  1. As an actor, Raymond is whiny and annoying, but not nearly so much as the film.
  2. A dismayingly impersonal piece of anime, genial yet chaotic.
  3. A light romantic do-si-do.
  4. Rosetta is a character of raw pride in a film of lingering power.
  5. The mood is ruined by the bitchy 1990s stereotyping of the husband hunters.
  6. Herzog's fascinating, rambling, love-hate documentary about their friendship and creative partnership, and in its discursive, anecdotal way it gets at the essence of one of cinema's indelible crackpots.
  7. A tacit auteur-to-auteur endorsement of the inalienable right to make movies--regardless of talent or sobriety or adult responsibilities--is what gives American Movie its uneasy kick.
  8. A skeleton-thin thriller wrapped in glamorous production values.
  9. A good but far from great movie because it portrays truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is.
  10. A surreal, elegantly melancholy, and yet witty ensemble story.

    By appearing in The Suburbans, a stunningly laugh-free comedy, (Jennifer Love Hewitt)'s already gotten her career-worst movie out of the way.
  11. A sentimental epic that forgets to include the sentiment
  12. It's usually a good idea to avoid anything billed as ''a fable,'' but The Legend of 1900 offers almost enough merits to warrant an exception

    Has the effect of making the average Disney film look like just another toy story.
  13. The most excitingly original movie of the year.
  14. Trash, but always just a little creepier than you expect.
  15. A premise masquerading as a movie.
  16. Let loose in a plot that's surprisingly modern about sex and relationships, Morton gives Eva's torn longings an immediacy that transcends a lot of damp, 1950s rusticated preciousness.

    It's a tribute to the actors' appeal that they can sling this hash and keep our sympathies, but they can't squeeze much drama from pure soap.
  17. I didn't think Matthew Perry could find a romantic comedy more inert or inane than the 1997 fiasco ''Fools Rush In.''

    The kind of rote schlocker that rarely makes it to big screens anymore.
  18. A distasteful zeitgeist cocktail tracking the booze-fueled sexcapades of eight repellent L.A. singles.
  19. In their stark, black-and-white visual style, they are redolent of Italian neorealist cinema or fine muckraking WPA photojournalism.

    As campy as a flick by Banderas' evident artistic mentor, Pedro Almódovar.

    Works more in your head than on the screen.

    Cute, but there's no movie here -- just a transcultural replication.
  20. Korine remains unnecessarily smitten with sordidness, and there's plenty of it here.
  21. Pungent, funny, and surprisingly forceful.
  22. The rare case in which a filmmaker's unadulterated worship of his subjects adds force and resonance--and not just luster--to the way that we see them.

    Even Christians hip to TBN preachers' peculiar eschatology may be baffled by the incoherent wrap-up, which provides the stingiest Second Coming since the third ''Omen ''movie.
