T-METER

3.5/5
 
"This is an uneven directorial debut -- but not an unaccomplished one. Oliver is a name to look out for -- it would be great to see what would happen if he worked with someone else's script." -- Eye for Film

3/5
 
"You'll certainly be rooting for Beto and his brood by the time the Popemobile rolls into town." -- Eye for Film

The Pope's Toilet (2007)83%
/
4/5
 
"Although this film has got a very serious point to make, Hana Makhalbaf has an enviable lightness of touch and always remembers to keep the story front and centre." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 26, 2008
 
Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame (2007)89%
/
2.5/5
 
"The term 'gentle' is too harsh a word to describe the pace of this tale which is so slow in places it's a wonder moss isn't growing on it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 26, 2008
 
The Fox & the Child (2008)47%
/
4/5
 
"Not long into this documentary, you begin to think in double punctuation marks, namely ?!" -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 16, 2008
 
The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins (2008)n/a
/
4/5
 
"The genre-bending antics may not be everyone's cup of tea but there's no doubting his [Christoffer Boe's] innovation." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
Allegro (2005)n/a
/
3/5
 
"Although this is a bit of a meander in places, it is always a pleasant one and shows plenty of directorial promise." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jul 12, 2008
 
Love and Other Crimes (2008)n/a
/
3/5
 
"Much of the story is smoke and mirrors in terms of fact, but this is pitched more at romance fans than Houdini addicts." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 30, 2008
 
Death Defying Acts (2008)46%
/
3/5
 
"Everything about this film is rough and ready...but fans of Gorillaz will doubtless enjoy its edge." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 18, 2008
 
Bananaz (2008)n/a
/
4/5
 
"In essence, the story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, the resilience and commitment of a few to help the many and a triumph of hope in adversity." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 17, 2008
 
Angels in the Dust (2007)82%
/
4.5/5
 
"A staggering and petrifying insight into the very real dangers faced by Al-Daradji and his crew." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
War, Love, God & Madness (2008)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
"It is frequently not what you see but what you hear which holds the horror." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
Let the Right One In (2008)100%
/
3.5/5
 
"A tense exploration of relationships and human frailty, helped enormously by Beatrice Thiriet's wonderfully evocative score." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
La Fille de Son Père (2001)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Aside from a slight flabbiness ... Kechiche is to be praised for exploring the nature of change on a personal and a community level -- and packing the result with some emotional wallop." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 16, 2008
 
La Graine et le Mulet (2007)100%
/
3/5
 
"The sheer predictability of the plot means it doesn't really stand up to the scrutiny of anyone older than 15." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 15, 2008
 
13 Going on 30 (2004)64%
/
1/5
 
"There are hints of a plot line, but everything is racing along at such a pace - only lit by the flash of muzzles - that it is difficult to spot it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 15, 2008
 
Yesterday (2002)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"A look at the commonest fear nipping at the heart of Middle America. Not the war in Iraq, nor terrorism, but the breakdown of the family unit and how - and if - people can cope with it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Weather Man (2005)58%
/
1.5/5
 
"It is as though the cast and scriptwriters are constantly nodding to one another and admiring their own cleverness." -- Eye for Film

War, Inc. (2008)31%
/
3.5/5
 
"What really holds the attention in this playful comedy are the central perfomances." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Wackness (2008)62%
/
3.5/5
 
"Guzzanti's arguments are coherent, although, they will doubtless play best to those with at least some knowledge of Italian politics." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Viva Zapatero! (2005)83%
/
4/5
 
"Chang's sensitive observational style allows the contrast between the unreality of the ship and the crushing hardship of the lives of Yu Shui's family to develop naturally" -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Up The Yangtze (2008)95%
/
4/5
 
"An ambitious premise that only just falls short of genius." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Up and Down (2005)84%
/
3/5
 
"Whether the story is true or not does have a bearing on how good you think it is." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Unknown White Male (2005)73%
/
4/5
 
"There is violence -- the gritty, bloody kind, not the balletic jumping off walls variety -- but it is kept firmly in its place and never allowed to take over." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Twilight Samurai (2004)98%
/
4/5
 
"Tuya is joins the ranks of other strong, female characters created by Chinese directors and writers, in this case battling against the odds to keep her family together." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Tuya's Marriage (2008)88%
/
4.5/5
 
"Domestic abuse has been portrayed on film before but never with this much complexity." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Take My Eyes (2006)91%
/
3.5/5
 
"Oliver and director of photography Tristan Whitman have created an excellent look, using a bleached-out colour palette to good advantage." -- Eye for Film

3/5
 
"Simultaneously comical and unsettling." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Nubes De Verano (2004)n/a
/
4/5
 
"By contrasting the upbeat tempo and message with images of the squalor many Nigerians face, despite living in oil-rich towns, Ollman paints a bleak picture of corruption breeding corruption." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Suffering & Smiling (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Energetic, immediate and defiantly hopeful." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Strangers (2008)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"The film moves along at a crackling pace and the action shifts slickly from gathering menace to outrageous violence without missing a beat." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Storm Warning (2007)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"As much an exploration of emotional and cultural problems in modern day China, as it is the tale of one man's lost love." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Still Life (2008)91%
/
3/5
 
"The impressive framing and gorgeous washed-out look does not extend to the script of what is, ultimately, a rather pedestrian film noir." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
La Señal (2007)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
"It is a feather in ITV's cap that it was prepared to invest in such a fascinating and thought-provoking script, while managing to keep cliche under wraps." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Second Coming (2003)n/a
/
2/5
 
"Where we should be caught up in the emotion of a man staring death in the face, we are marvelling at the clunky switch from Seventies crime thriller to run-of-the-mill prison melodrama." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Salvador (2006)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Although Ruba Nadda is dealing with a serious subject, she has a lightness of touch which stops this film from slumping into depression." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Sabah - A Love Story (2005)n/a
/
4.5/5
 
"Builds up an emotional head of steam that draws audiences towards it." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Romulus, My Father (2008)44%
/
3/5
 
"This gentle tale of love in the face of the threat of war could do with a bit of rocket propulsion itself." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Rocket Post (2006)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"Given the limitations placed on directors by silent movies, Hitchcock achieves an enviable amount of nuance." -- Eye for Film

The Ring (1927)n/a

Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006)79%
/
3/5
 
"This is a study in solitude and to say the film is subtle is an understatement." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Rewind (2003)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"Niles and White capture the fear in the faces of the band members - but also their energetic fortitude and willingness to move on from their past suffering." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Sierra Leone's Refugee all Stars ()n/a
/
4/5
 
"Another excellently shot and alarming document of troubled times in Africa." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
The Other Side of the Country ()n/a
/
3.5/5
 
"Touches of magic realism indicate we are in an ideal world where love will, if not conquer everything, then pretty much hug it into submission." -- Eye for Film
Posted Jun 14, 2008
 
Nina's Heavenly Delights (2007)6%
/
3/5
 
"The acting is pretty faultless across the board, particularly from Judith Diakhate, who captures confused hysterics perfectly." -- Eye for Film

Madeinusa (2006)80%
/

Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
One Man Up (2002)n/a
/
3.5/5
