| mother! | "If you gave an extremely bright fifteen-year-old a bag of unfamiliar herbs to smoke, and forty million dollars or so to play with, "Mother!" would be the result."

| First They Killed My Father | "The Khmer Rouge's repressions and exactions are depicted fearsomely, but many of Jolie's images are postcard-pretty, and their emotional range depends mainly upon the child actors' tremulous and steadfast expressions."

| The Firemen's Ball | "In 1967, the year before Soviet tanks rampaged through Czechoslovakia, the Czech director Milos Forman subtly, scathingly used the premise of a quaint provincial party to mock the Party."

| Cockfighter | "Hellman embraces, with visual nuance, a world of back roads and forests, grim motels and ramshackle arenas, and he approaches the intricacies of the subculture ... with a cool Hemingwayesque moralism."

| Brad's Status | "The story is told from Brad's point of view, and the movie is filled with his voice-over musings, fantasy sequences, and flashbacks, but it remains oddly impersonal."

| Kill, Baby, Kill (Operazione paura) (Curse of the Living Dead) (Don't Walk in the Park) | "a story of collective guilt & implacable vindictiveness, as the past keeps returning to prey vampirically on the present - but also a story that travels through darkness to the dawn, ushering in a new epoch, exorcised of all diabolical vestiges."

| 2.5/5 | Kuso | "Loud, objectionable, occasionally funny but mostly trying, the visual experimentation and adherence to all things ugly quickly grows tiresome."

| Mountain | "Sublime, cerebral, poetic and musically evocative, Mountain takes us - it seems - to every mountain in the world in what appears to be a floating armchair, sometimes high above the peaks."

| Mountain | "The combination of the visual spectacle of the world's highest peaks and the musical magic of the Australian Chamber Orchestra makes Jennifer Peedom's documentary Mountain an immersive, meditative and mesmerising experience."

| The Endless | "Imaginative, enthralling, astute with its aesthetics and atmosphere, and insightful in contemplating both human and supernatural drama."

| Rat Film | "Plenty of other animals have clucked, purred, barked, splashed and scurried their way through cute critter-focused documentaries, but not in this fashion. "

| Faces Places (Visages, villages) | "Love, life, creativity, connection, accepting others and acknowledging that nothing is permanent are all a part of this charming documentary."

| Bright Sunshine In (Un beau soleil intérieur) | "A smart, spirited and soulful exploration of affection and intimacy - as driven by Binoche's enigmatic candour - that cuts deep."

| Loveless (Nelyubov) | "There's no one like Zvyagintsev at taking an already tense and heartbreaking situation into formally composed, emotionally brutal, absolutely astonishing territory."

| Lucky | "The landscape of Stanton's face pairs perfectly with the arid dessert surroundings, while his specific brand of cantankerous charm finds its match in Lynch."

| Nocturama | "Mesmerising and provocative... with a simply stunning command of his visceral visuals and unnerving mood."
