Andrew L. Urban

"Competently directed by Branagh, the film's stunts, action scenes and thriller elements are executed with flourish and the Moscow sequences are terrific."  

"Beautifully shot by Slawomir Idziak (...) of interest as one of Daniel Craig's early lead roles and it's striking how easily we can now see James Bond in James Lynchehaun (...) Craig is terrific in a flamboyant performance"  

"Hong Kong crime specialist Andy Lau of 'Infernal Affairs' fame, makes his English language directing debut with this solid thriller set in New Mexico"  

"The film's achievement is in transposing the way this relationship develops from page to screen, and maintaining the sense of adventure in parallel with the character development."  

"Full of wonderful comedic business, throw-away lines and some effortless ensemble set pieces, 'The Front Page' bristles with its collection of talents on both sides of the camera"  

"The harshest thing I can say about the film is that it's boring."  

"'Chaos' has all the ingredients for a smart action thriller centred on a bravura bank heist, with a strong cast and excellent images"  

"A weak screenplay with too little tension for drama and too little humour for comedy (...) There is far too much hokum in the first 95% of the film, with scenes that play fake."  

"Deeply moving and searing in its portrayal of the hell these men went through, the film’s visceral power is matched by its craft skills"  

"While Hurley and O’Connor come up with the goods (...) it is very much Fraser who makes this movie work as a rippling comedy."  

"It's short, sharp and to the point, and the careful, measured use of shark footage is exemplary"  

"Critics and audiences have struggled to find the right words to describe the effect Baraka has on them for 16 years; but it seems appropriate to be speechless after seeing this wordless masterpiece of cinema."

"Made with the passion of the committed and the sincerity of the believer, Whaledreamers is both an ecological and a spiritual film, urging us to consider the upside of harmony and the downside of ignorance"

"Tarantino splices together odds and ends to help collate the visual sense of the late 60s, and keeps surprising us with a screenplay as twisting as the Hollywood Hills. Design, music and editing all do Tarantino proud.  

"The film's visual power takes us back to the Middle Ages with unsettling veracity (...) The setting, the images and symbols, the characters and the storytelling all stand out in this potent piece of cinema."  

"'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' remains surprisingly fresh and relevant 40 years on, with Paul Newman's performance every bit as brilliantly effective as it must have felt in 1958"  

"Edited into a cohesive work, the film provides more than a glimpse, less than a complete insight, but it is a fascinating exploration for fans and anyone else interested in the human condition."  

"'Like Crazy' keeps its most powerful moments for the end, when our investment in their stories delivers its payload."  

"It's an appealing premise to have an atheist dad try to come to terms with a son wishing to be a Catholic priest (...) The decision to play it for laughs is a disappointment for those who like their humour dry and their conflicts real."  

"Cinematography, design, costumes, music and editing are all top notch (...) an easily enjoyed adventure"
