Mother Fish

While simply told, this beautifully crafted and ambitious film is compelling and deeply affecting.

Centurion

Standing apart from its mindless Hollywood counterparts, this action-adventure is an exciting and smart piece of escapism

South Solitary

While the windswept locations are dramatic and the performances are touching, this simple story is too drawn out to be completely compelling.

Second Hand Wedding

While the premise is silly and the drama often predictable, this succeeds as a feel-good piece of entertainment.

Killers

While aiming to be an action comedy, this truly awful film is devoid of laughs or suspense.

Me And Orson Welles

Driven by charismatic performances, this charming film provides a captivating look into the world of the theatre.

Inception

While its complex narrative is often tough-going, audiences are rewarded with an absolutely gripping ride marked by a top-notch cast and breathtaking visuals.

Tere Bin Laden

While not as controversial as some may assume, this film is largely an engaging and often hilarious satire.

Greenberg

While slightly patchy and too quirky, Ben Stiller is terrific in the lead role and the film is highly watchable, containing a handful of unforgettable moments.

Leaving

Tension-filled thriller driven by complex, ambiguous characters and a gritty stylistic approach.

Skin

While conventionally told, this thought-provoking film features deeply moving performances and compels audiences to consider the issues it raises.

The Runaways

Eschewing the traditional rock biopic format, the film evocatively recreates the era and the pitch-perfect performances capture the high emotions of the time.

The Waiting City

A major achievement which challenges its audience.

Creation

Compelling performances mark this touching film which delves into thought-provoking themes.

Knight & Day

This is blockbuster entertainment at its best.

Predators

With impressive visuals and riveting thrills, the latest addition to the franchise is likely to engage both old fans and new audiences.

The Hedgehog

Despite competent acting and a handful of moving scenes, this arthouse crowd-pleaser ultimately proves underwhelming.

The Horseman

Repulsive and compelling, this intense and impressive revenge tale comes highly recommended for fans of the genre.

I Hate Luv Storys

While the film initially sets out to parody the Bollywood romance, it quickly and disappointingly falls into cliché itself.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

While the third instalment is the most romantically overheated of the franchise so far, director David Slade commendably steps-up the film’s action.
