Sun Scarred

Sun Scarred review

"Part drama, part subdued revenge, which a big finger pointing at the passive attitude of many instances and people in this film, the film impresses until the very end."

The Parades

1027
The Parades review

"The fantasy-fueled drama offers a warm and endearing premise, but the lovely cinematography combined with some strong performances lift the film."

The Seaside Motel

1028
The Seaside Motel review

"It's definitely not the best entry in the genre, but it's a very welcome addition for those craving fresh meat."

Flowers in the Shadow

1029
Flowers in the Shadow review

"If you liked Always - Sunset On Third Street I'm pretty confident to recommend this film, if not it might be better to catch that film first."

Phobia 2

1030
Phobia 2 review

"Phobia is a good start for people interested in Thai horror, though it does lack the truly gory stuff that resides in many of it's full-length competitors."

The House

1031
The House review

"The House is not the most chilling film ever made, nor the most touching."

Firestorm

1032
Firestorm review

"Yuen clearly saved the best for last here and it paid off. The film has no apparent lows, but it has one sprawling high at the very end which left me quite impressed."

Lars and the Real Girl

1033
Lars and the Real Girl review

"Lars and the Real Girl is rare gem blending dry humor with well-dosed drama and a feel-good vibe. Many people seem to miss the humor but I've been smiling and laughing throughout the whole film."

A Long Walk

1034
A Long Walk review

"That said, the film left me with a very contented and warm feeling."

Snow White: The Sequel

1035
Snow White: The Sequel review

"The film is pretty short and rightfully so. A joke can only be stretched that far, and when you start getting used to the tone of the film the fun slowly fades."

Wheat

1036
Wheat review

"Everyone looking for a more toned-down, stylish yet amusing war film should have a go at it. Remember that the first half our is a bit rough around the edges, things will get only better after that."

I Don't Want To Sleep Alone

1037
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone review

"In the end I Don't Want To Sleep Alone is another typical Tsai film, with some slight experimentations that are in no way big enough to attract new viewers or to push away existing fans."

Basic Love

1038
Basic Love review

"A pretty low profile film that is sure not to reach the West any time soon, but fans of the Pang brothers should do well to seek it out anyway."

Rogue River

1039
Rogue River review

"It's difficult to whole-heartedly recommend this film. As with most pure genre films, the devil is in the details and as far as appreciation goes this is all very personal."

Mum & Dad

1040
Mum & Dad review

"Potential aplenty and if the idea of a mellowed down mix between Calvaire and Martyrs appeals to you this is definitely a film worth watching. "

Lost Highway

1041
Lost Highway review

"Like most of Lynch's films, Lost Highway aged considerably. But while the visuals, the soundtrack and the score failed to impress this time around, the atmosphere has remained pretty much intact."

This Must Be the Place

1042
This Must Be the Place review

"This Must Be The Place is a lovely mix of comedy, absurdity and human drama, featuring a strong lead and a memorable cast of secondary characters."

The Road Less Traveled

1043
The Road Less Traveled review

"While not without faults, The Road Less Traveled is a pretty nice film featuring strong performances and striking visuals."

[Rec] 4: Apocalypse

1044
[Rec] 4: Apocalypse review

"I always assumed Rec 4 was going to be the last film in the series, but Balaguero didn't really wrap things up after all, leaving plenty of room for possible sequels to come."

Angel Whispers

1045
Angel Whispers review

"Even disregarding its origin and its gender breakdown, Angel Whispers is a fun, nasty and gruesome genre film, sporting a fine soundtrack, solid acting and stunning cinematography."

The Trip

1046
The Trip review

"The styling is on point, the actors know what they're doing, and the film gets progressively crazier and dafter. This is everything I want from a good black comedy."

The Unforgiving

1047
The Unforgiving review

"If you're up for a no-bullshit horror/thriller, you can't really go wrong with The Unforgiving."

Murmur of the Hearts

1048
Murmur of the Hearts review

"After its big yet sudden peak in 2011, Taiwanese cinema seems to have subsided again."

Seventh Moon

1049
Seventh Moon review

"It's a shame that Sanchez couldn't get the camera work right, otherwise Seventh Moon could've been a contender of films like [Rec] and Blair Witch."

Leaving Me, Loving You

1050
Leaving Me, Loving You review

"Wonderful cinematography, lush sets and two strong actors make this film. You have to wade through a few mushy parts, mostly in the beginning, after that it's all good."
