What a Man!
(1944)
|
Carly Millar
|
[Matthias] Schweighfer has created a shameless, formulaic rom-com, even down to the clichd 'mad scramble to the airport to declare undying love' resolution. It's also strangely enjoyable.

The Chef
(2012)
|
Rochelle Siemienowicz
|
There's very little to tax or surprise the viewer, but it's a fun swipe at those who take their food too seriously.

(2012)
|
Anthony Morris

It's not a classic telling of a classic tale, but it sure is pretty to look at.

Cosmopolis
(2012)
|
Anthony Morris

[Robert] Pattinson is enthralling as a man who never quite adds up.

A Separation
(2011)
|
Jody Macgregor
|
A Separation raises a lot of questions: some the viewer is left to consider; others have answers cleverly concealed in the manner of an expertly crafted detective movie.

The Cabin in the Woods
(2011)
|
Sean Lynch
|
As funny as it is horrifying, as disrespectful as it is utterly faithful - to give away any more would deprive you of one of the most surprising and refreshing films you are likely to see this decade.

Skyfall
(2012)
|
Anthony Thomas
|
[Javier] Bardem's gleefully sinister performance makes him the most traditional (and fun) Bond villain in years.

Bernie
(2011)
|
Carolina Parkinson
|
[Richard] Linklater expertly directs his stars and a brilliant cast of non-actors without condescension, relying instead on the remarkable and bizarre truth of this fascinating only-in-America tale.

Into the Abyss

Myriad viewpoints, combined with Herzog's sensitive but candid line of questioning, result in a thought-provoking study

Life of Pi

Stunning visuals and a bravura performance from newcomer Suraj Sharma as the young protagonist make Life of Pi a quest destined to impress.

No prior knowledge of the crime is required, and those wanting a proper resolution to the story will not be dissatisfied.

Barbara
(2012)
|
Dion Kagan
|
Barbara evokes nostalgia for the look of socialist East Berlin and a creeping horror at its dehumanisation of everyday life.

Resident Evil: Retribution
(2012)
|
Guy Davis
|
Rather than try to make sense of a story where Alice is pitted against rampaging monsters in scenarios borrowed from other movies, focus instead on the simple pleasures this saga provides.

The Look of Love
(2013)

If [Michael Winterbottom] wanted to drain the Soho smut industry of all nostalgic glamour and fun, then he's succeeded.

Blue Is the Warmest Color
(2013)
|
Dion Kagan
|
'Coming-of-age drama' sounds like a terrible cliché, but there are few other ways of describing Blue Is the Warmest Colour.

Rosewater
(2014)
|
Lauren Carroll Harris
|
When it ventures into the more abstract territory of its tortured protagonist's mind, the film is able to show how comedians can be unlikely heroes for serious causes, and how humour and imagination can survive the worst totalitarian attacks.
