Coriolanus (2011) 92% 3/4 EDIT “The play's inherent difficulties notwithstanding, Coriolanus, the movie, is a perfectly sound achievement.” – Toronto Star Jan 8, 2013 Full Review Hysteria (2011) 59% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ostensibly a story about sexual liberation, Hysteria needs a thrill worthy of its intended good vibrations.” – Toronto Star May 24, 2012 Full Review Off World (2010) 2/4 EDIT “Off World is marred by compromises in quality that probably come down to economic constraints, and lock first-time director Mateo Guez into decisions that give his film the odour of desperation.” – Toronto Star Mar 15, 2012 Full Review Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “The withering political pungency, the commentary on terrorism and the searing critique of nationalism and patriotism that made the book a best-seller in the U.K. are replaced by a comforting surface sheen and a lot of unconvincing nonsense...” – Toronto Star Mar 8, 2012 Full Review Let the Bullets Fly (2010) 75% 2/4 EDIT “A ribald mess of a farce whose finer qualities will likely be lost on non-Chinese-speaking audiences and others not familiar with 1920s warlord lore.” – Toronto Star Mar 1, 2012 Full Review The Flowers of War (2011) 41% 2.5/4 EDIT “The director's grip on the drama is often weakened by his penchant for creating spectacles.” – Toronto Star Feb 23, 2012 Full Review The Salesman (2011) 3/4 EDIT “A masterful observation of ordinary people squeezing what they need to get by out of unforgiving circumstances.” – Toronto Star Feb 2, 2012 Full Review Pina (2011) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “We are among these dancers in their pain and joy and longing. We hear them breathe, feel the heat of their skin, smell their sweat, sense the pounding of their hearts, the ache in their thighs and feet.” – Toronto Star Dec 22, 2011 Full Review Surviving Progress (2011) 71% 3.5/4 EDIT “Crucial, captivating and profoundly disturbing...” – Toronto Star Dec 2, 2011 Full Review Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain (2011) 67% 2/4 EDIT “Hart is the comic equivalent of a journeyman musician with a lot of clever licks and one good trick. Once you've seen it, you have little appetite for more.” – Toronto Star Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Down the Road Again (2011) 2.5/4 EDIT “It's a worthy companion piece to its raw and jagged partner, maybe a bit old-fashioned, maybe a bit too sweet, but imbued with wisdom, heart and good intentions.” – Toronto Star Oct 20, 2011 Full Review Revenge of the Electric Car (2011) 69% 2/4 EDIT “Too many important questions are never addressed, or even asked, presumably to protect corporate secrets.” – Toronto Star Oct 13, 2011 Full Review Margaret (2011) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “What it does have going for it is a pre-True Blood Anna Paquin, who burns up the screen with a bravura performance in a complex and discomfiting role.” – Toronto Star Oct 6, 2011 Full Review 1911 (2011) 8% 2/4 EDIT “1911 serves too many masters for its own good.” – Toronto Star Oct 6, 2011 Full Review French Immersion (2011) 40% 1.5/4 EDIT “An embarrassment from beginning to end, a silly, laugh-deprived farce designed to poke fun at an issue - the two solitudes and their language rights - that has as much currency as the length of Farley Mowat's beard.” – Toronto Star Oct 6, 2011 Full Review The Last Circus (2010) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Basque director Álex de la Iglesia's exotic, surreal, hilarious, bloody and utterly explosive grand opus.” – Toronto Star Oct 1, 2011 Full Review Gainsbourg (2011) 73% 3/4 EDIT “While Sfar doesn't dare tinker with the facts or sully the mystique, he gains enormous traction via the imaginative and subversive manner he has devised to tell a story that, in many ways, is hard to believe.” – Toronto Star Sep 15, 2011 Full Review Friends With Benefits (2011) 69% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's one of those rare made-in-Hollywood couplings that transcends the ordinary stuff of movies, like plot and sense and credibility.” – Toronto Star Aug 2, 2011 Full Review Familiar Grounds (2011) 2/4 EDIT “[Its] glacial pace, bloodless performances and minimalist architecture will likely assure it a place in the archives of Forgotten Canadian Cinema.” – Toronto Star Jul 29, 2011 Full Review A Better Life (2011) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Personalizes the illegal immigrant experience and digs much deeper into what has become a national disgrace.” – Toronto Star Jul 15, 2011 Full Review The Tree (2010) 72% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's a small film, almost a parable in its simplicity and predictability, but it gains extra strength from its hybrid industrial origins.” – Toronto Star Jul 8, 2011 Full Review Monte Carlo (2011) 40% 2/4 EDIT “The movie sputs out like fizzled fireworks in the Monte Carlo night.” – Toronto Star Jul 3, 2011 Full Review The Names of Love (2010) 72% 3/4 EDIT “Well worth the effort spent trying to read the white subtitles too often superimposed over a white background.” – Toronto Star Jul 3, 2011 Full Review The Invisible Eye (2010) 2.5/4 EDIT “If this film is remembered at all, it will be for Zylberberg's exceptional character study.” – Toronto Star May 26, 2011 Full Review Something Borrowed (2011) 15% 2/4 EDIT “The big moral issues, the deception and lies? Blown off, like so much sand on the deck. After all, if you're a rich, young, white American, what's a bit of hanky-panky among friends?” – Toronto Star May 6, 2011 Full Review
