4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007)

  • Criterion Collection, Mungiu, Cristian
  • 2007, Cristian Mungiu, Romania
  • 5 Comments

A masterwork of post-2000s East European cinema, this is an intense and uncompromising Romanian drama about illegal abortion that draws power from its stark visuals and ultra-long takes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Unrelated (2007)

  • Hogg, Joanna
  • 2007, Joanna Hogg, UK
  • Leave a comment

Hogg’s debut feature is an enriching experience, almost Rohmer-esque in its focus on the bourgeois and their conversations as a middle-aged British woman in an unhappy marriage joins a friend’s family for a vacation in Tuscany. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Paranoid Park (2007)

  • Van Sant, Gus
  • 2007, Gus Van Sant, USA
  • Leave a comment

An interesting if somewhat inconsistent experiment with visual language and sound design as Van Sant collaborates with DP Christopher Doyle to capture an intimate psychical portrait of a teenage boy faced with an insurmountable psychological burden.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Night Train (2007)

  • Diao, Yi'nan
  • 2007, China, Diao Yi'nan
  • 1 Comment

Enigmatically told with stunning picturesque visuals, Diao’s sophomore film about a frigid woman looking for love in a Chinese industrial town sees him channel the spirit of Antonioni. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Katyn (2007)

  • Wajda, Andrzej
  • 2007, Andrzej Wajda, Poland
  • Leave a comment

Despite the historical importance of the subject matter, Wadja’s personal film is surprisingly uninvolving for long stretches.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

5 Centimeters Per Second (2007)

  • Shinkai, Makoto
  • 2007, Japan, Makoto Shinkai
  • 4 Comments

This largely-narrated hour-long anime in three parts captures with introspection and quiet solace the bliss and despairing nature of first love, with breathtaking visuals to boot. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Zodiac (2007)

  • Fincher, David
  • 2007, David Fincher, USA
  • 8 Comments

Hard to deny that this is Fincher’s magnum opus—this extraordinary crime procedural based on the unsolved Zodiac killings of the late 1960s is surely one of the most chillingly suspenseful films from the 2000s decade. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

American Gangster (2007)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2007, Ridley Scott, USA
  • 2 Comments

One of the best films of 2007, this is Ridley Scott’s absorbing take on the crime saga.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

881 (2007)

  • Tan, Royston
  • 2007, Royston Tan, Singapore
  • 1 Comment

One of the most crowd-pleasing Singaporean films of the 2000s, Royston Tan’s getai movie is both riotously funny and a tearjerking melodrama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
