Machuca (2005) |
"The film succeeds...in fleshing out the central characters, lending credence to their personal experience of historically sweeping events" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"It would be easy to carp over the shortcomings of the film...The charm and ebullience of the kids...make the film work...Nobody walks out at the end without a great big smile." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Mad Love (2001) |
"More successful at relating history than in creating an emotionally complex, dramatically satisfying heroine" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Madame Butterfly (1995) |
"great art, transcendently moving" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |

Tom Block |
Tomato |
The Majestic (2001) |
"A warm and loving ode to the magic of film and the golden age of movie making." |
Bob Aulert |
Splat 6/10 |
Maléna (2000) |
"A featherweight that might well blow right off the screen were it not anchored in place by a few darker undercurrents." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
The Man from London (2008) |
"The Man From London is the latest example of an utterly distinctive vision, baleful and radiant, as voluptuous as it is bleak." |
Matt Yeager |
Tomato |
Man of the Century (1999) |
"Triumphs through sheer goofy charm." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Splat |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"State-of-the-art Hollywood production...Unfortunately, it also represents the nadir of Hollywood pandering to audience tastes for ever more titillating violence." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat 2/10 |
Man on the Moon (1999) |
"What's saddest about this film is the impact it's likely to have on Kaufman's legacy." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"Leconte suggests the natural yearning for a broader experience, for breaking out of the patterns into which a life tends to fall." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Man Push Cart (2006) |
"A sad, powerful, austere experience of a movie, this is the story of a man who has known profound, compound loss." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
The Man Who Cried (2001) |
"Failed though it may be as serious fare, 'The Man Who Cried' remains a guilty pleasure" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) |
"The product of a master in his prime." |
Bob Aulert |
Splat |
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"Even for longtime Coen fans, this is a movie that isn't all there." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) |
"Proves that drug stories aren't exclusively the territory of hip, nihilistic '90s film-school wunderkinder." |
Phil Freeman |
Tomato |
The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"Without question, one of the finest films to be released this year...consummate filmmaking" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) |
"Still well worth a look, its reliance on the events of its time has undeniably diluted its power." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Nothing gets in the way of a great story, well told, one which manages to slip in a few political digs without losing sight of its mission as popular suspense entertainment." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Manderlay (2006) |
"[Von Trier] has imbued the material with enough dramatic power and relevance that despite its many flaws, it is still essential viewing." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Mango Yellow (2002) |
"Assis stretches his characters up to and perhaps beyond the edge of reality. In their extremes, he suggests a malaise infecting Brazil." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Manhattan (1979) |
"The layers of self-awareness and self-referentiality at the heart of this film are dizzying." |
Ben Stephens |
Tomato |
Manito (2003) |

Mansfield Park (1999) |
"One of the best movies of the year." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Manufactured Landscapes (2007) |
""Manufactured Landscapes" is long on heart and short on brains. The result is a technically dazzling film with its heart in the right place. But it's just too thoughtless to become fine art." |
Harry Chotiner |
Splat |
A Map of the World (1999) |
"The result of what happens when a pedestrian director shoots a tone-deaf script." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
March of the Penguins (2005) |
"Both astonishing and rather painful" |
Janos Gereben |
Tomato |
Margaret Cho - Assassin (2005) |

Les Wright |
Tomato |
Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"Draws the viewer step-by-step into the seemingly ineluctable fate of the "mules"--beasts of burden caught in the trap of poverty without opportunity." |

Tomato |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"As a serious film, only an American could love Marie Antoinette. To the French, it must be gravely insulting. As an unwitting camp, it may have a great future." |

Married Life (2008) |
" ... with its superb cast, its literate screenplay ... and noteworthy direction, [Married Life] is that long overdue adult film we've been waiting for." |

Master of the Flying Guillotine (1975) |
"One of the preeminent examples of 1970s kung fu pulp." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Masterpiece Theatre - Me and Mrs. Jones (2002) |
"a very British sex-and-politics farce" |
Les Wright |
Splat |
The Matador (2005) |
"A bit of mangled genre splicing, a tongue-in-cheek study of the old pro who knows he is losing his touch mixed with some rather middle-brow Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis style comedy." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
Match Point (2005) |
"Charming, intriguing, spell-binding" |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"Scott...delivers a competent commercial entertainment which will probably please the crowds at the megaplexes, but is essentially unremarkable." |
Arthur Lazere |

The Matrix (1999) |
"...peppered with good looking special effects, is designed in stylishly noir decor, and is generally well paced." |

Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) |
"July's fertile imagination fills [the film] with incidents, many of which are charming and perceptive, some of which fall embarassingly flat." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Me Without You (2002) |
"The characters, cast in impossibly contrived situations, are totally estranged from reality." |
