Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 61% “The exclusively digital design of the film is rather beautiful, and the battle and chase scenes are vivid and exciting.” – Independent (UK) Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) 96% “Never has human folly seemed so vivid, rapacious and primeval.” – Independent (UK) Apr 30, 2024 Full Review A Time for Drunken Horses (2000) 86% “It's hard to criticise a movie with such a laudable humanitarian agenda, or its impoverished director, who virtually stopped eating to make it. Occasionally, though, I felt the story relied a little too heavily on that grim tug at the heartstrings.” – Independent (UK) Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Planet of the Apes (2001) 43% 2/5 “This is a movie of woeful, overproduced inadequacy, immature politics and shallow intent.” – Independent (UK) Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Benjamin Smoke (2000) 70% 3/5 “Smoke's life had not been an easy one in the rural Deep South, but this moving tribute comes across as vindication of his "folk-noir" music and unquenchable individuality.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) 42% 2/5 “It's quite clever and quite cute, in a 10-minute-joke-stretched-into-a-feature kind of way.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) 16% 2/5 “Childish, but you might find yourself giggling.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Remember the Titans (2000) 71% 2/5 “This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Faithless (2000) 85% 2/5 “A suffocating, anachronistic piece of film-making. ” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Almost Famous (2000) 91% 2/5 “Certain nostalgic types may be happy enough with the flimsy plot and lack of serious dramatic conflict: I found its conviction that the audience would acquiesce to certain cultural givens to be, frankly, a bit of a bore.” – Independent (UK) Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Nightshift (2001) 3/5 “Well-made industrial melodrama. ” – Independent (UK) Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Shallow Hal (2001) 49% 2/5 “Unexpectedly rather sweet and underplayed, given that it comes from the gross-out kings. ” – Independent (UK) Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Training Day (2001) 74% 3/5 “Superior buddy cop movie. ” – Independent (UK) Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Gosford Park (2001) 87% 5/5 “I don't think I've ever seen the British class system of the 1930s so artfully dissected. It's all the more remarkable when you consider that Altman is a 76-year-old American -- albeit a Southern gent. A huge, huge treat. ” – Independent (UK) Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Atanarjuat the Fast Runner (2001) 93% 4/5 “Running close to three hours, it's a long film but also one of those movies that almost physically transports you to another place.” – Independent (UK) Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Traffic (2000) 93% 5/5 “This is Hollywood filmmaking at its best: an enjoyable, inventive, and clever 147-minute bounce on the puffy, coke-white underbelly of American executive power. ” – Independent (UK) Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% “A sensational piece of moviemaking -- a wild folly dripping with a sour nectar of cinematic bravado.” – Independent (UK) Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Gladiator (2000) 80% 3/5 “Ridley Scott does a creditable job re-inventing a long neglected genre, helped in the main by Russell Crowe's brooding presence as the brilliant Roman general, done away with by the dastardly heir to the Imperial throne.” – Independent (UK) Nov 1, 2022 Full Review By the Grace of God (2018) 96% “Ozon is not someone you would normally expect to eschew his usual gothic to make public-service announcements in the manner of this film, but what it shares with his other works is a deep understanding of the way trauma endures in the world.” – Sight & Sound Oct 29, 2019 Full Review A Simple Life (2011) 94% “There's none of the flashy food porn you'd get in an Ang Lee film such as Eat Drink Man Woman, but as a quiet examination of the central role of food in domestic Cantonese culture, this is about as good as it gets.” – Sight & Sound Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Lebanon (2009) 90% “The director, who admits to having killed a man on his own tour of duty, is painting a portrait of an utterly hopeless, chaotic and morally compromised scenario in which nobody wins.” – Sight & Sound Jul 10, 2018 Full Review Behind the Candelabra (2013) 94% “Douglas brings a preening, nervous energy to a performance that may well prove to be the best of his career...” – Sight & Sound Apr 4, 2018 Full Review A Ghost Story (2017) 91% “This is a film not so much about spooks as about deadly loss and the disorientation it brings.” – Sight & Sound Sep 4, 2017 Full Review The Assassin (2015) 80% “A film that gains greatly from second or third viewings.” – Sight & Sound Jan 22, 2016 Full Review 45 Years (2015) 97% “Both actors give stunning performances.” – Sight & Sound Aug 27, 2015 Full Review
