A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"The film is neither too cold nor too sentimental for its own good, and its ambitions remain fitfully engaging while its promise goes mostly unachieved." |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Its greatest fans will treasure it, and its detractors might even be willing to reevaluate it someday. If that isn’t the mark of a great piece of art, I don’t know what is" |

ABC Africa (2002) |
"Better to just call it ABC Kiarostami. For AIDS and Africa are nothing more than part of the scenery." |

About a Boy (2002) |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"A movie that is certainly light and earnest enough to recommend -- but those adjectives should say more than enough to keep the die-hard fans away." |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"A crass, often ridiculously misguided period drama that spells everything out in nice, big block letters so even a small child could comprehend it." |

All About Eve (1950) |
"It is, unquestionably, one of America¡¯s proudest moments, and before you line up for tickets to the new Adam Sandler vehicle, you may want to remind yourself of what movies used to be able to accomplish." |

All About My Mother (1999) |
"With its emphasis on uniquely female relationships and conflicts, the film gives us a taste of the freshness for which we look to foreign film in the first place." |

All or Nothing (2002) |
"The Southeast London working class housing estate of Mike Leigh's All or Nothing becomes a melting pot for issues that this most humanistic of directors has continually returned to over the years: parents, children, secrets, love, resentment..." |

All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"The movie's fighting spirit is still there as well as Thornton's noble intentions, and in this year of crassness, I'll take a noble intention over shady condescension anyday." |
