  1. Zwart never gets the tone right in this very American comedy.
  2. There is really nothing wrong with Peter Chelsom's Town & Country that younger stars would not have solved.
  3. Nolte, at least, delivers his lines with laser accuracy, and gives The Golden Bowl the life that so much cogitation could have drained from it.
  4. We're left with virtually no insight into the appeal of a movement that lasted 30 years.
  5. If all you want is sensory overload, hop in. Driven will get you there.
  6. Doesn't probe quite as deeply as it should.
  7. Moll clearly has looked to Hitchcock and Clouzot for inspiration. There are sexual undercurrents between characters, psychological quirks and a murky veneer like the surface of the pool in "Diabolique."
  8. Beautifully shot but overly spare documentary.
  9. He (Hogan) and the other backers of the movie are betting that Dundee has been gone long enough to make him seem fresh, or -- like that old uncle -- at least welcome.
  10. Turturro's Luzhin is a cinematic soulmate of Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man and Geoffrey Rush's David Helfgott.
  11. Here’s a British spin on the familiar struggle of the couch potato who plans any minute now to get off his duff.
  12. Here’s a double-scoop for conspiracy theorists.
  13. Exhaustingly manic but curiously unfunny movie.
  14. It's only when he (Wang) slows down and allows the characters to connect emotionally that his movie's unflinching honesty takes your breath away.
  15. Students of acting will appreciate the relish with which the characters bite off juicy chunks of dialogue.

  16. A delightful and endearing romantic comedy with the shape and resonance of a Jane Austen novel.
  17. Just about every race and creed come off badly in this small-scale thriller.
  18. The characters speak in Dialogue rather than English, the actors are so busy emoting they forget to act and the story feels like a first-draft college project.
  19. How dangerous it is to be a woman in Iran, especially one going against the wishes of her menfolk, is brought home time after time in these related vignettes.
  20. Talk about waste products; think of the time, effort and money that went into this movie.
  21. One long camp joke, with vamped scenes strung together.
  22. The cartoonish characters and outsize performances don't make a smooth transition from stage to screen.
  23. It's galling to see such a low-life canonized in a film, but it's also riveting drama.
  24. Ends up a portrait through a rose-colored lens, turning a social parasite into a Greek hero.
  25. The script is so ridiculous that nothing rings true.
  26. This spirited documentary shows us the hazards of filming volleyball at nudist camps and the marketing possibilities of women mating with gorillas.
  27. The movie veers so wildly between being zany and grim, we're left feeling more empty than entertained.
  28. This powerful, compact trilogy speaks volumes about women in Iran.
  29. This pretty trifle is a movie about gorgeous women having an illicit affair -- period.
  30. The heavy subject is tempered with gentle humor.
