A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |

Ali (2001) |
|
"A 154-minute film that is both too much and not enough -- too much boxing, too many hours to sit, and too few connections." | |
Jean Lowerison | |

|
Alice et Martin (1998) |

|
All About My Mother (1999) |
|
"All these characters are a bit beyond the pale, but Almodovar invests them with more humanity than he has in previous films. And all of them, despite the craziness of their lives, just keep on truckin.'" | |

American Adobo (2002) |

Anger Management (2003) |
