Waking Life (2001) |
"Beautiful, weird, intellectual and riff-happy... best served by single serving, scene-by-scene acceptance." |

Waking the Dead (2000) |
"A dead-on rumination of love and loss... [that] suggests a delicate painting come to life or a bunch of wistful old Polaroids scattered on a living room floor." |

Walking Tall (2004) |
"There are movies of uncomplicated simian enjoyment and there’s Walking Tall, in which a stirring courtroom defense culminates with the dramatic ripping open of a shirt." |

Wasabi (2002) |
"Slight, but colorful and forward-moving... Wasabi has the cheeky verve and heart of a shaggy dog movie that is aiming to please its owner, nothing more, nothing less." |

We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) |
"Well acted and designed of a piece [but] too diffident and emotionally murky to elicit a sustained reaction. The movie could have benefited from a more proactive script." |

Welcome to Mooseport (2004) |
"Prima facie evidence of Hollywood’s virtual January-February non-compete clause... and proof that sustained effort does not a desirable final product make." |

Went to Coney Island on a Mission From God... Be Back By Five (1998) |
"A rather bracing if awkwardly conceived drama of redemption... [whose] desolate landscapes and lonely, howling winds worthy of Nicolas Roeg’s Walkabout combine [for] the look and feel of the world’s most desolate shoe commercial." |

Whale Rider (2003) |
"Delicate, lyrical... and still familiar. A locally carved tchotchke from a resort beach." |

What a Girl Wants (2003) |
"Teen movies don’t have to be pandering and idiotic, but you wouldn’t know that by watching this Girl, an aimless piece of fluff that trades in clichés and stock jokes that have for a long time now been signifiers of humor rather than the real thing" |
Brent Simon |

What Alice Found (2003) |
"A fine merging of means, material and ego -- a nicely acted, simple little road movie vacuumed free of any indie scene smugness or self-satisfaction." |

When Will I Be Loved (2004) |

Where the Heart Is (2000) |
"A rambling but rich examination of both the human spirit and the oft-undiscussed need for a greater community that each of us can plug into." |

Where the Money Is (2000) |

White Oleander (2002) |
"Though by no means an 'easy' movie, White Oleander is a moving travelogue of adolescent emotional turmoil, a film about putting away childish things too soon, the forced assumption of adulthood." |

Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself (2004) |

Wimbledon (2004) |
"Ably, consistently directed and featuring attractive, likeable leads, yet also still so formulaic and quirk-free as to lull you into a stupor." |

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004) |
"Personality and affability can sustain a picture in this genre when story flaws might otherwise sabotage it. Long live Topher Grace and Gary Cole!" |
