Movie toplist: 676 to 700

"The film is short and to the point, Iwai creates a lush and vibrant atmosphere, the performances are strong and the central concept is emotionally poignant as well as extremely cinematic."

"The atmosphere is pleasantly bleak, dark and loaded, there's a little audiovisual bravoure, the actors are on point and the plot keeps you guessing."

"The Message is visually stunning, smart, atmospheric and even a little tense near the end."

"If you're looking for something totally different, strangely off-beat and pleasantly absurd, dressed in up utter stylistic wackiness, then Schizopolis definitely has you covered."

"A film that's rich in atmosphere, beautifully animated and with just the right amount of depth, a film that soothes and comforts but is more than simple sentimental fluff."

"It's a fun, quirky and silly film that slowly grows on you and leaves you behind with a warm smile."

"Ip Man turned out to be an extremely solid entry in the ever growing list of Yip and Yen collaborations. If you liked Fearless, you will probably like this one too."

"It's not a wildly original film but it introduces enough elements to differentiate itself from other Japanese dramas while keeping the usual traits firmly in place."

"It's a mad blend of western and soap drama, wrapped in Thai goodness, rendered in the craziest color combos imaginable and sporting one of the cheesiest soundtracks I've ever heard."

"Focusing solely on technical qualities, Fudoh is ripping apart at the seams, but that would mean ignoring all the creativity, joy and sheer disregard for proper taste on display here."

"There's a dark comedy streak that keeps the film on the right track, the polished presentation and the captivating central performance do the rest."

"Under the Light is pure visual bliss, a film that bathes in color and light and leaves no frame untouched to explore the limits of how far you can push the cinematography."

"A very stylish, lovingly crafted romance that carries Jeunet's signature, offers quality in every department and should appeal to a broad audience without feeling too generic or dumbed-down."

"one of the many Japanese dramas dealing with adolescents, but it manages to stand out thanks to its original setting, its unpredictable plot, and its youthful presentation."

"This may just be Iseya's second film, but it feels a lot like the work of a confident, accomplished director."

"There aren't many directors who can pull of urban fantasy like Winans can, even when he only has a rather limited budget to work with."

"While the Women Are Sleeping is a fine mystery/thriller. The film looks great, sports a good soundtrack, has a perfect cast and handles both its mystery and its audience with the proper respect."

"If you have a soft spot for claymation or you're just looking for a zany comedy, A Town Called Panic will not disappoint."

"With two spirited actresses, a fun and progressively more over-the-top script, nifty dark comedy and a very economic runtime, 2LDK is a film that made me grin from start to finish."

"The superb performances, the stylish presentation, and the perfect balance of plot and character focus make this one of the better contemporary Japanese dramas."

"With Wrong Dupieux delivers a refreshing slice of absurd comedy that few other directors out there are able to match."

"I found La Meute to be a very pleasant surprise, but I encountered plenty of disappointed reactions elsewhere."

"The film never slacks and even gives the viewer a nice look into the whole gang structure in between the fights, making it a little more than just another butt-kicking action flick. "

"Two Pigeons is a small delight. It's not a big, swooping movie, but it offers plenty of nasty smiles, some genuine wonder and a very balanced ending."

"Oshima delivers a very polished and accomplished film, offering splendid cinematography, a lovely score, stellar performances of its main cast and an intriguing plot."
