L'Enfant (2006)

"L'Enfant marks the first time that [the Dardennes] seem interested in projecting more than just art-school indifference."

La Strada (1954)

"A fairly straightforward story whose poignancy is accentuated by Masina's delicate performance and Nino Rota's exquisite score."

Ladder 49 (2004)

"If there's an original moment in this tedious drama, I must have been rubbing my eyes for a nanosecond and missed it."

Lady in the Water (2006)

"It's a dud, at once ridiculous and risible."

The Lake House (2006)

"It's hard to recall a recent picture in which Bullock has been allowed to draw upon her natural charisma... After about 20 minutes, you just wish somebody would tickle her."

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

"The pace can best be described as similar to crawling through quicksand with two broken legs and a refrigerator strapped to your back."

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

"The sheer force of Whitaker's performance guarantees that he remains the central focus even when he's not in front of the camera. Paradoxically, you can't take your eyes off him, even when he's not there."

The Last Kiss (2006)

"To a startling degree, this version retains many of the prickly elements that made the original so memorable."

The Last of Sheila (1973)

"The Last of Sheila is so intricately scripted that Sondheim and Perkins actually drop clues throughout the film that can be picked up by attentive viewers."

Laura (1944)

"A genuine classic -- not only of film noir but of film, period."

Laws of Attraction (2004)

"[Brosnan and Moore are] an engaging team, which makes it all the more frustrating that they're let down by a trite screenplay."

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)

"Carrey delivers a disappointing performance, the sort of calculated turn we had come to routinely expect from Robin Williams until his recent dramatic awakening."

Les Destinees (2002)

"An empty shell of an epic rather than the real deal."

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)

"War movies used to be a dime-a-dozen in Hollywood... Here's one that manages to come along at the right time."

Libeled Lady (1936)

"Earns its keep simply for the moment when Loy, expecting Powell to describe her eyes in gushing terms, is instead startled when he remarks that they look like "angry marbles.""

License To Wed (2007)

"Robin Williams has made so many one-star comedies that it's impossible to keep count at this point. But rest assured that there's a multiplex in hell that screens them on a perpetual loop."

The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)

"Just ignore the critics -- in this case, we don't know what we're talking about."

Lilo & Stitch (2002)

"Stitch's antics eventually grow tiresome -- it's more fun to watch the old Warner Bros. toon gang get wild and crazy than this Gremlins toss-off..."

Line King, The: The Al Hirschfeld Story (1996)

"He was Forrest Gump with an IQ, a decent person who stood on the sidelines of practically every artistic renaissance this country experienced over [much] of the 20th century."

Lions for Lambs (2007)

"Say this for Hollywood: At least it's trying to inject some semblance of sane debate into the Iraq War debacle ... But do its recruitment tools have to be so ineffectual?"

Little Black Book (2004)

"Focus on the excellent performances by Holly Hunter and Julianne Nicholson, the primary reasons this mean-spirited comedy can be tolerated at all."

Little Man (2006)

"I'm not saying an R rating would have necessarily made Little Man a better movie, but at least it would have made it a more honest one."

The Lives of Others (2006)

"Pan's Labyrinth deserved to win the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar, of course, but the Academy's selection of The Lives of Others hardly qualifies as an outrage."

The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
