A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |

Abandon (2002) |
"One of the most incoherent features in recent memory." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
"Abduction unfolds as a tightly plotted mystery, and it wouldn't be fair to reveal much more than that." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
|
|
About a Boy (2002) |
"Rascally Hugh Grant, a beyond-awkward little boy and the makers of American Pie team up for a near-perfect comic delight." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
About Schmidt (2002) |
"Despite Jack Nicholson's competence, this comedy about a Midwestern retiree never goes beyond mocking its characters and flattering its audience." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Absolute Power (1997) |
"The picture might have gotten by if Eastwood had given it some impudent wit. But he directs to the rhythm of his facial muscles." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
"Absolute Wilson doesn't depend on believing in Wilson's greatness, just on his immense cultural potency and the extraordinary nature of his personal odyssey." |

Adaptation (2002) |
"Warped, self-lacerating and giddily hilarious." |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"This clunky TV remake is stiffer than an iron curtain." |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"This is a good example of what can happen when a bunch of grownup humans who really ought to know better get funny ideas about art." |

|
After The Wedding (2007) |
"What feels at first like a quiet, straightforward picture builds into one of the richest and most satisfying of the year so far, in any genre or any language." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
|
|
Against the Ropes (2003) |
"Somewhere along the way, I found myself enjoying Against the Ropes, not in spite of my better judgment, but because something in the movie defies the whole notion of better judgment altogether." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Aimee & Jaguar (2000) |
"The film ... isn't up to the complexities the story raises, but it's a consistently engrossing piece of work." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Air Force One (1997) |
"The two hours of this movie felt like such an eternity that I was certain my clothes were going to be out of style by the time it was over." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"It's never clear from one moment to the next what is a joke and what is deadly earnest, until the two concepts finally merge into a sort of Buddhist singularity." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
|
|
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"Fans of Franken as a comedian and/or as an Air America radio host, will find plenty to enjoy." |

|
Alex and Emma (2003) |
"Dull and listless from the start, partly because the leads fail to connect and partly because both the script and the direction let them down." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Alfie (2004) |
"The movie invites us to revel in Alfie's stylishness, and then slaps us on the wrist for reveling in it a little too much." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Ali (2001) |
"This could be the only movie we'll get on the fighter, and it's just not good enough." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Alias Betty (2002) |
"Don't let the creepy dread fool you -- this quiet French thriller gets to the heart of motherhood, and then pays off with comfort and calm." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Alice et Martin (1998) |
"Alice et Martin has its faults, but there's some real meat here, in the performances and direction." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Alien (1979) |
"A haunted-house movie set in space, Alien also has a profoundly existentialist undertow that makes it feel like a film noir -- the other genre to feature a slithery, sexualized monster as its classic villain." |

Alien Resurrection (1997) |
"Weaver obviously relishes playing this feral, sarcastic new Ripley, and her pleasure is infectious." |
Laura Miller |

Aliens (1986) |
"A breathless action movie." |
Max Garrone |
|
|
All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
"If your taste runs to 'difficult' films you absolutely can't miss it." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
|
9/10 |
All About My Mother (1999) |
"All About My Mother is a movie so intrinsically rich that it doesn't need any metaphors." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
All About the Benjamins (2002) |
"The comedy is tepid, the action is dopey and even the violence is boring and occasionally cruel." |

|
All or Nothing (2002) |
"Leigh's daring here is that without once denying the hardscrabble lives of people on the economic fringes of Margaret Thatcher's ruinous legacy, he insists on the importance of those moments when people can connect and express their love for each other." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
All Over Me (1997) |
"It succeeds beautifully at capturing the inner life of girls." |
Nell Bernstein |
|
|
All The King's Men (2006) |
"We never quite know what Willie Stark does stand for, aside from the fact that we're repeatedly told he's a man of the people. Penn's performance has the opacity of solid brick." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"The weight of myth sits on nearly every frame of the movie like a 400-pound gorilla." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
All the Real Girls (2003) |
"Green seems more in love with his perceived unconventionality than he does with his characters." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Almost Famous (2000) |
"Penny Lane [is] played by Hudson with an intuitive lucidity that recalls the best work of her mother, Goldie Hawn." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"A dreary, ludicrous thriller." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"A movie where love means diarrhea." |
Charles Taylor |
|
|
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Cassavetes -- a sometime actor himself -- doesn't seem to understand actors at all. From the finished product, it looks as if his preferred method of guiding his actors is to egg them on rather than nudge them toward restraint." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003) |
"A beautiful movie about the power of music, about the power of being right." |
Jeff Stark |
|
|
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"[Apted's] picture, openhearted and enthusiastic, is partly an ode to Wilberforce and partly a love letter to the simple act of taking action." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
|
|
Amelie (2001) |
"It's hard to be charmed, hard to think of a movie as a delightful trifle, when you're so conscious of how hard the filmmakers are working to make it charming." |
Charles Taylor |
