O'Horten (2009) |
"I like a wry, deadpan social comedy as much as the next person, but I need a little more than O'Horten's minimalist palette to get me going." |
Beverly Berning |
Tomato |
O.K. (1970) |
"The anti-American sentiment of the day that is set up in the story, based on outrage at the American ‘war of imperialism’ in Vietnam, is turned back on German audiences." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
Obachan's Garden (2001) |

Ocean's Eleven (2001) |

Off the Black (2006) |
""Off the Black" is writer/director James Ponsoldt's first movie...When I found out how young Ponsoldt is, only twenty-six, I was shocked that someone so young could have such insight into, and such empathy for, the existential disquietude of middle age." |
Beverly Berning |
Tomato |

Ben Stephens |
Tomato |
Oldboy (2005) |

George Wu |

One Hour Photo (2002) |
"Lacking [intellectual interest] and lacking the thrills, "One Hour Photo" is more like an underexposed snapshot." |

One Night at McCool's (2001) |
"Throws jokes at the audience like alms for the poor; unfortunately, they’re all pennies." |
Tom Block |

The One-Armed Swordsman (1967) |
"One of the essential classics of Hong Kong cinema." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2005) |
"The only reason to see it is for the action. In that arena, on a scale from 1 to 10, it’s a 20.

Open Hearts (2003) |
"Written and acted with intelligence, sensitivity, and insight" |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Open Range (2003) |
"Costner delivers black-and-white simplifications -- the unequivocally right, justified in doing whatever they want against the demonized wrong. It's a film for the George W. Bush era." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Open Your Eyes (1997) |
"Banish any thought that this might be a thoughtful or insightful parable; it simply doesn't get under the surface enough to sustain that level of discourse." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Orange County (2002) |
"Consistently funny and surprisingly inventive, it...serves up a much more rewarding stew than the swill normally targeted at 13-24 year olds." |
Bob Aulert |
Splat |
Orphan of Anyang (2002) |
"For most movies, 84 minutes is short, but this one feels like a life sentence." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
The Orphanage (2007) |
"Anyone who enjoys a good scare - and a good conversation - should see, and enjoy this latest addition to the Jamesian tradition of intelligent horror." |
Pamela Troy |
Splat |
Orphans (1997) |
"...a kitchen-sink drama that’s full of old dishwater." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
Orwell Rolls In His Grave (2004) |
"The persuasion of Pappas’ argument lies in the accumulation of original documentation, allowing the political perps to condemn themselves with their own words." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Osama (2003) |
"Focuses more on the relentless hardships and suffering than on the characters experiencing them." |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Osmosis Jones (2001) |
"Don’t expect the usual Farrelly broad brush and grade-school animal humor, but instead prepare for acerbic wit and sly asides delivered in rapid fashion." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
The Others (2001) |
"[Kidman's performance turns] Amenábar's simple genre piece into a suggestive fairy tale meditation on mothers and their children." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
Our Lady of the Assassins (2001) |
"Death in Venice with 9mm Berettas...one of the best of Barbet Schroeder's career" |

"A damning and thorough indictment of Fox News’s dishonest reporting" |
Chris Pepus |

The Outsider (2002) |
"It is the casting of Naomi Watts as Rebecca Yoder that makes the film a singular affair." |
Jerry Weinstein |
Splat |
Owning Mahowny (2003) |
"It's Hoffman's character study that centers the film..., but failing any real interest in the investigative side of the story, it does tend to lag noticeably in midpoint." |
