Dancing at Lughnasa (1998) |
"[Director] O'Connor exercises both admirable restraint and disciplined editing. The camera's eye brings us painterly beauty in the harsh Irish landscape." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"Darfur Now has drawn criticism for its artless construction, and while it's true, he knows to step aside and let the passion of his subjects shine through." |
Philip Huang |
Tomato |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"A good cop movie that hints at how much more it could have been." |
Gary Mairs |
Splat |
Dark City (1998) |
"Lots of style here, not nearly enough substance" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
" ... director Christopher Nolan's much-hyped, long awaited second entry in the Batman franchise is not only fabulous and the best film of the summer, it's possibly the best film of the year, a guaranteed mammoth hit." |
Sura Wood |
Tomato |
Das Boot (1982) |
"By far [Petersen's] best film." |
|
Tomato |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Intelligent and gripping version that wields the same sledge-hammer horror and wit as the original" |
Pamela Troy |
Splat |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"The plot contrivances on display are so silly that the theme is hard to take seriously on any rational level." |
George Wu |
Splat |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"A failed attempt at stylization, lacking the consistency of view and approach that would knit the parts together into a cohesive whole. But, oh, those songs!" |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season (2003) |
"The ghoulish musings are endless and, when the gallows humor starts to fly, tasteless as well." |
Lewis Whittington |
Tomato |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"Emotional responses are in keeping with the characterizations, and well-written dialogue... helps sustain a reality that the turns of plot constantly threaten." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Dear Wendy (2005) |
"A pastiche of Hollywood western themes and characters woven into a modern-day morality play about the mystique of handguns in America...as seen from a distant European mirror" |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
A Death in the Family (2002) |
"Doesn't aim as high as the novel, but it succeeds overall in its quiet competence and modest intentions." |
Bob Wake |
Tomato |
Death of a President (2006) |
"There is little of the fall of the Twin Towers trauma, but much of All the President's Men here. That this film's buzz has launched such vitriol and condemnation is not surprising. Range's film exposes wider audiences to some basic truths of our times." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"Collapses under its own meager weight." |
Bob Aulert |
Splat |
A Decade Under the Influence (2003) |
"A breezy but incomplete valentine to the most fertile period in American film" |
Tom Block |
Tomato 9/10 |
The Decline of Western Civilization III (1998) |
"There's nothing funny at all in the relentless final hour of Decline of Western Civilization III, just grim episodes in the lives of abandoned children." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
The Deep End (2001) |
"A spare and stylish thriller that intrigues with intelligence rather than cheap shocks." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
A Delicate Balance (1973) |
"Laden with insight, wit and touches of poetry... a cast of masterful actors delivering peak performances" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Delirious (2007) |
"Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt are easily the best odd couple the movies have seen since Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon." |
Beverly Berning |
Splat |
Demonlover (2003) |
"A film so chic you should see it right now, because it will start looking dated sometime next week." |
Gary Mairs |
Splat |
Derailed (2005) |
"The comic-book fantasy world of some fourteen-year-old boy, the normative demographic target the film is scripted to appeal to." |

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"An amazing, mind-boggling, disturbing, hilarious, and utterly moving and unforgettable film experience" |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"It is the fashionista ethic, as embodied in the Priestly character, that keeps 'The Devil Wears Prada' fascinating--like turning over a rock and watching the worms crawling about underneath." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
"No more and no less than a story of terror well-told." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
"The movie’s violence is used to explore the ties of family, both by blood and by bonds of personal history." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Dial M for Murder (1954) |
"A rare and accomplished example of the work of Hitchcock the Minimalist." |
Ben Stephens |
Tomato |
Diary of a Chambermaid (1964) |
"Buñuel's is a darkly acute view, occasionally relieved by sardonic Swiftian humor and forgiving only of the innocence of childhood." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Dick (1999) |
"The film gets off on the wrong foot and never recovers." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
Die Another Day (2002) |
"The formula is still in place, properly mixed and sufficiently varied to keep the fans happy for a couple of hours." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
The Dinner Game (1998) |
"The targets are the obvious ones, the turnabouts are fairly predictable, the wit is thin." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Dinosaur (2000) |
"The audience is left with a beautiful setting populated by predictable and largely uninteresting characters." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
Dirty Pictures (2000) |
"a credible and dramatic statement despite the weakness in the screenplay" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) |
"Makes an eloquent case for the plight of illegals, a message delivered without preaching, but couched in the form of first-class movie entertainment." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Dish (2001) |
"A quietly moving film that delights in small things." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
Distant (2004) |
"The question for many viewers will be whether this skillful exposition of urban alienation offers sufficient new insight...to justify a bleak and utterly joyless two hours." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
District B13 (2006) |
"Delivers a cogent, well-told story, with a bit of social significance underpinning, plus a series of sequences that should satisfy the action fans." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Diva (1981) |
"Jean-Jacques Beniex's bold experiment is worth a place of importance in cinematic history." |
Beverly Berning |
Tomato |
Divine Intervention (2003) |
"Biting irony and an unusual combination of grounded reality and quirky fantasy, occasionally slipping into puzzling obscurity." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) |
" It is a work of art, with no apologies for that word." |
Harry Chotiner |
Splat |
Le Divorce (2003) |
"Not sparkling enough for comedy, not compelling enough for drama, 'Le Divorce' gets mired down trying to be both. It's a bland pudding trying to be a chocolate soufflé." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Do the Right Thing (1989) |
"It's a vibrant, passionate, funny movie, and like a true work of art, it both surprises and provokes." |
Paul De Angelis |
Tomato |
The Docks of New York (1928) |
"Ravishing mood and atmosphere, sensual photography" |
George Wu |
