A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"In a film that’s largely about the internal life of Bob/Fred, [Keanu] Reeves is at pains to show that he has one." | |
Chris Orr | |
|
|

|
|
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"Jacquot seems unwilling to either shape his story or offer commentary, a standard New Wave strategy that, in this instance, makes for a tale as vague as it is nouvelle." | |
Ella Taylor | |

Aaja Nachle (2007) |
|
"If history has taught us anything, it's that the effectiveness of a proposition such as Aaja Nachle depends almost entirely on charm. In this case, that invitation is all but irresistible." | |
David Chute | |

Abandon (2002) |
|
"Gaghan captures the half-lit, sometimes creepy intimacy of college dorm rooms, a subtlety that makes the silly, over-the-top coda especially disappointing." | |
Chuck Wilson | |

The Abandoned (2007) |

"The last thing a filmmaker named Nacho needs is more cheese." | |

ABCD (2001) |

Aberdeen (2001) |
|
"Moland ... has a fine eye for landscapes, but an even surer touch with actors." | |

Abominable (2006) |
|
"Not quite aptly titled, but close." | |

About a Boy (2002) |
|
"There's not much more to this adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel than charm -- effortless, pleasurable, featherweight charm." | |
Manohla Dargis | |

About Adam (2001) |
|
"While the film strives to prove its cool, it's also built on [an] insufferably antique idea." | |
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert | |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"Wilson is the prime example of what happens when money is continually thrown at a voracious ego -- its creative universe keeps expanding until the money stops. One problem is that most of Wilson’s works don't 'snapshot' very well as excerpts." | |
Steven Mikulan | |

Accepted (2006) |
|
"Accepted Or, Ferris Bueller gets his B.A. In this amiable but undernourished campus comedy." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |
|
"After Hair, Hairspray and the mass marketing of tie-dye, can the ’60s be shrunk to fit any further? Yes, indeed." | |
Ella Taylor | |

|
Adam & Steve (2006) |
|
"Adam & Steve is uneven, but it’s a relief to see a gay romance that isn’t about ab-perfect 20-year-olds, and which features lovers played by two long out-of-the-closet actors." | |
Chuck Wilson | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
|
"The cartoon is about as true to the spirit of the Festival of Lights as Mr. Deeds was to that of Frank Capra." | |
Dan Fienberg | |

|
Adam's Apples (2007) |
|
"Some will see this as a movie about how we’re all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen’s runaway ego." | |
Scott Foundas | |

Adaptation (2002) |

Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |

"This feeble comedy-tragedy has Sirkian aspirations but never misses an opportunity to settle for being flesh-friendly gay-film-festival fodder." | |

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |

The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
|
"It would all be too obviously feel-good if Ducastel and Martineau weren't also tuned in to the liberating drift of the open highway and a sharp native humor that adds needed flesh and blood to their walking metaphors." | |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |

After Midnight (2004) |

"This impassioned yet somewhat too precious fable from writer-director Davide Ferrario feels calculated to make a cineaste swoon, and yet . . . it never quite does." | |

After The Wedding (2007) |

"Evidently, this bloated piece of Oscar-nominated nonsense was a big hit in Denmark, which makes me think there’s a glittering future in that otherwise discriminating country for several seasons of Days of Our Lives." | |

Agent Cody Banks (2003) |

"Bond-worthy gadgets to see [Cody] through his first assignment, but what he really needs is a third-act rewrite." | |
Chuck Wilson | |

|
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
|
"The first Cody Banks worked by playing on the immense gap between secret-agent sophistication and hormonal teenage awkwardness; volume 2 never finds a similar conceit to milk." | |
