Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
4/5

Scarface (1983)

"This almost Jacobean tale of drug gangsters in 1980s Miami is rather too long for the points it makes, but is nevertheless riveting and still, after 26 years, remarkably fresh."

Peter Whittle

Splat
1/5

School for Scoundrels (2006)

"Only toward the end of the film do the hostilities reach a level of recklessness with any potential to be funny. If things had started at that pitch and been ramped up from there, Phillips might have had a movie worth making."

Edward Porter

Tomato
3/5

The Science of Sleep (2006)

"Another comic love story that takes us inside a character’s psyche, but Kaufman’s rock-solid jokes are replaced by whimsy."

Edward Porter

Splat
2/5

The Secret of Moonacre (2008)

"Richards starred in 2007’s The Golden Compass and, compared with big-budget fantasies of that kind, this smaller effort can’t help looking mimsy, despite its good intentions."

Edward Porter

Tomato
3/5

Séraphine (2008)

"It’s a plodding film in its storytelling, but with a sensitive attitude to its subject. In its best moments, it simply wonders at the rapturous state in which this devout Christian creates her art."

Edward Porter

Tomato
4/5

A Serious Man (2009)

"The human comedy as portrayed in this film was never so cruel — or so funny."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
2/5

Sheitan (2006)

"If only Cassel had saved his performance for a collaboration with the League of Gentlemen."

Edward Porter

Tomato
4/5

Shifty (2008)

"The dialogue is a nice mix of Pinteresque menace, drug lingo, laddism and cracking one-liners."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
2/5

Shorts (2009)

"The special effects aren’t up to scratch and the scrappy, episodic conceit detracts rather than enhances."

Rebecca Nicholson

Tomato
3/5

Skin (2009)

"Skin is one of those worthy and watchable dramas that are un-demanding and a bit underwhelming. It should leave you with a big lump in your throat, but it’s strangely unemotional."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
2/5

Slepe Lásky (2008)

"The film avoids sentimentality, yet there’s no denying that we sighted people end up feeling sorry for them — something I don’t think they would want."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
2/5

Soi Cowboy (2009)

"There is skill, thoughtfulness and chutzpah here, but not enough to create the sort of mesmeric power that a film of this kind needs."

Edward Porter

Splat
2/5

Sounds Like Teen Spirit

"Johnson’s film is meant to be a heartwarming and funny look at young dreamers and the realities of their lives. But there’s something distasteful in portraying these kids as lovable losers."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
1/5

The Spell (2009)

"The script is appalling, the dialogue is flat, the acting is unforgivable and the horror scenes are unintentionally comic. Yes — in Carey Jones, Britain has produced its own Ed Wood."

Cosmo Landesman

Tomato
5/5

Star Trek (2009)

"Here is a film that slaps your expectations around with surprise after surprise, leaving you shaking your head in disbelief that a Star Trek film could be this good."

Cosmo Landesman

Tomato
4/5

Starsuckers (2009)

"Atkins deserves credit for a lively and thought-provoking documentary on a subject more suitable to a book than a film."

Cosmo Landesman

Tomato
3/5

State of Play (2009)

"State of Play is enjoyable, but this is not a great thriller. It’s a cold film that has no emotional drive, no defining mood of tension or paranoia."

Cosmo Landesman

Tomato
3/5

Stone of Destiny (2008)

"As a film, it’s a touch too Hollywood, and full of too much patriotic Braveheart guff, but, on the whole, the American director and writer, Charles Martin Smith, has created an amiable and watchable heist movie."

Cosmo Landesman

Splat
2/5

Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

"Instead of something fresh and funny, this film is as formulaic and empty as any Hollywood blockbuster."

Cosmo Landesman

Tomato
3/5

Synecdoche, New York (2008)

"This is a classic Kaufmanesque work: bold, bizarre and utterly baffling."

Cosmo Landesman
