L'Enfant (2006) |
"Does not present any convincing evidence that Bruno is either so dense or so uncaring as to be remotely capable of selling his son on a whim" |
George Wu |

L'Ennui (1998) |
"While emotion runs high, the movie runs out of dramatic steam too quickly." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
L'Iceberg (2005) |
"In stillness and frantic movement these characters somehow survive and endure. We aren't laughing out loud. But we are staring in stunned gasping delight." |
Harry Chotiner |
Tomato |
L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"The script has the type of deft plotting that made films like The Crying Game and The Usual Suspects so popular." |

Tomato |
L.I.E. (2001) |
"a film that looks at current social realities with edgy and convincing perceptivity ...a moral film in the best sense of the word" |

" |

La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"A memorable cast, vivid cinematography, crisp and resonant sound recordings, and dramatic storytelling make this a must-see film for fans and novices alike. Though, at 140 minutes, the film may feel like it runs as long as Piaf's tragically short life." |
Les Wright |
Splat 6/10 |
The Ladies Man (2000) |
"Calling The Ladies Man one of the least grating Saturday Night Live movies may be the most tepid praise imaginable, but that's the best it's going to get." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"Though the film, which runs for over two and a half hours, is at least an hour too long, there are several lovely scenes of Constance's sexual awakening that today seem more innocent than erotic, although they are frankly sexual." |
Emily S. Mendel |
Tomato |
The Lady Eve (1941) |
"Crackles with a level of wit and sexual innuendo that makes you wish they still made sex comedies for adults." |
Ben Stephens |
Splat |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"The flashiest, funniest, and most baroque of the “Vengeance Trilogy.” It is also the most simpleminded and, despite that, eventually the most muddled." |
George Wu |
Splat |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Infectious gospel music gets the film in gear again as its droopy pacing and shortage of wit threaten to drag it down to irremediable sluggishness." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Lagaan (2001) |
"It's the way the story is told, with efficiency and flair, that makes Lagaan a terrific film." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Lake of Fire (2007) |
"Kaye denies that his film has a political bias, but it does.

Lancelot of the Lake (1975) |
"Bresson strips away frippery to such an extent that it should be a coma-inducing slog, but it’s not." |
Phil Freeman |
Tomato |
Landscape (2000) |
"Sulik tells just enough, leaving room for intentional ambiguities that enhance the textured richness of his stories." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Lantana (2001) |
"Well-realized characterizations are undermined by the strained and artificial developments of the plot." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Laramie Project (2002) |
"... a workmanlike film and important in that it will reach a large audience with a story that needs to be told." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
The Last Castle (2001) |
"The Last Castle takes [a] timeworn premise and steers it down a ludicrous and obvious path to a conclusion that will have most audience members rolling their eyes in disbelief rather than cheering." |

Last Dance (2002) |
"A fascinating look into the creative process" |
Michael Wade Simpson |

The Last Days (1998) |

The Last Kiss (2002) |
"Severely compromised by its too often shrill overstatement and a length of two hours, easily a half hour more than is merited by the contents." |

Last Night (1998) |
"...a no-frills but convincing execution of the end of the world." |

Last Orders (2002) |

Late August, Early September (1998) |
"Although we cannot take our eyes off Ms. Balibar, whose performance is remarkable in its understated range of emotion, she is the only character with whom we can connect." |

Le Petit Lieutenant (2006) |
"To cut to the chase...this is a very French, understated, intelligent, slow, police procedural that ultimately engrosses and then surprises the viewer. If you don't see it in a theater, it would be a great rental. " |
Emily S. Mendel |

League of Gentlemen - The Complete Series 1 (1999) |

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |

The Libertine (2005) |
"The characters' florid, hyperbolic, elliptical, punning manner of speech rings true to the Restoration era, as both mirrored and modeled in the stage plays of the day." |
