Sakuran (2006) |
"If it is all a little like an arty novelette, there’s no doubt it is a feast for the eye." |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Her comic persona is that of a clueless and politically incorrect hipster who says terrible things without being aware of their shock value. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Scarface (1983) |
"To call the whole thing visceral is a palpable understatement." |

The Science of Sleep (2006) |

The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"The casting is fine, but the film’s strange and potentially heartening story desperately needs a bolder touch." |

Splat 2/5 |
The Secret of Moonacre (2008) |
"The production design gives us plenty for the eye but a dull screenplay and patchy editing hardly bring the fantasy to life." |

Semi-Pro (2008) |
"Ferrell mugs his way through with enthusiasm, but Harrelson looks a bit dumbstruck by it all." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
The September Issue (2009) |
"The world isn’t always pretty, and neither is the one depicted here, but it’s nice to think the imagination will always have its place. Strike a pose." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Seraphim Falls (2007) |
"Finally recalls a less convincing version of those of Anthony Mann which managed realism and the mythic without a false note." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Séraphine (2008) |
"Séraphine doesn’t mess with the formula but the script allows plenty of awkward details to remain and we’re allowed to decide for ourselves if fame was a godsend for her." |

A Serious Man (2009) |
"There’s no real answer given, but then the Coen brothers have never been known as philosophers. They are, however, pretty smart film-makers." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Seventh Seal (1957) |
"Bergman's superbly shot wintry images, much like those of a silent film, print themselves indelibly on the mind, while the Knight's search for a God who never answers foreshadows the pessimism of the director's later work." |

Sex Drive (2008) |
"It is played with gusto and each of the characters avoids stereotype. It is also genuinely funny at least half of the time. The other half is a bit prurient in a style with which we are all too familiar now." |

Shadows in the Sun |
"Shadows in the Sun unfurls as quietly as a mouse and could be accused of lacking urgency and bite. But it is well played." |

Sheitan (2006) |
"Despite the air of brutish aggression and sexual predatoriness, little happens until gory retribution finally rears its head." |
Nick Curtis |
Tomato 3/5 |
Sherlock Holmes (2009) |
"The film is Ritchie’s most coherent bit of storytelling. The tone is light but not facetious and the pace would be hectic if there weren’t so many humdrum lacunae." |
Nick Curtis |
Tomato 3/5 |
Shifty (2008) |
"Couched in a kind of Pinteresque slum language that needs a glossary to be totally intelligible, the film boasts an authenticity and wholly natural performances, particularly from Mays, and is devoid of the usual clichés of its genre." |

Shoot 'Em Up (2007) |
"It pokes fun at the American obsessions of guns, breasts and violence, says the producer. But can we have a proper storyline next time round, Mr Davis?" |
Derek Malcolm |

Shorts (2009) |
"There’s more fun to be had from watching the various miracles on display than deciphering the story, or wondering why William H Macy and James Spader took bit parts in it." |

Shrek the Third (2007) |
"There can't be another episode in the pipeline unless it is decided to erase the memory of this one which simply doesn't achieve what the first two films managed: to appeal to kids and parents as well." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Sicko (2007) |
"Moore has again made a film which, though basically sound in logic, sugars the pill in a way which seems suspect in its determination to suggest that, as far as healthcare is concerned, America is bad and everywhere else is good." |

Sin Nombre (2009) |
"The film will linger in the mind long after its devastating conclusion. You leave the cinema breathless and disquieted but also with a sense of having had something important revealed to you. In a very strong field, this is the year’s best film so far." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Singer (2006) |
"Giannoli's film is as bitter as it is sweet and paints the scene with masterly precision, even if the usual comforting ending is at odds with what has gone before." |

Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006) |
"The result is a persuasive movie which proves beyond doubt that at least some geniuses are intensely practical as well as intuitive." |

Skin (2009) |
"You could hardly call this a timely film but it does remind us of the evils of racism and the misery it causes." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 5/5 |
Sleep Furiously (2008) |
"Sleep Furiously may be the most beautifully elemental documentary film to have emerged in Britain in over a decade and I can’t applaud it loudly enough." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Sleuth (2007) |
"Whether you like the film probably depends on whether you can treat it all as seriously as Pinter and Branagh. If you can't, this short, brackish piece will not work at all, even if you don't regard it as a piece of piss." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) |
"I'm not sure it's a great movie, but it's certainly a great audience movie." |

Slumdog Millionaire (2008) |
"It’s a fantasy with realist stud marks, full of energy, colour and, frankly, cliché." |

Smokin' Aces (2007) |
