Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten	Fresh 72%	The Road (2009)	" Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize�winning, Oprah-endorsed, post-apocalyptic survivalist prose poem... was a quick, lacerating read. John Hillcoat's literal adaptation is, by contrast, a long, dull slog." — Village Voice Posted Nov 25, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Rembrandt's J'accuse (2009)	" Peering beneath the painted surface and searching in the shadows, tracking that which was cut from the canvas and mapping the network of glances that remain, the filmmaker uncovers a foul, lurid, corrupt, and perversely compelling conspiracy." — Village Voice Posted Oct 20, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 73%	Rudo and Cursi (2009)	" Energetic fun." — Village Voice Posted May 5, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 34%	Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)	" So embarrassing that, for the first time, I wanted to avert my eyes from the screen, although that might have also been because Repo! appears to have been shot with a cell phone." — Village Voice Posted Nov 5, 2008
Rotten	Fresh 69%	Religulous (2008)	" Religulous doesn't really go anywhere. It's ultimately a celebration of the old-time religion we call entertainment." — Village Voice Posted Oct 3, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 66%	The Romance of Astrea and Celadon (2007)	" The movie's gravity has the effect of raising Rohmer's career-long concerns to cosmic heights." — Village Voice Posted Aug 13, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Razzle Dazzle: The Lost World (2008)	" Once more into the breach, Ken Jacobs further explores the ground zero of cinematic representation." — Village Voice Posted Jun 25, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 68%	Redbelt (2008)	" With his 10th feature -- an entertaining tale of high-stakes martial arts -- Mamet has infused the sleight of hand with a measure of two-fisted action." — Village Voice Posted Apr 29, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 37%	Rambo (2008)	" As the current obsession with Reagan suggests, it's back to fantasyland!" — Village Voice Posted Jan 29, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 44%	Redacted (2007)	" *The most authentic thing about Redacted* is the rage with which it was made.*" — Village Voice* Posted Nov 13, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Rescue Dawn (2007)	" *As conventionally framed and lit as it is, Rescue Dawn* is the closest thing to a 'real' movie that Herzog has ever made.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jul 5, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Regular Lovers (2005)	" Garrel is not just an artless aesthete, he is unexpectedly and intensely romantic -- imagining and realizing a character who can die for love." — Village Voice Posted Jan 16, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 86%	The Road to Guantanamo (2006)	" *Although the Tiptons are ultimately unbroken after two years in prison camp, The Road to Guant�namo* is one of the most oppressive accounts of life in a military detention.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jun 20, 2006
Fresh	N/A	La Revue des revues (1927)	" [Baker's] clownish backfield-in-motion Charleston shimmy is unlike anything else in the movie and perhaps unlike anything else anyone ever did." — Village Voice Posted Feb 14, 2006
—	Fresh 90%	The Raven (1963)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Aug 19, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 87%	Real Life (1979)	" Albert Brooks's first and funniest feature." — Village Voice Posted Apr 12, 2005
Fresh	N/A	Red Hollywood (1995)	" Makes a significant (and entertaining) contribution to the saga of the blacklist." — Village Voice Posted Mar 15, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 76%	Reconstruction (2004)	" Boe is able -- barely -- to have things both ways. 'It is all film,' the narrator concludes. 'Even so, it hurts.'" — Village Voice Posted Sep 7, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 83%	Red Lights (2004)	" A satisfyingly well-wrought, old-school thriller: Character drives the plot, literally." — Village Voice Posted Aug 31, 2004
—	Fresh 67%	Raja (2004)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Mar 24, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 96%	The Return (2004)	" Primordial and laconic, this remarkably assured debut feature has the elegant simplicity of its title." — Village Voice Posted Feb 3, 2004
Fresh	Fresh 98%	The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003)	" Bartley and O'Briain do an excellent job in deconstructing the Venezuelan TV news footage of blood, chaos, and rival crowds." — Village Voice Posted Nov 4, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 96%	Raising Victor Vargas (2003)	" Tender and funny." — Village Voice Posted Mar 25, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 88%	Russian Ark (2002)	" Blithely anachronistic and slyly achronological." — Village Voice Posted Nov 26, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 60%	R-Xmas (2002)	" Ferrara's strongest and most touching movie of recent years." — Village Voice Posted Nov 19, 2002
Fresh	Rotten 44%	The Rules of Attraction (2002)	" Avary's crisp adaptation imbues the copious bad sex and general befuddlement of Bret Easton Ellis's solemn, echt '80s Bennington novel with a playfully obnoxious energy that is often funny and ... almost fun." — Village Voice Posted Oct 15, 2002
Rotten	Fresh 82%	Road to Perdition (2002)	" Mendes still doesn't quite know how to fill a frame. Like the Hanks character, he's a slow study: The action is stilted and the tabloid energy embalmed." — Village Voice Posted Jul 11, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 97%	Read My Lips (2002)	" The movie shifts from workplace melodrama to neo-noir to deadly romantic caper with a bracing absence of cuteness." — Village Voice Posted Jul 2, 2002
Fresh	Fresh 79%	The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)	" May not be the movie of the year, but it is a seasonal gift to us all." — Village Voice Posted Dec 11, 2001
Fresh	Rotten 52%	Rock Star (2001)	" It has a comical sense of history and seems perfectly aware that it is recounting a myth." — Village Voice Posted Sep 11, 2001
—	Rotten 42%	Ravenous (1999)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 100%	Rear Window (1954)	" Restored to its original Technicolor grandeur!" — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Fresh 62%	Ride with the Devil (1999)	" *Given the flat performances and Schamus's overexplanatory script, Ride With the Devil* has the feel of undergraduate costume drama.*" — Village Voice* Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 93%	Rififi (1954)	" Features posturing aplenty -- particularly if you include the climactic gunfire arabesques. No one, however, has nearly the doomed glamour of the tight-lipped, gimlet-eyed, consumptive Tony Le St�phanois." — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
—	Fresh 85%	Rosetta (1999)	Click here to read article — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Fresh 64%	Rounders (1998)	" A disappointing mediocrity." — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Run Lola Run (1999)	" ...a sort of power-pop variation on the mystical time-bending Euro-art movies made by the late Krzysztof Kieslowski." — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Rushmore (1998)	" The sensibility is in no way derivative, although the friendly score and engagingly quirky performances suggest the warm, puppy-dog humanism of a young Jonathan Demme." — Village Voice Posted Jan 1, 2000
