Splat

Accepted (2006)

"Go right ahead and skip this one at the Cineplex. You've got my word: It won't be on the final."

Joanne Kaufman

Tomato

Adam (2009)

"Adam succeeds at getting inside its hero's mind and, more impressively still, gives us entrée to his singular soul."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Adventureland (2009)

"There's no shortage of felicitous lines or interesting performances, yet the movie, like the amusement park of its title, feels constructed from familiar parts."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

After The Wedding (2007)

"A thrilling -- and harrowing, and beautiful -- celebration of the unpredictability of life."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

All About Steve (2009)

"A head-banging excuse for a comedy."

Joanne Kaufman

Splat

All The King's Men (2006)

"In the end this murky remake functions mainly as a plain-wrapper setting for a fancy piece of acting that gets lost in a void. Who needs it? Who needed it in the first place?"

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Amazing Grace (2007)

"Amazing Grace is a case of good works done well...[an] admirable historical drama."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

Amelia (2009)

"Amelia leaves you wondering how its abundantly gifted director, Mira Nair, and its Oscar-winning star, Hilary Swank, could have been complicit in such clumsiness."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

An American Affair (2009)

"This is not, by any reasonable definition of the term, a professional film, even though several experienced and established actors have been inveigled to inhabit it"

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

American Gangster (2007)

"The better it gets -- and the drama grows in power over its quasi-epic course of 157 minutes -- the more it brings to mind the truly great gangster films of American movie history."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Amreeka (2009)

"Most important, Mr. Dabis knows that home -- what a fraught place! -- is, in equal measures, where the hurt is and where the heart is."

Joanne Kaufman

Tomato

An Education (2009)

"No movie I've seen in a very long time has touched me so deeply, or bestowed so much pleasure."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Angel-A (2007)

"This movie will make you feel better about life in general, and, in particular, about Paris, which has never looked more magnificent than in Thierry Arbogast's cinematography."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

Angels & Demons (2009)

"An odd kind of a slog that manages to keep you partially engaged, even at its most esoteric or absurd, despite an endlessly excitable choir and Hans Zimmer's pitiless score."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

The Answer Man (2009)

"Its crackly sarcasm and smart talk turn out to be simply coating for a soft, icky, center."

Joanne Kaufman

Tomato

Antichrist (2009)

"By turns repellent, powerful and ludicrous, Antichrist piles horror on horror with pitiless passion."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Apocalypto (2006)

"By the end I felt sure it was the most obsessively, graphically violent film I'd ever seen, but equally sure that Apocalypto is a visionary work with its own wild integrity. And absolutely, positively convinced that seeing it once is enough."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

Appaloosa (2008)

"Mannered, episodic and slow."

Joe Morgenstern

Splat

Arctic Tale (2007)

"Makes the mistake of anthropomorphizing its subjects and substitutes pallid whimsy for reportage."

Joanne Kaufman

Splat

Art & Copy (2009)

"It all sounds rather grandiose, but it's hardly a surprising view from folks accustomed to thinking big."

Joanne Kaufman

Splat

The Astronaut Farmer (2007)

"This movie is some muddled imagineering. It's a glib fantasy that soars beyond the misinformation belt into the vacuous realm of misinspiration."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Atonement (2007)

"As good a film as one could imagine having been made from a great work of contemporary fiction."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Australia (2008)

"Sometimes Luhrmann seems to be living in a Dreamtime of his own; his movie is all over the map. But what a gorgeous map it is."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Avenue Montaigne (2007)

"It's formula stuff, to be sure, but full of feeling for the sweep of the past as well as for the unsettled, yearning present. Echoes of Juliette Gréco, Gilbert Bécaud and Charles Aznavour haunt the soundtrack."

Joe Morgenstern

Tomato

Away From Her (2007)

"A feature film that's often astringent on the surface, yet deeply and memorably stirring."

Joe Morgenstern
