Tsotsi (2005) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Chweneyagae skulks with awesome menace, a cauldron of simmering rage and frustration and a performance of real skill, carrying the film effortlessly through to the nail-shredding conclusion.” – BBC.com Mar 11, 2006 Full Review L'Enfant (2005) 84% 4/5 EDIT “With Belgian auteurs the Dardenne brothers behind the camera, there are deeper levels to explore in another stark but gripping construction of social realism.” – BBC.com Feb 22, 2006 Full Review The Forest for the Trees (2003) 79% 4/5 EDIT “For a first film, it's accomplished; for a college project, it's astonishing.” – BBC.com Feb 14, 2006 Full Review 13 Tzameti (2005) 83% 4/5 EDIT “A thriller of starkly economic proportions.” – BBC.com Jan 14, 2006 Full Review Grizzly Man (2005) 93% 5/5 EDIT “German auteur Werner Herzog pieces together the remarkable footage Treadwell left behind into a superb portrait of a fractured obsessive living literally on the edge.” – BBC.com Dec 20, 2005 Full Review Live and Become (2005) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Emotive and politically astute.” – BBC.com Dec 20, 2005 Full Review Separate Lies (2005) 72% 3/5 EDIT “A solidly made but strangely lightweight drama.” – BBC.com Nov 1, 2005 Full Review The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2005) 42% 1/5 EDIT “One for fans only.” – BBC.com Nov 1, 2005 Full Review 4 (Chetyre) (2006) 75% 3/5 EDIT “Haunting.” – BBC.com Oct 22, 2005 Full Review The Brothers Grimm (2005) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Perfect material, you might think, for Terry Gilliam's brain of perpetual invention. But despite occasional flashes of dark genius, he hasn't laid a golden egg.” – BBC.com Oct 11, 2005 Full Review Saraband (2003) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Even if it is, as he claims, his last film, Saraband will be a testament to Bergman's skill as a filmmaker, still a creative force to be reckoned with after 60-plus years in the business.” – BBC.com Oct 8, 2005 Full Review R-Point (2004) 50% 3/5 EDIT “By the time the grand finale rolls around, you're more baffled than terrified.” – BBC.com Sep 18, 2005 Full Review The Sun (2005) 92% 3/5 EDIT “The measured direction can feel sluggish as the camera refuses to cut away from lengthy scenes of people getting dressed or filing out of rooms, but Ogata's multi-layered performance more than compensates.” – BBC.com Sep 10, 2005 Full Review Beautiful Boxer (2004) 85% 3/5 EDIT “An inspiring drama which, despite its uneven nature, still manages to pack a punch.” – BBC.com Aug 9, 2005 Full Review Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of RomĂ©o Dallaire (2004) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A tragic reminder of how that overused epithet, 'Never again', makes hypocrites of us all.” – BBC.com Aug 9, 2005 Full Review 3-Iron (2004) 87% 3/5 EDIT “If the snail's pace doesn't send you to sleep, you'll be rewarded with a tender and unusual love story.” – BBC.com Jul 12, 2005 Full Review Undertow (2004) 56% 3/5 EDIT “A front-loaded film, sure, but what a front.” – BBC.com Jun 21, 2005 Full Review MoolaadĂ© (2004) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Sembene provides not only a fascinating glimpse into the culture of tropical Africa, but also a powerful account of the social turmoil which bubbles beneath the surface.” – BBC.com May 31, 2005 Full Review eXistenZ (1999) 77% 3/5 EDIT “In the hands of anyone else, the notion of computer game terrorists would be ludicrous, and even Cronenberg fails to explain their motives, using the film instead to indulge in surreal exercises of dream logic.” – BBC.com Dec 3, 2001 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Slow and uninspired.” – BBC.com Sep 26, 2001 Full Review
