defensively insists on the 'humanity' of his characters for the benefit of the Western viewer."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
4/4

Son of a Lion (2008)

"Films take a gamble when they take you out of your zone of familiarity -- as this one does."

Sandra Hall

Tomato
3/5

Son of Rambow (2008)

"It's a mildly startling choice of subject matter, but Jennings takes for granted that even the most innocent cineastes have their sadistic side."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
2.5/4

Space Chimps (2008)

"A movie called Space Chimps ought to be cheap, crude and silly, and this computer-animated lark delivers on all fronts."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3.5/5

Speed Racer (2008)

"Given that Speed Racer itself is basically an elaborate commercial, the anti-corporate message inevitably rings hollow."

Jake Wilson

Splat
2/5

The Spirit (2008)

"As an action director Miller is almost as clumsy as Baz Luhrmann, but he's far from naïve, and presumably the delirium of The Spirit is exactly what he intended."

Jake Wilson

Splat
2.5/5

Spirit of the Marathon (2008)

"In its more tranquil stretches, Spirit of the Marathon might be mistaken for a feature-length sneaker advertisement, but if you're looking for inspiration, you could do worse."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/5

The Square (2009)

"The script is neatly plotted, though not without flaws. Some developments occur in a rush, as if to distract us from asking inconvenient questions."

Jake Wilson

Splat
2.5/5

Star Trek (2009)

"Well, at least they got it half right."

Jim Schembri

Tomato
3/5

State of Play (2009)

"State of Play succeeds as mainstream entertainment to the point where it hardly makes sense to complain about its pulled political punches."

Jake Wilson

Tomato
3/4

Step Brothers (2008)

"One thing spoils the mood: for all the joy that Ferrell and Reilly take in brawling or whimpering like two-year-olds, immaturity is still seen as something to be overcome."

Jake Wilson

Splat
1/5

Stone Bros. (2009)

"Frankland's attempt at a broad stoner comedy misses the mark in so many ways the film almost qualifies as a tragedy."

Jim Schembri

Tomato

Summer Hours (2009)

"Summer Hours examines sentiment and attachment, but it is an unsentimental work, a film that lets some secrets remain undisturbed and does not insist on confrontation."

Philippa Hawker
