Eastern Promises (2007) |
"Eastern Promises is finally conventional, even sentimental." |

Edmond (2006) |
"Depressing, disgusting, and dated, Edmond is worth braving to experience America’s best-known serious playwright at his most gruesomely undiluted." |

Elegy (2008) |
"Elegy is a spare, melancholy film that is so far in spirit from its source, Philip Roth’s The Dying Animal, that I’m tempted to say we should abandon altogether the idea of adapting Roth." |

Elf (2003) |
"I love watching Ferrell do his gangly, clueless shtick, and even here, there’s something inherently funny about just seeing him in a big, green elf suit. There’s something inherently funny about Ferrell -- period." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Elite Squad (2008) |
"It bears a resemblance to viscerally exciting seventies urban thrillers like The French Connection, in which only the fascists could do what needed to be done." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Elizabeth: The Golden Age is an unholy mixture of the banal and the bombastic." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Encounter Point (2006) |
"It may not break any new aesthetic ground, but Encounter Point might just be the most optimistic film about this conflict you’ll ever see." |

Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"Midway through, an eerier theme creeps in, all the more powerful for Herzog’s lack of insistence. By the 'end of the world' he means the end of the world." |

Enemy at the Gates (2001) |
"It's as if an obsessed movie nut had decided to collect every bad war-movie convention on one computer and program it to spit out a script." |

The English Surgeon (2009) |
"[A] superb documentary." |

Enough (2002) |
"Clumsy, obvious, preposterous, the movie will likely set the cause of woman warriors back decades." |

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"It's the kind of film that could mean more to people after they've left the theater and thought about it awhile." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"Evan Almighty runs out of comic invention early, and the filmmakers fall back on what real politicians do when they exhaust their small stash of ideas: brainless piety." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Evening (2007) |
"It works on paper, but [author Susan] Minot, who shares credit for the adaptation with fellow novelist Michael Cunningham, doesn’t understand that screenwriting is the art of taking away." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Everlasting Moments (2009) |
"Period movies with lots of sepia are usually soft in the head, but the nostalgic glow of Jan Troell’s Everlasting Moments only adds to the clarity -- and wonder -- of its vision." |

Exiled (2007) |
"If you’ve never seen a Johnnie To crime picture, Exiled is a simple, stylish, and utterly delightful introduction." |

The Exiles (1961) |
"You can only brood on the near half-century since The Exiles was shot -- and be grateful that someone went to that place and captured it all." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Expired (2008) |
"Morton is one of those tingly actresses whose skin barely covers her soul, and to watch her search for tender mercies in a crazy-hostile world is a gift. The film is appallingly good." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Exterminating Angels (2007) |
"The director can’t get past his notion of himself as a fearlessly transgressive artist-hero, a martyr to the limitations of male gaze. With all those lovely naked women helping him act out his own Promethean fall, it’s less autocritique than autoeroticism" |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"It's a powerful movie without always, or often, being a very good one; watching it is a bit like being inside the twistings and conniptions of a control freak who longs to lose control, only to pull back tighter than ever." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Ezra (2008) |
"The tatty budget shows. But there are extraordinary moments in the rebel camp, in which the filmmaking becomes simpler as the psychology grows more complicated, as the boys (and girls) lean on one another and grope their way toward a kind of normalcy." |
