    Khumba
    Even the film’s key source of charm, its heartfelt allegory about tolerance, becomes a flaw when rare flashes of anarchy (notably a tribe of crazed rodents) are eclipsed by over earnestness.

    Visitors
    Undeniably beautiful, oddly moving... and quickly tiresome.

    Revenge of the Electric Car
    The resulting puff-piece is a warning to crusading filmmakers about what happens after they’ve beaten the system.

    A Man's Story
    Sadly, rather than provide insight into Boateng’s creative process, director Varon Bonicos is dazzled by the globetrotting, celeb-schmoozing lifestyle.

    The Tree
    Initially promising, this Aussie weepie branches unconvincingly into magic realism, with symbolism so clunky it hampers Gainsbourg’s involving turn.

    Dark Night
    This portrait of an alienated culture funnelling its rage into gun violence is itself too cold and distant to connect.

    Back to Burgundy
    It’s more of a table wine – inoffensive, middlebrow and, like the scenes of grape harvesting here, hard work.
