Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

"Blessedly, Rabbit-Proof Fence never succumbs to the trap of being merely high-minded, but succeeds as effective filmmaking in its own right, becoming a movie that is both important and good."

Race To Space (2000)

"Wow! Monkeys in orbit! Laughable non-history lesson. James Woods has the worst German accent in history"

Rachel Getting Married (2008)

"A sometimes-brilliant film that can barely stand under the weight of its self-inflicted festoonery of doo-daddery."

Radio (2003)

"If this movie was a tree in Vermont, it'd have a tap driven into it and be sporting a bucket to catch the sap."

Radioland Murders (1994)

"What were they thinking?"

Ragtime (1981)

"Fine, sprawling period piece. A great swan song for Cagney."

Rain Man (1988)

"Brazenly manipulative Oscar bait -- and it worked."

The Rains Came (1939)

"Spectacular, entertaining Hollywood craftsmanship."

Raising Arizona (1987)

"Movies like this are why the Coens are uneven"

Rambo - First Blood Pt. 2 (1985)

"Shouldn't this be called Second Blood?"

Rasputin and the Empress (1932)

"Splendidly stylish, often terrifying with great turns by all the Barrymores."

Ratboy (1986)

"Astonishing what you can do if you're Clint Eastwood's girlfriend."

The Raven (1963)

"Amusing horror parody notable mostly for its stars."

The Razor's Edge (1946)

"Glossy, effective version of the Maugham novel."

Re-Animator (1985)

"Brilliant horror-comedy. Still Gordon's best."

Ready to Wear (1994)

"Altman's much-maligned comedy about the fashion industry deserves another look."

Reality Bites (1993)

"So hip it makes your teeth hurt."

The Reaping (2007)

"The posters pose the question, 'What hath God wrought?' --and apparently answer themselves by having Hilary Swank's name placed beneath the question. Similar mirth follows."

Rebecca (1940)

"Gorgeously mounted, but overlong Hitchcock film."

Rebound (2005)

"Exposure to Rebound will not require immediate medical attention – but you could say that about a plate of tofu. That doesn't mean there's any reason to seek it out."

Red (1994)

"A truly remarkable film -- nothing short of a masterpiece."

Red Dust (1932)

"Delightfully raunchy pre-code romantic drama"

Red Planet Mars (1952)

"Tedious McCarthyesque nonsense as sci-fi."

The Red Violin (1998)

"The story lines, while having little direct connection to historical events, are obviously grounded in musical and artistic legend."

Redbelt (2008)

"A pretty good picture turned into something like a really good picture by virtue of Chiwetel Ejiofor's performance."
