I Am Sam (2002) |
"The script lacks focus and consistency of approach, and the whole becomes a mixture of emotional manipulation and laughable caricature." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"Not a new story, and some of the goings-on are just plain silly, but it's pleasant, nicely photographed and well enough told." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Will keep you giggling, guessing and thinking." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"[A] delightful, lighthearted satire, a quirky story of fantasy, wealth and pretty women with exposed nipples." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"I'm Not Scared isn't a perfect film, but Petriccione's cinematography and Cristiani's performance make it well worth seeing." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"Ultimately, though, the question arises: why bother?" |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
I, Robot (2004) |
"I, Robot may not break much new ground, but it's engaging enough in what it does to keep the viewer interested." |
Jean Lowerison |

Ice Age (2002) |
"A good, solid, enjoyable animated film for all ages." |

The Illusionist (2006) |
"If you want to see the best narrative film of the year so far, and are willing to be hypnotized by period, plot and intriguing characters, this is for you." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Weaver, Daniels and Hirsch do the best they can with a script that makes its point quickly and then leaves them all flailing about for something -– resolution, meaning, anything –- to make their torture, and ours, worth the while." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Imelda (2004) |
"Although the fact that Imelda does most of the talking begins to feel like election year rhetoric or just plain propaganda, there's something perversely fascinating in listening to such sincere self-deception." |

In America (2003) |
"There are many better films on the immigrant experience." |

Tomato |
In Bruges (2008) |
"McDonagh's trademark is dark humor, the ability to humanize inhuman situations, and plot twists you don't see coming. Expect all of these here, along with gorgeous cinematography by Eigil Bryld." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"It accomplishes its goal in a watchable style." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
In July (2000) |
"None of this is the least bit believable, but all is told with a light touch and good humor and the characters are quirky enough that you can't help enjoying the ride." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
In My Country (2005) |
"Important for what it teaches about revenge, justice and forgiveness. But you'll have to ignore the goofiness." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
In My Skin (2003) |
"This is a strange and twisted film, but perversely fascinating." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) |
"There is no magic here. This is not Paris, these are not Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, and Holdridge's script does not give us a reason to care what happens to these characters." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
In the Cut (2003) |
"Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Jason Leigh get lost in the morass of a muddy, bloody screenplay that makes little sense and leaves the viewer feeling in need of a shower, not to mention a strong drink." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
In the Mood for Love (2001) |
"This is a strange film. It has some real positives, but they don't add up to a satisfying experience." |

Incident at Loch Ness (2004) |
"I hope this film is more widely viewed than I suspect it will be, because it is not only one of the funniest films of the year, but also asks questions about truth, half-truth and lies that are worth considering." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"Though the information is dense and seems a bit like a college lecture, Gore and his presentation come across as quite engaging." |

The Incredibles (2004) |

Innocent Voices (2004) |

Intacto (2002) |

The Intended (2004) |
"An irritating bit of jungle gothic gone bad." |

Interview (2007) |
"Too bad the touted twist at the end is telegraphed miles in advance." |

Intimacy (2001) |
"I'm sure Chereau meant this to be a searing portrait of psychic distance, and it certainly is bleak. What it is not, unfortunately, is riveting cinema." |

Intimate Strangers (2004) |
"The landscape of the heart is an emotional mine field only the French seem able to navigate with any sense of delicacy." |

Irreversible (2003) |
"Since I was one who fled (and at my screening the rate was closer to 60 percent), this is a non-review, but I feel a responsibility to warn readers about this film." |
