Rating Title Year Quote Author

Splat

V For Vendetta (2005)

"Important plot points are treated in a rushed, perfunctory manner and what could have been a fascinating parable about tyranny, terrorism, and the sheer charisma of violence becomes just another series of bloody fight scenes."

Pamela Troy

Tomato

Valentin (2004)

"Shown strictly from Valentin's point of view...but without an ounce of condescension, and the result is often lovely."

Kendal Dodge Butler

Tomato

Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)

"In this time of economic distress, watching the twilight of Valentino's enormous success, and the extravagant lifestyle it funded, doesn't feel like it's worth a lot of tears."

Beverly Berning

Tomato

The Valet (2007)

"Francis Veber, the writer and director of The Valet is a master of French comedy...To cut to the chase, The Valet est un comédie plaisant et léger, mais il n'est pas mémorable du tout."

Emily S. Mendel

Tomato

The Valet (2007)

"An entertaining and amusing fluff of a film."

Emily S. Mendel

Splat

Van Helsing (2004)

"More closely resembles the disappointing, overwrought monster rallies of the 1940's than the subtle, chilling classics of the early ’30s. "

Chris Pepus

Splat

Vanilla Sky (2001)

"Writer/director Crowe's screenplay is quite faithful to the original story, but he makes a confusing story even more so."

Bob Aulert

Splat

Vanity Fair (2004)

"A 'Vanity Fair' with a half-realized Becky Sharp is, in the end, a Vanity Unsatisfactory. "

Arthur Lazere

Tomato

Vantage Point (2008)

"Vantage Point is a smart film with a complex plot and lots of action. That's not a typical combination"

Emily S. Mendel

Tomato

Veloma (2001)

"combine[s] skilled storytelling and emotional nuance with great economy of dialogue"

Arthur Lazere

Splat

Vengo (2001)

"As good as the music is, the overall film only suggests what a flamenco drama might be, leaving the viewer hungry for a more fulfilling realization of the concept."

Arthur Lazere

Tomato
7/10

Venus Beauty Institute (2000)

Gary Mairs

Tomato

Vera Drake (2004)

"A piercing study...gritty, humane."

Jesse Paddock

Splat

Very Annie Mary (2001)

"Even Griffiths can't rescue this porridge of a picture. "

Arthur Lazere

Splat

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"There's such an excess of plot and detail that characterization is neglected--none of these characters is more than single-dimensional..."

Arthur Lazere

Tomato

Videodrome (1983)

"By the time it reaches its...inevitable-feeling conclusion, 'Videodrome' has become more than a mere horror film--it's an indictment of everyone represented by its characters."

Phil Freeman

Tomato

Village of the Damned (1960)

"Can still make contemporary audiences squirm in their seats."

Les Wright

Tomato

Vincere (2009)

"This is one of those films that make you so wonderfully aware of the art of filmmaking, when key elements such as acting, photography, music and set magically come together."

Paula Farmer

Tomato

La Virgen de la Lujuria (2000)

"A grandly-scaled allegory that is at once fascinating, captivating, and utterly audacious"

Arthur Lazere

Tomato

The Virgin Suicides (1999)

"It will resonate with anyone who's ever gone through adolescence. It ranks with the very best films of the year."

Bob Aulert

Tomato

The Visit (2000)

"The acting carries the scenes and Walker-Pearlman's dialogue and screenplay make for an auspicious debut"

Arthur Lazere

Tomato

The Visitor (2008)

"If McCarthy is the divinity of the universe he creates, its patron saint is Frank Capra ... The primordial truth about Capra's and McCarthy's characters is that if you scratch beneath the surface, just about everyone is decent."

Harry Chotiner

Tomato

Volver (2006)

"It is an impossible hybrid, (in the words of at least one observer) an epic comedy."

Les Wright
