  1. A mixed bag, all in all (casting Huey Lewis was not the best idea), but worth seeing.
  2. You'll treasure this movie.
  3. A tiny slice of bleak, black near-perfection.
  4. I'm not sure how elaborately I could defend Pola X, but I loved watching it.
  5. A terrific piece of neo-realistic filmmaking.

  6. If you're already a huge fan of any of these artists, this film will be a lovefest. For all others, it's a mild diversion at best.
  7. This fantasy-tinged romance leaves a distinctly bitter aftertaste.
  8. A dismal new serial-killer thing.
  9. Flawed at its very core.
  10. We're forced to listen to misogynistic rantings devoid of wit, entertainment value, or even authenticity.
  11. Authentic contemporary heroine.
  12. Borderline incoherent.

    Given the enormous praise, the film falls short.
  13. Ambitious and perversely fascinating.
  14. Enough pep in this picture to make it rise above teen-movie expectations.

    There's nothing terribly wrong with the movie, but nothing terribly right about it either.
  15. In many ways the indie equivalent of your average multiplex action picture: fun and forgettable.
  16. Slick, polished to perfection, derivative and stripped of any of the real quirks or idiosyncrasies that make a romantic comedy fly.
  17. A pleasant surprise that The Crew offers up the charms it does.
  18. Fascinating noir, which will long be remembered for its extraordinary lead performance by Catherine Deneuve.

  19. A fascinating portrayal.
  20. A two-hour slice --of comedy pie.
  21. Not quite Abbie.
  22. What makes The Cell worth viewing at all is the carefully sculpted imagery.
  23. Has its dull spots, and is unintentionally laugh-out-loud funny at times -- but isn't that what we expect?
  24. Far from the worst film this summer, but it also doesn't rate strong enough to be a future video rental.
  25. Hamstrung by a script that is too often smug, obvious and self-important.
  26. Merely reconfigures the same predictable gross-out jokes, sentimental platitudes, and decorative sex that figure into half the screenplays in circulation.
  27. A very small film, as they say in the movie business, but its stylish suspensefulness is nicely leavened by Connell's obvious, and welcome, love for his hapless characters.
  28. When the film is sexy, it's truly sexy, assuming that you believe sexiness has something to do with the exploration of a connection between people.
