Pelle the Conqueror (1987) 84% “Without Max Von Sydow's central performance this would be a commendable, if not particularly subtle piece of filmmaking. With it, it's something very special.” – Film4 Feb 27, 2017 Full Review The Devil's Eye (1960) 71% “Further proof that Bergman had a lively sense of humour as well as an unusual ability to plumb the depths of the human psyche.” – Film4 Jul 22, 2013 Full Review Echoes of Home (2007) 73% 4/5 “This film is strange, but all the more rewarding for that. It will change your view of yodeling forever - and for the better.” – Film4 Jul 10, 2009 Full Review Am I Black Enough for You? (2009) 56% 4/5 “A touching story, relatively well told with the bonus of a fine backing track and eloquent interview subjects.” – Film4 Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Shadows in the Sun (2008) 25% 4/5 “A worthy entry on Jean Simmons' impressive CV - and hopefully not the last. Shadows In The Sun might not be Spartacus but it does have a charm of its own.” – Film4 Jun 5, 2009 Full Review Blind Loves (2008) 93% 4.5/5 “A film that is unashamedly sentimental and all the better for it. It's not at all sickly and even quite acerbic at times, but it is sweet.” – Film4 May 22, 2009 Full Review Ikiru (1952) 98% 4/5 “Deeply moving.” – Film4 Apr 27, 2009 Full Review In Prison My Whole Life (2007) 43% 2.5/5 “A worthy film, highlighting what seems to be a rank injustice, but one that is irritating and poorly put together.” – Film4 Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Young at Heart (2007) 90% 4/5 “Moments of high comedy and deep tragedy make this more than the average rehearsal and concert film.” – Film4 Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Afro-Saxons (2008) 56% 3.5/5 “Big hair and bigger egos make for an entertaining and frequently amusing documentary.” – Times (UK) Oct 17, 2008 Full Review All the President's Men (1976) 94% 3.5/5 “A triumph of serious Hollywood filmmaking.” – Film4 Aug 22, 2008 Full Review The Cool School (2008) 92% 3.5/5 “Occasionally too reverent, this remains an effective evocation of a vibrant and interesting art scene, not to mention a touching paean to lost youth.” – Film4 Aug 15, 2008 Full Review Black White & Gray: A Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mapplethorpe (2007) 85% 4/5 “A well made portrait of an intriguing man, presented with a tragic but resounding weight.” – Film4 Aug 15, 2008 Full Review Offside (2006) 94% “Another no-frills success from one of Iran's most accessible directors.” – Film4 Aug 3, 2008 Full Review Starter for 10 (2006) 90% 3.5/5 “Sharp jokes and heady nostalgia ensure it will at least please a wide audience.” – Film4 Jun 25, 2008 Full Review The Devil Came on Horseback (2007) 96% 3/5 “Clumsy filmmaking and political analysis do not detract from the horror of the events the film bears witness too, nor the importance of its message.” – Film4 Apr 11, 2008 Full Review Rebecca (1940) 98% “A real treat. Captivating from its famous opening lines to its pyrotechnic finale, this is one of Hitchcock's finest -- and that's saying something.” – Film4 Feb 19, 2008 Full Review Half Moon (2006) 100% 3/5 “Stylish, but never quite substantial enough, Half Moon never lives up to its stunning opening sequence.” – Film4 Jan 4, 2008 Full Review The Duchess of Langeais (2007) 71% 3.5/5 “A rewarding and cleverly constructed experiment - but not one that is easy to enjoy or warm to. All will agree that it's a fine thing that Rivette should still be pushing the boundaries, few will actually want to watch him doing it.” – Film4 Dec 28, 2007 Full Review Jesus Camp (2006) 89% 4/5 “Flawed editing and intrusive and irritating commentary hardly detract from the shock value of this disturbing documentary. Compulsory viewing for anyone in the least bit concerned about religious extremism.” – Film4 Nov 23, 2007 Full Review I Don't Want to Sleep Alone (2006) 87% 1.5/5 “Directors who come up with films with "sleep" in the title shouldn't be this dull if they don't want glib comments made about them. Yes, I Don't Want To Sleep Alone is a snooze-fest.” – Film4 Nov 15, 2007 Full Review Sicko (2007) 91% 4.5/5 “Michael Moore's best film to date. Entertaining, moving, funny, hard-hitting, right-on. It won't silence his critics, but it will give them something to think about.” – Film4 Oct 26, 2007 Full Review Blame It on Fidel (2006) 93% 3/5 “A smart, amusing take on some serious issues that's fortunate in its excellent young leading lady and its ability to laugh at its own political excesses.” – Film4 Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Manufacturing Dissent (2007) 54% 2/5 “A few serious points against Moore's credibility are overshadowed by a lot of dull posturing, unconvincing argument and unpleasant interviews. It's nothing like as good as the films made by the man it maligns.” – Film4 Oct 5, 2007 Full Review Three... Extremes (2005) 85% “This anthology is a mixed bag.” – Film4 Sep 26, 2007 Full Review
