2.5/5
     (2008)      "Even though there's never a hint of either research or gritty realism, it's still good fun." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "Fast and fairly engaging ... but in the end it feels a bit pointless." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "A gripping drama examining the pains and frustrations--and also the hidden strengths--of youth." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Extremely clever filmmaking--sharp and very funny, but also challenging and packed with relevance." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2004)      "Blessed with sharply written dialog and vivid characters, even when the plot drifts into a swamp of mushy cliches." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "The limited setting is effectively claustrophobic, although it adds a sense that the story isn't going anywhere." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/4
     (2006)      "This is such solid filmmaking that even the plot improbabilities and too-steady pace don't ruin it." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2009)      "Despite the predictable body-shifting premise and a heavy dose of sentimentality, this teen comedy is extremely enjoyable" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4.5/5
     (2007)      "Subtle and off-handed, gentle and relaxed, and utterly hysterical." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2009)      "Gleefully over-the-top, this film takes the disaster movie pretty much as far as it can go" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "It's too much to take at times, and rather confusing, but it's also breathtakingly passionate." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2008)      "This movie's script sticks so closely to formula that it could be a film school project." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2003)      "Iñárritu is dealing with love, grief and revenge in provocative ways that Hollywood would never dream of, avoiding the sermons and obvious morals." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "The final act moves the film from a gentle drama to a chilling cautionary tale about personal responsibility." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2008)      "Despite its standard rom-com structure and relatively superficial story, this film entertains the audience with the sheer charisma of the actors." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2003)      "This gruesome plotting combines with the gritty visual style to make the film an unsettling, creepy experience, complete with very strange sound editing and eerie musical choices that accent the offbeat post-apocalyptic imagery remarkably." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "An unsettling, creepy experience, complete with very strange sound editing and eerie musical choices that accent the offbeat post-apocalyptic imagery remarkably." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Even better than the first film, generating more consistent characters and keeping us thoroughly entertained from grisly start to creep-out finish." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "There are moments of sheer brilliance, but it's far too self-important and, ultimately, contrived." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "Captures raw realities about modern life while telling a genuinely touching romance using virtually no dialog. " [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2.5/5
     (2007)      "Overall, the film is freaky and gruesome enough to keep horror fans thrilled, especially as the monsters get stronger, faster, badder and nuttier." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2007)      "Zack Snyder invests loads of visual style into this adaptation of Frank Miller's now-classic graphic novel ... but there's not much going on underneath the gorgeous surface." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2009)      "Denis uses her typically moody, vague style to explore multicultural France with dark humour and warm emotion." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2007)      "Has a dark edge that's extremely well-developed by director Mangold, plus layered acting by Bale and Crowe." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "A thoroughly adult comedy that, refreshingly, isn't toned down for the PG-13 brigade." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2004)      "Reuniting with the leading lady from his best film (The Wedding Singer), Adam Sandler finds a way to blend his infantile vulgarity with a charming, beguiling love story." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2.5/5
     (2006)      "Uneven in both script and performances, but there's plenty to enjoy along the way." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
5/5
     (2009)      "Not only is it charming and funny, but it takes a strikingly original approach that leaves a big, stupid grin on your face" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2005)      "In each scene, both characters do things that are tender and cruel, which is so like real life that it's almost hard to watch." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2.5/5
     (2002)      "There's just enough of a hint at something interesting beneath the surface to make you wish Ozon had actually had the nerve to really go for it." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2.5/5
     (2008)      "The overwrought production, sieve-like plot and ludicrous characters merge into something genuinely hilarious. But that's clearly not what cast and crew were going for." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
    
9
(2009)
     "Inventively animated with a striking attention to detail, this offbeat thriller might have trouble finding an audience, as the sweet and scary elements sit rather awkwardly alongside each other. But it's still ambitious and engaging." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "Absolutely nothing is made of the characters or their relationship." [short review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2006)      "The facts in this documentary are astoundingly sobering, and yet society continues to keep its head buried in the sand. By avoiding any political slant, the filmmakers forcefully get the message across." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4.5/5
     (2006)      "A churning passion inside this eerie dramatic thriller really gets under our skin." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4.5/5
     (2001)      "The blending between Spielberg's childish sentiment and Kubrick's cold, hard stare is remarkable. It's so expertly made that it takes the breath away." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "The result is surprisingly effective -- excellent performances, character based comedy and even a few serious moments." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "A thoroughly engaging, surprisingly touching British comedy." [movie review]      Film Threat   
  
2/5
     (2006)      "Amid the corny cliches, the writers have buried several genuinely hilarious throwaway lines." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
1.5/5
     (2009)      "A hodge-podge of random story elements that seem to emerge from the land that logic forgot, including a Bollywood segment." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4.5/5
     (2007)      "This ambitious musical balances its visual outrageousness with a moving story. It's a little exhausting, but also wonderful." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2009)      "Quirky and cute almost to the point of distraction, the offbeat romance is only rescued by its likeable cast and an intriguing storyline" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
1.5/5
     (2002)      "The songs are rather forgettable and sometimes downright painful." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4.5/5
     (2002)      "Like the last Jonze-Kaufman collaboration, this film is a mind-spinning and often hilarious examination of identity and connection, playing with the whole idea of cinema in such a way that it keeps us delightfully off balance." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
4/5
     (2009)      "With his usual themes of memory and technology, Egoyan tells a provocative and deeply emotional story that centres on current issues. It's a little heavy handed, but still thoroughly involving." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2002)      "By never deciding what it wants to be -- wacky comedy or action thriller -- this film fails miserably on both fronts." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
2/5
     (2005)      "Kusama (Girlfight) and her writers play it dead straight, and the result isn't nearly as much fun as it should be." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2001)      "Gomis keeps the focus tightly (and shoots mostly in close-up), resisting the temptation to preach." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3.5/5
     (2002)      "This is a harrowing story of addiction and co-dependence, strong and quite moving." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall   
  
3/5
     (2003)      "Extremely well written, acted and filmed with edgy life and humour that keeps it from turning mawkish." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall
