|---|---|---|---|
|
| " Even the least of Mr. Jacobss efforts illuminate a rare imagination." — New York Times | |
|
| Audience Of One (2009) | Audience of One follows the descent of a scrappy indie production into a full-blown fiasco and megalomaniacal folly. — New York Times |
|
| Despite a stiffness of movement that suggests an upscale take on the cutout animation of “South Park,” the movie has a terrific flair for arabesque patterning, a gemlike luminosity of surface and a handsome, classical cast of mind. — New York Times | |
|
| An American Carol (2008) | Cheap shots and mean spirits abound, as do celebrity cameos. But its the laziness of the writing that most offends. — New York Times |
|
| All of Us (2008) | " This powerful, conceptually sure film is relevant beyond the concerns of the moment as both a model of documentary method and compassionate social filmmaking." — New York Times |
|
| Another Gay Sequel (2008) | This wretched gaysploitation number is, in fact, the worst gay sequel ever. — New York Times |
|
| All In This Tea (2008) | " All in This Tea is a delicious documentary about a beverage." — New York Times |
|
| As Tears Go By (1988) | Unpersuasive as drama, Tears is the first and last Wong movie touched by any feel of the obligatory. — New York Times |
| N/A | " More than a mash note to this nonpareil maestro, Apparition circles around the mystery of music and subjectivity and touches down on a head-spinning array of topics." — Village Voice | |
|
| Allegro (2005) | " Writer-director Christoffer Boe takes himself very, very seriously. Me, not so much." — Village Voice |
|
| Ace in the Hole (1951) | " A lurid pulp indictment of exploitation, opportunism, doctored intelligence, torture for profit, insatiable greed, and shady journalism." — Village Voice |
|
| Automatons (2006) | |
|
| James Bond returns in Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, disguised as a 14-year-old boy involved in a mission so outrageously top secret that even the producers of the movie deny his true identity. — New York Times | |
|
| Aurora Borealis (2006) | " Set in dead-of-winter Minneapolis, a ready-made metaphor for (groan, shiver) the chill in Duncan's heart, the movie tells how life warms up when he goes to work at a nursing home." — New York Times |
|
| Accepted (2006) | A clever slacker and his oddball crew invent a phony college in this passable example of that oxymoronic genre, the Hollywood comedy about sticking it to the man. — New York Times |
|
| America: Freedom To Fascism (2006) | " The mess we're in never looked so messy." — New York Times |
|
| Automne (2004) | Autumn is a nearly perfect satire of the pretentious French thriller. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't know it. — New York Times |
| N/A | Animals and More Animals (1994) | The renovation of the Museum of Natural History in Paris is the subject for this beguiling documentary by Nicolas Philibert. — New York Times |
|
| An American Haunting (2006) | Things go bump in the night in this 19th-century ghost story, but it's the bump of emptying seats, as audiences flee in boredom, that will haunt you for days. — New York Times |
|
| Al Otro Lado (2006) | This infectious documentary by Natalia Almanda sings clear and strong when it sticks to translating the culture of corrido music for gringos. — New York Times |
