Solo (2006) “Feature bow by helmer-scripter Morgan O'Neill has knockabout charm and dry wit, but is hampered by blind fidelity to overfamiliar and often awkwardly applied genre conventions.” – Variety Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Memories of Matsuko (2006) “Helmer has a lot of cynical fun at his subject's expense along the way, but pic's bid for near-religious significance in the sentimental finale is as either a misfired joke or as phony as a 3,000 yen bill.” – Variety Jan 13, 2021 Full Review Irresistible (2006) 22% “Pic flirts with Hitchcockian touches, but inappropriate application of techniques fails narrative's specific needs.” – Variety May 13, 2020 Full Review Haunters (2010) 73% “Kim Min-seok's writing-directing debut is a superior entry that stops short of the bloody excesses of K-horror, but contains several chilling setpieces that rep respectable facsimiles of Hollywood-style fight-and-chase scenes.” – Variety May 8, 2020 Full Review Jolly LLB (2013) 71% 2/5 “The ill-fitted nature of the film's limp comical jibes, and this odd finale, suggest Kapoor (and his producers) may have deliberately toned down the strong material for fear of retribution.” – sbs.com.au Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Golmaal 3 (2010) 44% “All the thesps have fun, and Kapoor can barely keep a straight face... stunts have a homegrown look but still provide thrills.” – Variety Jul 6, 2016 Full Review What's in the Darkness (Hei chu you shen me) (2015) 3.5/5 “Clearly a director of talent, Wang will make a better writer if she cares to see her own ideas through to fruition.” – sbs.com.au Jun 17, 2016 Full Review The Assassin (2015) 80% 4/5 “It's an indisputable fact that Hou Hsiao-hsien's first wu xia movie The Assassin is an exquisitely beautiful film.” – sbs.com.au Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Corn Island (2014) 80% 4/5 “The beautiful images -- much of the time unsullied by anything as manipulative as music -- are enough to rivet the eye and lead the viewer slowly from scene to scene.” – sbs.com.au Aug 6, 2015 Full Review 99 Homes (2014) 92% 4/5 “Well-constructed, courageous and savvy.” – sbs.com.au Jun 12, 2015 Full Review Sunrise (2016) 88% 2.5/5 “Sen-Gupta's talent as an art director (which is how he began his film career) is not in doubt, but his grasp of narrative is flimsy.” – sbs.com.au Jun 12, 2015 Full Review Special 26 (2013) 91% 3.5/5 “There are only two songs (often a bugbear for newcomers) but one of those -- a wedding dance number between Kumar and love interest Kajal Agarwal -- is a dazzling corker.” – sbs.com.au May 17, 2015 Full Review Kai Po Che! (2013) 80% 3.5/5 “The performances are strong throughout, but both Yadav and Rajput particularly impress, as they imbue their potentially clichéd roles of egghead accountant and hot-headed control freak with true depth.” – sbs.com.au May 17, 2015 Full Review Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) 75% 1.5/5 “Admittedly, the film has a thorough knowledge of its forebears and though it namechecks them at every opportunity, Kingsman brings very little that's new or valuable to the playing table.” – sbs.com.au Jan 29, 2015 Full Review Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) 88% 2.5/5 “There's little doubt that Kikuchi has put a lot of herself into the role of Kumiko, but the film doesn't probe very deep. The film upholds the annoying tradition of festival cinema of being an extended anecdote rather than a sustained story.” – sbs.com.au Jan 26, 2015 Full Review Timbuktu (2014) 98% 4.5/5 “Timbuktu connects these disparate threads together with a poet's ease and a delightful grace.” – sbs.com.au Jan 16, 2015 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% 3.5/5 “The film plays out in a satisfying manner, but with subtlety having served its purpose, it becomes increasingly bombastic about its intent.” – sbs.com.au Dec 24, 2014 Full Review Turkey Shoot (2014) 20% 1/5 “The action sequences are poorly rendered and its satirical edge is blunted by its borrowings from sharper films such as Rollerball and Starship Troopers.” – sbs.com.au Dec 4, 2014 Full Review Love Hotel (2014) 2/5 “Don't panic -- or fall for the film's phony sentimentalism -- Japan's love hotels aren't vanishing just yet and neither will similar lightweight Japan and sex documentaries disappear from the film festival circuit.” – sbs.com.au Aug 21, 2014 Full Review Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014) 92% 4/5 “If you're one of those people who still use the phrase, "It's so bad, it's good," then you'll love this.” – sbs.com.au Aug 15, 2014 Full Review Fantail (2013) 3/5 “Overall, despite its charms, the film feels like it is missing a vital part, like a car only running on three wheels.” – sbs.com.au Aug 15, 2014 Full Review The Infinite Man (2014) 94% 4.5/5 “Unafraid of its low budget limitations, The Infinite Man makes splendid use of its three-person cast, revels in its minimalist location and yet never feels constrained.” – sbs.com.au Aug 7, 2014 Full Review When Animals Dream (2014) 71% 4.5/5 “Director Jonas Alexander Arnby has made another excellent contribution to Denmark's soft parade of horror.” – sbs.com.au Aug 7, 2014 Full Review 14 Blades (2010) 67% “Stylish package has thesps hitting their marks (and each other), but also keeps the human drama from being swamped by wirework and CGI effects.” – Variety Jul 21, 2014 Full Review 47 Ronin (2013) 16% 1/4 “There's clearly been a lot of money spent and a lot of effort (not least by the Japanese actors struggling with their English dialogue), but the results are lacklustre, stupid and that worst of cinematic crimes -- dull.” – sbs.com.au Feb 21, 2014 Full Review
