Desperately unfunny.

Two things make this film slightly more interesting than its American B-movie equivalents. There's the artless way it shows the French state exercising its power and the charisma of French stars.

Pandaemonium plays like a bus-and-truck version of such Ken Russell's '60s classics as "The Music Lovers."

Hilarious French farce.

One bad movie -- in the original sense of the word.

Courageous, convincing performance by Dunst.

Audiences may find that the deliberate, Kubrickesque pacing -- without his intellectual rigor -- causes them to tune out.

One of those French films whose makers won't lower themselves to tell a story in a way that is entertaining or compelling.

Never much more than hagiography that lets the context of its hero's death remain confused.

Sometimes gets repetitive and is slightly overlong. But it's got solid performances.

Its plot and political symbolism manage to be both over-familiar and confusingly muddled.

Demonstrates that sometimes letting subjects and the facts speak for themselves can be quietly devastating.

Vastly more explicit (be warned) and intelligent (than "Angel Eyes"). It also leads to much darker - and more interesting - places.

A fascinating snapshot of contemporary teenagers.

Better than any automobile flick put out by Hollywood in a while and, thanks to some genuinely exciting moments, it is easily the most entertaining so far of this summer's big, brainless action movies.

Wholesome entertainment that will please the under-10 crowd without boring their parents.

A summer delight that also provides a quick cultural education.

Self-righteous, economically illiterate and sometimes flatly dishonest.

Resolves the romantic dilemma in the most artificial and unsatisfying way. A blaring swing score and some obvious dubbing do little to ease the pain.

Begins exceptionally well. Indeed, for at least its first half it's an unusually thoughtful, admirably underplayed piece of work of disorienting, rather harsh realism that builds its mysteries in pleasurably oblique and unpredictable ways.

Sweet, funny, well-acted and nicely shot on locations in the south of France -- but on the dull side overall.

If bluegrass were as static and dull as this concert film indicates, Nashville would have hustled all the hillbillies back to the Smokies long ago.

Essential viewing for anyone who cares about American popular music and its roots.

The effects are cheesy, the photography is murky, the sets look like leftovers from a Las Vegas stage spectacular -- and the flick appears to have been edited with a roulette wheel.

It's a totally inept and unfunny parody of the TV show "Cops."

Marker's documentary, shot on video, uses interviews, film clips and shots of Tarkovsky on the set to examine the Russian's work.

A smart, funny, stylish and very violent British gangster movie.

iIt is clear that it would have benefited from black-and-white cinematography. And the melodramatic musical soundtrack is annoying and unnecessary.
