No Way Back (1949) 3/5 “To modern eyes the performances may seem stilted, but there is an interesting use of photographs of Johnny in his prime, a repeated visual reminder of the man he once was.” – Radio Times Apr 17, 2025 Full Review La Cocina (2024) 75% 4/5 “The film powerfully illustrates how contemporary capitalism dehumanises and exploits immigrant workers, wrecking their belief in the American Dream.” – Radio Times Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Last Swim (2024) 100% 4/5 “Best of all is Hekmat, who crafts an impressive, persuasive character study of an ambitious young woman negotiating her British and Iranian identities, while being forced to confront her own mortality.” – Radio Times Apr 12, 2025 Full Review Four Mothers (2024) 89% 4/5 “Four Mothers features a fine ensemble that expertly brings out its characters' different personalities, beliefs and life experiences.” – Radio Times Apr 12, 2025 Full Review When Fall Is Coming (2024) 95% 4/5 “In a strong ensemble cast, Vincent gives a superb performance, imbuing her octogenarian protagonist with a refreshing complexity.” – Radio Times Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Brief History of a Family (2024) 92% 4/5 “This scrupulously controlled and impressively acted debut feature from Chinese film-maker Lin Jianjie peers beneath the façade of an affluent middle-class family, which has abided by the country's one-child policy.” – Radio Times Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 90% 3/5 “There's a cinematic confidence to the way Andrews captures this brutal, male-dominated world, and he elicits vivid performances from the ensemble cast.” – Radio Times Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Home (2008) 93% 4/5 “Meier handles the tone-shifts with admirable assurance in this sweepingly shot fable.” – Total Film Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974) 80% 4/5 “A deeply whimsical tribute to the pleasures and powers of child-like imagination, Celine and Julie becomes a playful inquiry into filmwatching, with our heroines endlessly conjuring up and heading off into unexpected fictions. ” – BBC.com Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% 3/5 “Noisy popcorn fun enough, but if size does matter this ultimately comes up short.” – Birmingham Post Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Pandora's Box (1929) 93% 3/5 “Pandora's Box is a richly atmospheric work, and Pabst is equally at home in Berlin high society or in London's impoverished East End, where Lulu encounters Jack the Ripper.” – BBC.com Jun 16, 2020 Full Review Battle in Heaven (2005) 51% 4/5 “A simultaneously austere and visceral work, one steeped in mystery and longing.” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Goal! The Dream Begins (2005) 43% 2/5 “Of the actors, it's Alessandro Nivola in the role of a playboy midfielder who provides Goal!'s most entertaining performance. It's a pity then that the world he inhabits in the film is depicted in such cartoonish terms.” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Moolaadé (2004) 99% 4/5 “Mooladé is a masterful work, which eloquently conveys the central conflict between tradition and modernity in our global economy.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Czech Dream (2004) 79% 4/5 “Czech Dream is much more than a sophisticated stunt. As the filmmakers lay bare the process of advertising. we become aware of the comprehensive strategies by which we as consumers are targeted.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) 82% 4/5 “Fittingly for a film with such an all-inclusive title, July finds something wondrous in peoples' interactions in everyday life.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review The Eclipse (1962) 87% 4/5 “The plot is minimal: what's remarkable here is how the formalist Antonioni creates and maintains the atmosphere of alienation, finding visual correlatives for his characters' psychological states.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Café Lumière (2003) 91% 4/5 “There are conscious echoes here of Tokyo Story, yet this is very much Hsiao-Hsien's vision of what it's like to be young and adrift in a contemporary metropolis.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Lizard (2004) 100% 3/5 “Beneath the slapstick and one-liners lies an undeniably moral film, which preaches a comforting message of divine forgiveness.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review 4/5 “Driven along by a dynamic original score, and boasting some striking widescreen compositions, it's another impressive feat of multi-stranded cinematic storytelling from Reitz.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review El perro (2004) 83% 3/5 “Thanks in part to the impressively dignified performance of the non-professional Villegas and to some accomplished landscape cinematography, this serves as an amiable tribute to Patagonia itself and the resilience of its inhabitants.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review The Bridesmaid (2004) 93% 3/5 “Locating his story in a recognizably everyday world, Chabrol maintains a quietly menacing atmosphere in which dark undercurrents such as the disappearance of a young girl lurk beneath a facade of normality [and] respectability.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Private (2004) 82% 4/5 “Shooting with hand-held digital video cameras, Costanzo achieves a powerful immediacy, particularly when conveying the chaos and terror of the nighttime raids endured by the family.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Ma Mère (2004) 16% 4/5 “The cast deliver brave, accomplished performances, with Huppert's Héléne a compelling mixture of menace and fragility.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review The Keys to the House (2004) 77% 3/5 “[Andrea Rossi] conveys the joyful, charming and sometimes exasperating sides of his vibrant character.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review
