All Is Forgiven (2007)

  • Hansen-Love, Mia
  • 2007, France, Mia Hansen-Love
  • Leave a comment

An assured feature debut from Mia Hansen-Løve who deals with the film’s father-daughter bond/estrangement with a clear-eyed sensitivity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Boarding Gate (2007)

  • Assayas, Olivier
  • 2007, France, Olivier Assayas
  • 1 Comment

A lacklustre first half plagues Assayas’ globetrotting ‘thriller’ about corporate and personal manipulation, but it gets better and features Asia Argento in a strong performance. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

You, the Living (2007)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 2007, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • 4 Comments

The second instalment of Andersson’s absurdist ‘Living’ trilogy is a gentler but no less incisive take on the beauty and doldrums of human existence.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Afternoon (2007)

  • Schanelec, Angela
  • 2007, Angela Schanelec, Germany
  • 2 Comments

Schanelec’s film here works like an outdoorsy chamber piece, based on Chekhov’s “The Seagull”, and shot with the kind of abstract and fluid ambiguity that has characterised most of her fascinating output.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Youth Without Youth (2007)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 2007, Francis Ford Coppola, Romania, USA
  • Leave a comment

One of Coppola’s weakest efforts in what is a heavy-handed and muddling mess of a film, despite the good performance by Tim Roth.

⭐⭐

Rating: 2 out of 5.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

  • Anderson, Paul Thomas
  • 2007, Paul Thomas Anderson, USA
  • 10 Comments

Not just P.T. Anderson’s finest film to date, but one of the greatest works of the 2000s decade – this is a cinematic masterpiece in every sense of the word.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Munyurangabo (2007)

  • Others
  • 2007, Rwanda
  • 3 Comments

3.5 stars

Too loosely-structured to work compellingly, though some may find this restrained take on the psychological impact of the Rwandan genocide on two boys (of opposing ethnicity) poetic.

Bourne Ultimatum, The (2007)

  • Greengrass, Paul, Popular
  • 2007, Paul Greengrass, USA
  • 3 Comments

4.5 stars

The best movie of the franchise and a very high watermark of 2000s action-thrillers.

Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The (2007)

  • Schnabel, Julian
  • 2007, France, Julian Schnabel
  • 1 Comment

4 stars

Julian Schnabel’s work here is sublime and powerful, so is his lead actor Mathieu Amalric in one of 2007’s finest performances.

Secret of the Grain, The (2007)

  • Criterion Collection, Kechiche, Abdellatif
  • 2007, Abdellatif Kechiche, France
  • Leave a comment

5 stars

A staggering masterwork about an extended Arab family living in France—their intimate lives, their buzzing families, the wonderful food, and their hopes and struggles.
