The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Suffice it to say that this film isn’t as bad as it is simply dopey and dull, and that nothing I or any other critic says will dissuade millions from seeing it anyway." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Adapted by Nicholas Shakespeare from his own novel, the screen version is a muddled mess of nutty political shenanigans, murky thought processes and a doomed love story." |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Worth seeing (at least the first 90 minutes) for Hirsch, Malone and Culkin." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Lacks is a sense of humor and a notion about the essential silliness of this premise." |

Darkness Falls (2003) |
"There's no particular reason to see it unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool fan of weird (and loud) noises, things not quite seen and obvious plots." |

Days of Being Wild (1990) |
"The ‘60s were a time of alienation and sadness, which I suppose Wong was trying to reflect here. But he’s chosen characters so monumentally self-destructive that it’s difficult to care about them." |

De-Lovely (2004) |
"Some of this is true, some invented, but all of the songs are wonderful." |

The Decalogue Box Set (1988) |
"Kieslowski gives cinematic voice to ethical problems in a way that perhaps no other director does. These films are bleak, somber, downbeat in theme, but pose problems we need to think about." |

Deep Water (2007) |

Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"Union and LL Cool J are an attractive couple and well matched here." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"It's not the cover-up evidence that will grab you -- it's the interviews with victims, describing wanton destruction of their lives." |
Jean Lowerison |

Derrida (2002) |
"At the very least, if you don't know anything about Derrida when you walk into the theater, you won't know much more when you leave." |

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"A sad, occasionally funny but ultimately merely mildly interesting film." |

The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
"Del Toro has produced a remarkable story that has the feel of authenticity." |

Diamond Men (2001) |
"The film means well but lacks punch, edginess or anything else that would make it memorable." |

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) |
"I’m at a loss to explain anything about this film." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Diggers (2007) |
"A lethargic film about people who don’t seem to care much about anything. It is difficult for the audience to care as well." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Dinosaurs Alive (2007) |
"If you know any 8-year-olds, take them along. If not, see the fascinating Dinosaurs Alive! yourself." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) |
"Dirty Pretty Things is flawed, but worth seeing for Ejiofor alone." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
A Dirty Shame (2004) |
"Fun, outrageous and over-the-top raunchy, so if you're easily offended this is not for you." |

Divine Intervention (2003) |
"Existence under these conditions is difficult and unpredictable at best. But Suleiman has also found the funny and poignant aspects, using satire and absurdist comedy to make his points." |

Dogville (2003) |
"It's a bleak view of humanity expounded here, giving much food for thought, and for meditation on the concepts of humanity, tolerance, acceptance." |

Down in the Valley (2006) |
"Both absorbing and unsettling, the performances so good that it's sometimes difficult to abstain from yelling advice at the screen." |
Jean Lowerison |

Downfall (2005) |
"There are war films, and there are films about the Nazis. Downfall is more personal and more riveting than either." |

Dreamgirls (2006) |
"I must toss a bouquet to the amazing American Idol reject Hudson, who sells a song like Garland, only louder, and to Murphy for his terrific interpretation of Early." |

Driving Lessons (2006) |
"Ill-conceived and absurdly scripted, Driving Lessons gets much better acting than it deserves from Linney, Walters and Grint." |

Duck Season (2006) |
