Search: Starring Dakota Fanning

McGregor's character paradoxically gets too much and not enough. Swede feels clogged with sentiment for his daughter, with little room for other emotions.

Richard Gere is exceptional.

Koolhoven wants all voyeurism of an exploitation flick while still expecting us to take his artistry seriously, and it's an unholy mix.

What is astounding, is the restraint shown by director Gary Winick - nothing takes us from the quiet rural life of America in the Forties.

Perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere of Neil Gaiman's much loved story.

The story is told without frills and if you find yourself choking with emotion practically all the way through, it doesn't feel faked.

A beautifully rendered film with oodles of character.

What makes this film so much more than a thriller is the very terrible human emotional territory it dares to venture in.

This is an ensemble performance in the psychopathology of feeling over-dramatically sorry for oneself.

The final twist comes across as amateurish and lazy.

This slice of southern gothic is deep fried in almost every cliche you could mention from the last 50 years - and served up with an unfortunate side order of snakes.

Buttons are pushed, emotions manipulated.

The film resembles a schizophrenic's acid trip - viscious, paranoid and out-of-the-box.

My Neighbour Totoro is a true family film, both about, and for, families and while it is wholly concerned with good, decent, likeable people (as well as endearing rustic entities), it somehow avoids saccharine sentiments or a pat resolution.

Reichardt observes the game coolly, yet provides more than enough detail to show the contradictions in her players' gambits.

Parker has a tendency to wallow too long in the moment.

Tarantino's on good form but there are moments in the middle of the 165-minute marathon where it flags before mustering for its finale.

The best praise you can heap on Push is that it’s nearly good.

There's a wham, bam, thank you, man, quality to this music biopic that makes it a pleasurable rock rush that's easy on the eye, even if it fails to do much more than skate the surface of the band of its title.

It’s all very Oprah chick flick, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a real soul.

The characters have no backbone, the story little credibility or substance.

The tension is relentless and the effects awesome.
