Bedevilled (2010) 89% EDIT “In his first feature, the Korean director shows a good grasp of how to build gradual suspense ...” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 19, 2021 Full Review A Room with a View (2007) 60% EDIT “The film lacks verve, and its location shots are tired. The best thing about the production, in fact, is some sprightly music from reliable French composer Gabriel Yared.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Munyurangabo (2007) 93% EDIT “Earnest and slow, the film takes time to reveal its intentions and the result is worthy but not engaging.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 23, 2016 Full Review The Tree (2010) 72% EDIT “It's well worth seeing the performance of young Morgana Davies as Simone, a child who becomes convinced that her late father speaks and listens to her through the comforting branches of the tree next to her house.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 5, 2012 Full Review Coriolanus (2011) 92% EDIT “Ralph Fiennes makes Shakespeare modern and bloody brilliant.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 1, 2011 Full Review Janie Jones (2010) 56% EDIT “An earnest tale about a faded rock star who discovers he has a teenaged daughter and takes her on the road, Janie Jones follows a predictable path and despite decent performances it does not catch fire.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 20, 2011 Full Review Armadillo (2010) 89% EDIT “When the bombs go off and the bullets start flying, Metz and his cameraman provide a real-life vision of what a hurt locker is really all about.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 1, 2011 Full Review The Trip (2010) 89% EDIT “The project suffers badly from being largely improvised as the pair fall back on familiar impressions and old jokes. Lazy and indulgent, it smacks of being what the British call a "jolly," that is a freebie with no obligation to turn in work afterward.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 7, 2011 Full Review Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) 32% EDIT “Captain Jack Sparrow is back in excellent form for his fourth adventure in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is more serious in the hands of a new director, Rob Marshall, and thanks to Penelope Cruz it's also a good deal sexier.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 11, 2011 Full Review Priest (2011) 16% EDIT “Doesn't have a prayer.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 9, 2011 Full Review Trust (2010) 79% EDIT “This theme is well-drawn, and the film plays out with great intensity as Owen's character grapples with the fact that the daughter he loves might have changed forever.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 28, 2011 Full Review White Irish Drinkers (2010) 47% EDIT “It's a sparkling piece of entertainment that deserves a wide audience.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14, 2011 Full Review Ironclad (2011) 43% EDIT “Medieval history lesson with lots of shattered bodies and splattered limbs.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2011 Full Review Archipelago (2010) 96% EDIT “Gloomy and unrewarding.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 8, 2011 Full Review The Turin Horse (2011) 87% EDIT “Monotonous and repetitive, the black-and-white production runs 146 very long minutes as the two go about their mind-numbing daily routines accompanied by a sonorous musical dirge that is as relentless as the ferocious winds outside.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 15, 2011 Full Review Paul (2011) 70% EDIT “A sci-fi spoof for everyone with funny encounters that will require close attention.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 7, 2011 Full Review A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) 83% EDIT “An oddball comedy with criminal undertones.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 11, 2011 Full Review London Boulevard (2010) 39% EDIT “Hard-boiled crime yarn with Irish wit, colorful characters and considerable style.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 30, 2010 Full Review Burke & Hare (2010) 33% EDIT “Unpleasant drivel that tries to make fun out of murder.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 29, 2010 Full Review Boxing Gym (2010) 95% EDIT “The film captures the energy, the stresses and the tension of people striking punching bags and each other but without narration, it all feels a bit random and uninteresting.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 7, 2010 Full Review Henry's Crime (2010) 43% EDIT “Mixing a bank raid with a stage romp becomes just too silly.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 5, 2010 Full Review Soul Kitchen (2009) 73% EDIT “Tasty concoction about a young man's frenetic struggle to keep his offbeat restaurant going.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 16, 2010 Full Review Amigo (2010) 60% EDIT “It's a familiar tale, but the setting is different, and Sayles tells it with his usual cinematic vigor and attention to small detail.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 16, 2010 Full Review Conviction (2010) 67% EDIT “Swank and Rockwell are very effective as siblings locked at the hip and their scenes together smack of a real shared history.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2010 Full Review Brighton Rock (2010) 51% EDIT “Rowan Joffe's film of Graham Greene's 1938 novel Brighton Rock takes a gothic approach to the story of a young thug obsessed with hell with little of the writer's subtlety and too much reliance on a loud quasi-religious choral score.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2010 Full Review
