  1. Evolution
    It's a ponderous but not unenjoyable comedy.
    • Boston Globe
  2. Bride of the Wind
    Botches the chance to delve into the personality of a complex, alluring, and free-spirited woman.
    • Boston Globe
  3. The Anniversary Party
    Isn't what you'd call a probing film, but it's a slick and savvy one.
    • Boston Globe
  4. Erleuchtung garantiert
    Likable, go-with-the-flow comedy.
    • Boston Globe
  5. Swordfish
    A high-impact, high-powered mess that raises the bar for over-the-topness.
    • Boston Globe
  6. Divided We Fall
    The film's triumph - and it is a triumph - in the end rests on the ability of Hrebejk and his actors to convince us that they never stop being normal people.
    • Boston Globe
  7. A Love Divided
    Solid, balanced period piece that focuses on a specific place and time yet resonates with universal themes.
    • Boston Globe
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Big Eden
    It's a refreshing alternative to hipper-than-thou moviemaking.
    • Boston Globe
  9. Rape Me
    You won't feel raped by it, but you well may feel that it's too ideologically earnest for the porn crowd and too hard-core for serious audiences.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    The Animal
    Through it all, Rob Schneider comes off as a jackass in The Animal.
    • Boston Globe
  11. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Supposed to be a cheeky little lark but instead runs a narrow gamut from labored to aimless.
    • Boston Globe
    • 73 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Himalaya
    Valli's touch as an artist is too light, and his dramatic sense too timid, to make the film much more than a collection of pretty pictures.
    • Boston Globe
  13. The Man Who Cried
    The imagery is lush, but the story is pretty cornball, with an ending that can only be called pure Hollywood. Only the marvelous Cate Blanchett transcends stereotype.
    • Boston Globe
  14. The Road Home
    As luminous as the star presence at its center. It's at once a touching teacher movie and an even more touching love story.
    • Boston Globe
  15. Pearl Harbor
    The film never quite hits a sure-footed stride. The fictional love story stays fictional. But ''Pearl Harbor'' delivers the main event.
    • Boston Globe
  16. Fast Food Fast Women
    A warmhearted, hardworking little comedy that owes a lot of its charm to its modesty.
    • Boston Globe
  17. Angel Eyes
    Lopez is not yet the actor Caviezel is. Still, she fills her performance with conviction, does a couple of her own stunts, and has enough star presence to fill the big screen.
    • Boston Globe
  18. Moulin Rouge!
    The film musical is at the moment an even more devitalized art form than the Broadway musical. But Moulin Rouge doesn't revive it. It only rearranges the bones.
    • Boston Globe
  19. Shrek
    Suggests a summit meeting between ''The Princess Bride'' and ''Bridget Jones's Diary,'' it has a decided charm of its own.
    • Boston Globe
  20. Sordid Lives
    It's heady in the beginning, chaotic throughout, and numb with the suddenness of the Internet economy's plummet at the end.
    • Boston Globe
  21. The King Is Alive
    Sinks under the weight of its ever more inescapably apparent contrivance, and its forced parallels to ''Lear.''
    • Boston Globe
  22. The Trumpet of the Swan
    The film is gentle and carries a simple moral.
    • Boston Globe
  23. Bread and Roses
    The reason Bread and Roses works as well as it does is that as didactic as it sometimes gets, its heart is always bigger than its ideology.
    • Boston Globe
  24. A Knight's Tale
    A Knight's Tale, will either repel you or win you over. It won me over.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    About Adam
    In a moralistic time, About Adam is something of an anomaly, as it airily sticks to its pro-naughtiness agenda.
    • Boston Globe
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Man Who Bought Mustique
    Becomes a creepy yet amusing look at how he tries to take control of the film being made about him.
    • Boston Globe
  27. Under the Sand
    Mesmerizing and unforgettable.
  28. Eureka
    Quiet, powerful, contemplative, respectful of stillness, Eureka is the first film this year in which there is obvious greatness.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Time and Tide
    A desperate, cynical self-parody.
    • Boston Globe
  30. The Mummy Returns
    If you liked the earlier ''Mummy,'' you'll probably like this one. In fact, at many points you'll probably think you are watching the earlier one.
