Bradford International Film Festival — A–Z of films

A hilarious screwball comedy

It's a slick and intoxicating vision to say the least.

Days of Glory is a great film, thoroughly deserving of the award attention that it has received.

Despite all the blood on screen, Fast Food Nation is a strangely anaemic movie.

The UN describes Haiti as the most dangerous place on earth and this haunting documentary shows us why.

Half Nelson is a believeable film, depressing at times but smart and moving.

This is a long, slow and supremely well-written film.

Richly atmospheric and often deeply disturbing, Jindabyne is a superb example of well-crafted drama, cinema taking on real issues without ever losing its narrative edge.

A shallow portrayal.

A chilling, but ultimately uplifting glimpse into the lives of those trapped within the repressive regime of East Germany.

Los Muertos has a certain cold beauty.

It's not so much kitchen sink, as tenement trauma.

Both Catherine Frot and Deborah Francois deliver excellent performances... the tension between the two visibly crackles.

It is like nibbling for nearly two hours in the kitchens of the best chefs. At the end we are exhausted and hungry.

Police Beat is a strange little film. Niang is stiff and wooden at times, but, at others, the flow is perfect.

The performances are strong and Larkin and Menzies in particular have an intensity that lifts this film above the pack.

Singin' in the Rain remains one of the most enduring, effervescent and exuberant of films.

Enjoyable, and well assembled, but the distance in language and setting work against it.

A fascinating autobiographical montage.

This is a crisp and well made thriller. It confidently moves the story with its universal themes of secrecy and the abuse of power to France, and grips all the way through.

This is England is, quite simply, the best British film for years. If you're underage, sneak into this film.

What raises Cameron's creation above costumed action spectacle is the quality of the writing and the chemistry of its juve leads.

Visually awesome, panoramic, brilliantly acted and bursting with beautiful poetry and imagery.

You could talk your way round the houses and still come up with very good reasons for believing that when Loach goes political, he makes Karl Marx look benign.
