  1. 3.8 out of five for The Maid

    Interesting slice-of-life about a middle-aged maid. Looks very simple but feels complex and engaging. reviewed on yesterday from Frances (1557555675)
  2. 4.5 out of five for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

    Story gets re-jiggled to fit the film, but it's amazing to look at and great, nerdy, fun. I <3 SP. reviewed on Aug 26th from Frances (1529540567)
  3. 4.0 out of five for Mother

    Korean films are never cheery. This one isn't either. It's got a good sense of humour though, even if it is dark. reviewed on Aug 23rd from Frances (1517688673)
  4. 4.3 out of five for The Illusionist

    Sad little story. Brilliant animation. Plenty to love. reviewed on Aug 23rd from Frances (1517686344)
  5. 3.9 out of five for Down Terrace

    Darkly funny British black-comedy. Very enjoyable. reviewed on Aug 10th from Frances (1465198329)
  6. 3.5 out of five for Splice

    Pretty decent. Great special effects and quite compelling. Not 100% sure I loved the ending. reviewed on Jul 27th from Frances (1408404588)
  7. 3.9 out of five for Inception

    Looks beautiful, great idea, super cast. Really liked it. A few rubbish conveniences, but otherwise an insta-classic. reviewed on Jul 13th from Frances (1349500072)
  8. 2.0 out of five for Rec

    3.5 A good second part to the first film. Doesn't mess about and gets on with the action, but the occult stuff gets a bit silly. reviewed on May 27th from Frances (1175541724)
  9. 3.9 out of five for The Bad Lieutenant

    Feels way too long, but love it's sense of humour and genuinely surreal moments. reviewed on May 27th from Frances (1175539765)
  10. 2.8 out of five for The White Ribbon

    Looks nice and it's technically fine, but it's just boring and rather dry. reviewed on May 26th from Frances (1171353279)
  11. 3.0 out of five for Four Lions

    Not as funny or clever as I was expecting. Disappointing. Watchable enough, though. reviewed on May 16th from Frances (1136069690)
  12. 3.9 out of five for Dogtooth

    Odd, often very funny, film about a dark situation. Mostly made up of unanswered questions, but very engaging. reviewed on Apr 26th from Frances (1071514541)
  13. 2.2 out of five for Double Take

    Pretty dull. Some interesting old clips & liked the commercials, but didn't really go anywhere. reviewed on Apr 26th from Frances (1071512037)
  14. 2.9 out of five for This Is Love

    Stunning acting thru-out, but as pretentious as they come & seems designed to make film critics pee themselves with delight. reviewed on Apr 11th from Frances (1022177997)
  15. 3.9 out of five for Kick Ass

    Genuinely funny & original. Acting good through-out and probably an insta-classic. reviewed on Mar 27th from Frances (972577455)
  16. 3.2 out of five for Perrier's Bounty

    Needed a few more witty lines, but ace cast and decent story. reviewed on Mar 27th from Frances (972574821)
  17. 3.4 out of five for Shutter Island

    Great music and style. Slightly cliched, but quite gripping. reviewed on Mar 27th from Frances (972572817)
  18. 3.8 out of five for Ponyo

    Very cute, childish film. Can't fail to be cheered by it. reviewed on Mar 27th from Frances (972570712)
  19. 3.9 out of five for Alice In Wonderland

    A bit scattered, but a fun and quirky revisiting of my favourite story. reviewed on Mar 11th from Frances (918797958)
  20. 2.9 out of five for The Crazies

    Great concept but a bit all over the place. Didn't really meet up to the trailer-lead expectations. reviewed on Feb 28th from Frances (881501285)
