Youth In Revolt
While ocasionally a little too clever for its own good, this witty and ambitious comedy comes out on top.
Visioneers
A peculiarly compelling little film which admirably demonstrates restraint and well-paced comedic timing.
Beneath Hill 60
Devoid of overblown heroism and boosted by fine performances, this is a powerfully affecting war tale.
A Prophet
This sprawling ultra-realistic prison drama is a near-masterpiece and further complemented by a clutch of impressive special features.
