4/5
“A movie that just has such a good mood, enough to make it feel like one would have to be a real grouch not to laugh along with its ongoing rush of surreal gags, its flair for stagey artifice, its constant mugging.” –

“The prequel to one of the most aesthetically barren major films of the last ten years was always going to have a pretty hard time being anything but aesthetically barren in its own right.” –

Ticket of No Return (1979)
4/5
“It isn't really about characterization, so much as about Berlin as an aesthetic experience and a drunken bender as a mood rather than a physical event.” –

“A great piece of alchemy, in which everything we learn makes the film much sadder than it seemed when it was a jumpy horror film, but also in a way much more horrific.” –

3/5
“Barbarella is a weird missive from the deep dark depths of the '60s era, with a villain that amounts to a villainous, evil-eating lava lamp, and the inside of a spaceship in which literally every single surface is covered in brown shag. ” –
