2/6	" The problem is that as heist movies go this is about as captivating as watching someone dodge a bus fare. Almost everything about the film is second-rate: the direction, the plotting, the intrusive modernist production design." -- Time Out Posted Nov 28, 2008	Flawless (2007)	55%
5/6	" By the time �The Silence of Lorna� reaches its quiet, unusual, reflective finale, the film feels almost spiritual in its investigation of a lost soul." -- Time Out Posted Nov 28, 2008	Le Silence de Lorna (2008)	80%
4/6	" It�s messy and unusual, not always gratifying, sometimes frustrating, always compelling." -- Time Out Posted Nov 21, 2008	Waltz with Bashir (2008)	93%
3/6	" This solid doc reminds us how unsustainable the current American economy is." -- Time Out Posted Nov 14, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	92%
3/6	" �W.� is neither coruscating nor edifying � but without the benefit of hindsight, it�s probably the best we can hope for." -- Time Out Posted Nov 7, 2008	W. (2008)	57%
5/6	" And, by being so personal in a way that�s so honest and so incisive, Davies indirectly offers national commentary that�s relevant far, far beyond his old Merseyside doorstep" -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2008	Of Time and the City (2008)	83%
5/6	" Imagine how most filmmakers would tell this story and then see �Hunger�: the differences are bold and powerful and restore faith in cinema�s ability to cover history free from the bounds of texts and personalities." -- Time Out Posted Oct 30, 2008	Hunger (2008)	92%
4/6	" A thoughtful portrait of the purgatory of grief that prefers small incidences and exchanges over grand gestures of sentiment and revelation. It�s sad � but never cloying." -- Time Out Posted Oct 24, 2008	Quiet Chaos (2008)	85%
2/6	" It ends up being a compendium of bizarre diversions, most of which are utterly surplus to the film�s half-cocked desire to stick with the experience and emotions of its main character." -- Time Out Posted Oct 24, 2008	Incendiary (2008)	26%
4/6	" This slick, serious-minded tale of upper-crust vigilantes protecting their gated community at any cost is a nihilistic but thoughtful portrait of a country divided ." -- Time Out Posted Oct 17, 2008	La Zona (2007)	78%
5/6	" A focused, multi-stranded drama about how ordinary lives and ambitions are impinged upon in a society where the parameters of business, justice and everyday life are heavily defined and warped by the influence of organised crime." -- Time Out Posted Oct 10, 2008	Gomorrah (2009)	95%
4/6	" Mostly, though, Hogg displays a welcome desire to draw on global film influences and ignore the unwritten rules of what British cinema should or should not seek to achieve, especially in the realm of films about the monied and unsympathetic." -- Time Out Posted Sep 19, 2008	Unrelated (2008)	85%
5/6	" He�s also helped enormously by a mature, restrained portrayal from Knightley, a masterclass in passive aggression from Fiennes and a performance of tender seduction from Atwell." -- Time Out Posted Sep 5, 2008	The Duchess (2008)	61%
3/6	" There are some laughs � but the jokes don�t come thick and fast. The film�s portrayal of friendship is always warm and sensitive." -- Time Out Posted Aug 22, 2008	Somers Town (2008)	88%
2/6	" This celebration of mid-Atlantic compromise is one for the youngest and most forgiving of teenage girls." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	Wild Child (2009)	32%
2/6	" A frustrating, oblique and portentous endurance test." -- Time Out Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Banishment (2007)	56%
2/6	" All in all, it�s a bit of a snore that falls back on romance when all else fails." -- Time Out Posted Aug 8, 2008	Death Defying Acts (2008)	44%
3/5	" Offers mild, easy pleasures, even if it stalks emotional truths rather than pierces them." -- Time Out Posted Jun 5, 2008	The Waiting Room (2007)	n/a
5/6	" Slowly, surely this composite portrait of Chet then and now (or in 1987, when Weber shot the film) reveals its own depths." -- Time Out Posted Jun 5, 2008	Let's Get Lost (1988)	96%
4/6	" A delightful, curious film that indulges in both the personal and the political and provides a potted history of modern Iran through one woman�s experience." -- Time Out Posted Apr 25, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	96%
5/6	" It�s a funny film � a surprise perhaps after �Vera Drake� � and, crucially, it aches with truth." -- Time Out Posted Apr 18, 2008	Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)	94%
4/6	" You won�t know whether to laugh or cry." -- Time Out Posted Mar 27, 2008	You, The Living (2007)	100%
3/6	" Too long, not nearly as funny as it hopes, and some plot elements (what�s with the sheep?) are extraneous to the improvised mood." -- Time Out Posted Mar 14, 2008	Mister Lonely (2008)	44%
4/6	" Languid, sorrowful and strange, French filmmaker C�line Sciamma�s debut as a feature writer-director is a sensitive and daring portrait of female adolescence that�s curious about all longings, sexual confusions and grey areas of desire." -- Time Out Posted Mar 14, 2008	Water Lilies (2007)	79%
2/6	" Why in the name of ermine boleros would anyone make such a dull, coy and, worst of all, pretty film about Anne Boleyn?" -- Time Out Posted Mar 7, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
3/6	" Baumbach�s interest in families � a distinct Baumbachian sort of family � is acute and his observations often painful and delivered with a dry wit." -- Time Out Posted Feb 28, 2008	Margot at the Wedding (2007)	51%
3/6	" This is grand-scale studio-work at its most beguiling." -- Time Out Posted Jan 24, 2008	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
4/6	" There�s something Styxian about the road travelled here that�s reinforced with imagery of death that elevates Ghobadi�s tale above the everyday." -- Time Out Posted Jan 4, 2008	Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007)	100%
3/6	" A build-up of secrecy and anxiety are well-served by Van Sant�s chopped-up narrative of the slow reveal, and again the director shows a keen eye for the rituals and worries of teenage life." -- Time Out Posted Dec 28, 2007	Paranoid Park (2008)	74%
3/6	" No laughs � but still plenty to like in this diverting and insightful thriller that plays out in the higher echelons of the French judiciary and Parisian world of high business." -- Time Out Posted Dec 13, 2007	Comedy of Power (2005)	80%
3/6	" Ample music � Oasis, of course � and sweeping crane-shots over miserable two-up-two-downs plead for cinematic and social relevance but, really, this is what it is: an hour-and-a-half spent willingly at the side of a fascinating fella." -- Time Out Posted Dec 7, 2007	A Very British Gangster (2006)	n/a
5/6	" One of the most shocking, unexpected and daring finales in a long while." -- Time Out Posted Dec 7, 2007	Silent Night (2006)	91%
2/6	" Clumsily shoehorns every hot topic under the sun into a digitally shot drama of high aims, middling production values and low intelligence." -- Time Out Posted Nov 29, 2007	Infinite Justice (2006)	43%
2/6	" It�s the sort of glamour-meets-violence drugs-crime story on which lads� mags thrive: unqualified, over-reverent and hysterical." -- Time Out Posted Nov 22, 2007	Cocaine Cowboys (2006)	69%
3/6	" For all Anderson�s pleasing, refreshing auteur tendencies, the overwhelming feeling delivered by �The Darjeeling Limited� is of frustration, d�j� vu and little progression." -- Time Out Posted Nov 21, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	66%
	" Sokurov applies a thoughtful, humanist spin to the Chechen war � or any war � in this quiet mediation." -- Time Out Posted Nov 17, 2007	Alexandra (2008)	94%
4/6	" David Sington more than makes up for the straightforward nature of his film with the quality of its interviews and plenitude of staggering archive footage." -- Time Out Posted Nov 1, 2007	In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)	94%
	" The filmmakers must have imagined sparky, engaging conversation between these duos similar to a high-speed tennis bout between skillful pros; what emerges is more comparable to a lazy afternoon table-tennis knockabout in an old people�s home." -- Time Out Posted Oct 23, 2007	Lions for Lambs (2007)	28%
	" This exploration of grief in contemporary South Korea plods along adequately and intelligently." -- Time Out Posted Oct 20, 2007	Secret Sunshine ()	92%
4/6	" The occasional voiceover from B�art and a slightly mournful score from Philippe Sarde offer some sense of lament, but mostly this unfolds in the moment and is urgent and engaging." -- Time Out Posted Oct 19, 2007	Witnesses (2003)	90%
	" Themes of altruism and selfishness colour the harrowing realism; the camerawork is skilful, with many scenes unfolding in one, locked frame; and the performances are superb." -- Time Out Posted Oct 13, 2007	4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2008)	97%
4/6	" Seidl�s canny mix of professional and non-professional actors delivers a series of performances, major and minor, of genuinely heart-tugging truth and heartening humanity." -- Time Out Posted Oct 13, 2007	Import/Export (2007)	78%
5/6	" An extraordinary puzzle of a biography that's ripe to be decoded." -- Time Out Posted Oct 11, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	" That [director] Schroeder doesn't offer simple explanations gives his tale honesty and fascination." -- Time Out Posted Oct 11, 2007	Terror's Advocate (2007)	84%

5/6	" Stefan Ruzowitzky�s meshing of plot with debate is impressive. His film is compelling and clever." -- Time Out Posted Oct 10, 2007	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
	" A claustrophobic and imaginative treat." -- Time Out Posted Oct 6, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
4/6	" Some of the accusations in this documentary by a pair of Canadian filmmakers who initially set out to make a positive portrait, will make your eyes water." -- Time Out Posted Oct 5, 2007	Manufacturing Dissent (2007)	52%
1/6	" A terrifically stupid film. Dumb, dumb, dumb." -- Time Out Posted Oct 5, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	52%
	" It�s certainly a moving film, and many will find its close examination of a father-son relationship particularly cathartic and reflective." -- Time Out Posted Oct 5, 2007	When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)	70%
