American Movie (1999) |
"When a film feels this rooted and comfortable with itself, it's hard to assail its faults -- in this case, a steadfast refusal to handle its characters with anything other than heart-shaped kid gloves." |

American Pimp (1999) |
"A surprising -- and surprisingly non-salacious -- non-fiction treat. It's a credit to the Hughes brothers that viewers leave with a much grayer picture of what an American pimp is all about." |

An American Rhapsody (2001) |
"Just another faux-weepy drama told with a standard fetishistic immigrant’s sentimentality." |

American Splendor (2003) |
"An immensely entertaining but somewhat featherweight movie about Harvey Pekar, an art gallery snapshot of what is in and of itself a more interesting native composition." |
Brent Simon |
Splat C- |
American Wedding (2003) |
"A slightly bloated, entertaining-in-patches paycheck comedy that tries just hard enough to escape full excoriation; the Vegas years lounge act of its younger, more vital self." |

Amy's O (2002) |
"A movie that harps on media-constructed 'issues' like whether compromise is the death of self… this Orgasm [won't be an] exceedingly memorable one for most people." |

The Anarchist Cookbook (2003) |
"Think of it as Fight Club Lite; the film may not fully explain Generation-Next ennui but it
does have is a winning immediacy and agreeableness -- and Gummersall, who... delivers a crisp performance." |
Brent Simon |
Splat F |
Anatomy of Hell (2004) |
"Issues of sexual commitment, fidelity and self-worth are graphically explored with the torpid detachment of a psych major’s filmic send-up of a Calvin Klein commercial..." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"I could have used more smarm and crisply delineated battle-of-sexes confrontation, but Ferrell’s overwrought mania and wholesale comedic devotion again sell the laffs." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato B |
Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"A cinematic tone poem that asks viewers to reexamine their relationship with both the word 'art' and the forms that we’ve sanctioned for its exploration and expression." |

Animal Factory (2000) |
"We may have seen this type of Animal before, but Furlong and Dafoe's work -- and Buscemi’s honest, caring touch with these fringe-dwellers -- make it seem fresh." |

The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"A raw yet relaxed film buff’s film... a wittier, recast version of one of your own dinner parties, with enough high drama to keep the guests talking for quite a while." |

Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"A solidly-acted action-drama hybrid whose cartoonish asides largely undermine the greater subtext." |

Anything But Love (2003) |
"Obvious, but sweet-tempered and lovingly put together enough to generally trump such shortcomings. For fans of breezy, feel-good fare only." |

Arthur Dong: Family Fundamentals |
"So many documentaries like this presuppose religious bigotry or zealous nuttiness of its antagonists, but Family Fundamentals displays a rare gift for unflinching impartiality." |

Ash Wednesday (2002) |
"Burns' fifth beer-soaked film feels in almost every possible way -- from the writing and direction to the soggy performances -- tossed off." |
Brent Simon |
Splat C- |
Assassination Tango (2003) |
"Irresolute and underdeveloped, this movie has two ideas smushed together without a disciplined evaluation of what they mean to each other and where they fit. It's a character study that isn’t more than skin deep." |
