All Is Forgiven (2007)

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

An assured feature debut from Mia Hansen-Lรธve who deals with the filmโ€™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
  • 2 Comments

A lacklustre first half plagues Assayasโ€™ globetrotting โ€˜thrillerโ€™ about corporate and personal manipulation, but it gets better and features Asia Argento in a strong performance.

You, the Living (2007)

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

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

Afternoon (2007)

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

Schanelecโ€™s film here works like an outdoorsy chamber piece, based on Chekhovโ€™s โ€œThe Seagullโ€, and shot with the kind of abstract and fluid ambiguity that has characterised most of her fascinating output.

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.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

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

Not just P.T. Andersonโ€™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.

Munyurangabo (2007)

  • Others
  • 2007, Rwanda
  • 4 Comments

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
  • 4 Comments

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

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