  1. Smart, psychologically complex film is an offbeat and effective tale.
  2. A deeply felt, if occasionally amateurish, journey through some very affecting terrain.
  3. Hard to take stone-cold sober.
  4. Explores the comparatively enlightened Berlin culture that had allowed homosexuality to flourish in intellectual and social circles before the Nazis forcibly changed the national mind-set.
  5. A great movie -- and the best movie ever about the '70s rock era.
  6. A confused, empty, only occasionally funny mess of a movie.
  7. Frenzied, gothic nonsense.
  8. Good intentions abound in this earnest debut film.
  9. It's an amazing slice-of-life story that will make you want to rush home and hug the kids.

  10. While their often-unclothed bodies are visible, their faces are replaced with digital "buttons" saying things like "Your ad here."
  11. A black comedy that features Renee Zellweger as the most adorable psychiatric-trauma victim ever.
  12. A simple story that resonates deeply, largely thanks to the actors' ability to invest it with inner life.
  13. The movie is paint-by-numbers with several numbers skipped.
  14. Normally, I'd recommend a movie like this only to diehard fans. But even they may want to wait until it hits cable.
  15. Profoundly depressing.
  16. She (Walters) may be working with old news, but she shores up this shaky film with a heart the size of an ocean liner.
  17. Remarkable first film.
  18. A hackneyed movie of zero social, political or dramatic consequence.
  19. Clever, slightly edgy fun.
  20. Watching the movie felt like any number of bad blind dates.
  21. It's not so much good material as divinely inspired delivery.
  22. An admiring but overly simplified walk down memory lane.
  23. Disturbing, visually stunning thriller.
  24. For devout fans of the greenish monster and for those looking to shoot fish in a barrel.
  25. Should have sold its soul for a little help in the script department.
  26. Not so much a movie as a self-contained world for like-minded people who wear their outsider status on their sleeves.
  27. You might want to sit out this season.
  28. Enjoyable, intelligent little heist movie.
  29. Less a movie than a very expensive display of Afro wigs and macrame wall hangings.
  30. Manages to jerk more than a few tears at all the right moments.
