Tomato 4/5
An Education (2009)
"An Education offers plenty to enjoy and admire. It’s full of first-rate performances."
Cosmo Landesman
Splat 1/5
Angels & Demons (2009)
"As a cracking tale of code-cracking, Angels & Demons never really works. Howard doesn’t create the drama of a great mind facing great challenges, struggling to see the truth as the clock ticks."
Adam (2009)
"It comes across simply as a bit of bland do-gooding."
Edward Porter
Afghan Star (2009)
"An absorbing — if, inevitably, impressionistic — picture of life in Kabul and beyond."
Splat 2/5
Aliens in the Attic (2009)
"Cue some uninspired but reasonably entertaining mayhem. The aliens are mediocre CGI bipeds who wouldn’t last 10 seconds against a horde of Gremlins."
Tomato 3/5
The Army of Crime (2009)
"A credible, detailed picture of day-to-day life in occupied France: an attraction in itself."
Avenue Montaigne (2007)
"Without any change to its essential cosiness, it could surely have been more surprising in its emotional scenes and funnier in its comic ones."
Awaydays (2009)
"Bell’s wholehearted performance and the film’s convincingly scuzzy atmosphere don’t make up for the big hole in the script."
Afterschool (2009)
"At heart it’s another unpleasant existential crisis for another unpleasant schoolboy in another unpleasant American prep school."
