Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Based in truth, but with the simplicity and force of a well-crafted fable, Rabbit-Proof Fence is an elegant film that shows us the blind spots of history in a way that is moving without being didactic." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"a decent and at times entertaining bit of kid-centric fantastical escapism that alternates its hectic chase sequences and special effects spectacle with comedy involving government conspiracies and a geeky sci-fi convention." |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"Part of the surprise of Ratatouille is the unexpected way in which it unfolds. Brad Bird's script has some of the expected dramatic turns but it also holds a number of surprises." |

Ratcatcher (2000) |
"Done so deftly, with such a exquisitely poetic touch and keen understanding of the paradoxical coexistence of filth and beauty in the world, that you can forgive some of its narrative triteness." |
