Who Killed the KLF? (2021) 100% EDIT “... It is entertaining and fun and understands that myth is just as important to the KLF story as hard facts.” – The Times (UK) Jul 8, 2022 Full Review The Messenger (2009) 90% 3/5 EDIT “A worthy addition to the canon of Iraq war films, The Messenger has a gentle humanity that creeps under your skin.” – Empire Magazine Jun 13, 2011 Full Review Norwegian Wood (2010) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Murakami's 'unadaptability' for the screen is self-evident to fans of his books, but this is a noble if bleak first stab.” – Empire Magazine Mar 7, 2011 Full Review Biutiful (2010) 66% 4/5 EDIT “Irritu has made a modern classical tragedy and, in Javier Bardem, he has found his first authentic hero; a character caught up in an intricate web of events he cannot extricate himself from.” – Empire Magazine Jan 26, 2011 Full Review Charlie St. Cloud (2010) 27% 3/5 EDIT “An adaptation that smooths out the sharp edges of Ben Sherwood's source novel, it's a decent enough vehicle to flaunt Efron's acting chops.” – Empire Magazine Oct 6, 2010 Full Review Enter the Void (2009) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Painting from a typical kaleidoscopic canvas Noé crafts a brain-bendingly metaphysical trip that definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea.” – Empire Magazine Sep 22, 2010 Full Review Gainsbourg (2011) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Eric Elmosnino is terrific as the louche French icon in Joann Sfar's vivid biopic. Shame about that second hour.” – Empire Magazine Jul 30, 2010 Full Review Greenberg (2010) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Like a lot of human relationships Greenberg is complicated, infuriating, good-hearted, funny, often painful, and well worth the effort. A sad little movie but also a great one, lit by two astonishing central performances.” – Empire Magazine Jun 8, 2010 Full Review The Killer Inside Me (2010) 56% 4/5 EDIT “As darkly disturbing as Jim Thompson's novel, this is a genuinely upsetting film that might also be Winterbottom's best. Not for everyone, but near-faultless all the same.” – Empire Magazine Jun 2, 2010 Full Review Life During Wartime (2009) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Possibly a brave and interesting triumph for its director, but definitely a cold-eyed heartless bore for his audience.” – Empire Magazine Apr 22, 2010 Full Review Youth in Revolt (2009) 66% 4/5 EDIT “It's chaotic and episodic, but this is Cera's star turn. Superbad meets Fight Club? That'll do it.” – Empire Magazine Feb 5, 2010 Full Review A Prophet (2009) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A modern French crime epic where the smudges and crossings out do not diminish the passages of great dreamlike power.” – Empire Magazine Jan 22, 2010 Full Review The Limits of Control (2009) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Cool, handsome, self-assured... but, as the existentialists might say, what's the bloody point?” – Empire Magazine Dec 11, 2009 Full Review Synecdoche, New York (2008) 69% 5/5 EDIT “Astonishing. Kaufman has surpassed himself with a film that will delight and confound. You will want to see it again. And again.” – Empire Magazine May 15, 2009 Full Review American Teen (2008) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Despite its flashy approach, American Teen remains emotionally involving because of the lives on show. You will care about these people, even if you suspect the director doesn't.” – Empire Magazine Mar 6, 2009 Full Review Che: Part Two (2008) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Like Guevara's slog through the Bolivian undergrowth, Che Part Two is a hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, defined by a performance of great presence.” – Empire Magazine Feb 19, 2009 Full Review Che: Part One (2008) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Part One of Soderbergh's Che epic dismantles the clichés and myths to craft a dream-like if frustrating essay on the heroism and the claustrophobia of war, perfectly centred by a compelling star performance.” – Empire Magazine Jan 5, 2009 Full Review What Just Happened? (2008) 49% 3/5 EDIT “A playful industry satire made by victors. That's actually pretty cold when you think about it.” – Empire Magazine Nov 28, 2008 Full Review Juno (2007) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A sharp-edged, sweet-centred, warm-hearted coming-of-age movie that's always just that little bit smarter than you think it is.” – Empire Magazine Feb 8, 2008 Full Review The Savages (2007) 89% 4/5 EDIT “A richly nuanced American comedy, with two acting talents working at their absolute peak.” – Empire Magazine Jan 24, 2008 Full Review Mr. Brooks (2007) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Although flawed, this remains a blackly funny noir treat thanks to Costner and Hurt's double-act.” – Empire Magazine Oct 10, 2007 Full Review
