The Gleaners And I 5/5 (C)

After this and Vagabond I'm adding more Agnes Varda to my Lovefilm list. Wish I could have seen Waste Land as well.

Into Eternity 4.5/5 (C)

Fantastic documentary which did what all great documentaries should do and made me think. Shame I couldn't stay for the heated debate afterwards.

Red Monarch 2/5 (C)

Trainspotting 5/5 (C)

Still brilliant 15 years later. Digging out the soundtrack next

A Screaming Man 2.5/5 (C)

For some reason I just couldn't get into this but I think I should have liked it. Part of the problem of seeing so many films at a Festival (and running around in between them)

Vagabond 4/5 (C)

Blue Valentine 4.5/5 (C)

Power cut meant I didn't see the last 5 minutes but I don't think it matters

Splice 3.5/5 (D)

Really quite good until it goes all wrong at the end.

The Other Boleyn Girl 3/5 (R)

Made Natalie Portman's performance in Black Swan seem even more remarkable.

A Good Year 2.5/5 (T)

Only half watching, but it seemed ok.

The King's Speech 3.5/5 (C)

Entertaining but not sure why all the praise.

26 January 2011

Black Swan 5/5 (C)

May not quite by a five star film but this was a five star screening.

Valhalla Rising 3/5 (D)

Looks amazing but I had no idea what was going on.

Another Year 5/5 (C)

Brilliantly hilarious and depressing.

The Cranes Are Flying 4/5 (C)

Mother 3/5 (D)

Think I was far too tired to really appreciate this.
