A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"The brilliance of A Scanner Darkly is how it suggests, without bombast or fanfare, the ways in which the real world has come to resemble the dark world of comic books." | |
Carina Chocano | |

5/5 |

A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"It's hard to imagine many films surpassing or even equaling the effect of this supple, breathtakingly direct, small French film." | |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"A not quite seamless, not completely satisfying but invariably attention-grabbing combination of divergent themes, genres and even story lines." | |
Kenneth Turan | |

|
| |
2/5 |
|
Abandon (2002) |
|
"A trite psychological thriller designed to keep the audience guessing and guessing -- which is not to be confused with suspecting -- until it comes time to wrap things up and send the viewers home." | |
Kevin Thomas | |

3.5/5 |

ABCD (2001) |
|
"It's polished without being slick; well-paced and graceful and brought alive by stellar performances led by Jaffrey." | |

4/5 |
|
Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"The story it tells is a shattering mystery of violation and loss, if only because by the end, certain answers only lead to more punishing questions." | |
Robert Abele | |

Aberdeen (2001) |

About a Boy (2002) |

4/5 |
|
About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Perfectly pitched between comedy and tragedy, hope and despair, About Schmidt instead comes far closer than many movies to expressing the way many of us live -- someplace between consuming self-absorption and insistently demanding otherness." | |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"Impressive as is Wilson's output and oeuvre, it's the fully-engaged, aesthetically driven life that fascinates. And Otto-Bernstein's movie is a portrait of an artist at his most essential, in every sense." | |

Accepted (2006) |
|
"More disconcerting is the idea put forward that self-indulgence is a substitute for structured education, or, more to the point, that it's a substitute for life." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

Jessica Reaves | |

3/5 |
|
Adam & Steve (2006) |
|
"Much of Craig Chester's good-hearted love story Adam & Steve is silly and contrived, but the film boasts four engaging actors, including Chester." | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

|
After The Wedding (2007) |
|
"It's that paradoxical melodrama that point-blank refuses to acknowledge that it's being melodramatic, conveying its scenario with enough intensity, psychological acuity and forceful acting to ignore labels and flat-out overpower audiences." | |
Kenneth Turan | |
|
|
|

Against the Ropes (2003) |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
