Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Not only a moving testament to the power of family and the desire for freedom, it is also a terrific prison break film, made all the more poignant by the fact that these girls did nothing to deserve internment." |

Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"Protagonists Rasuk and Marte are very good here, as are the others." |

Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) |
"For anyone who remembers the '60s or is interested in one man's response to stroke, Ram Dass: Fierce Grace is worth seeking out." |

Rat Race (2001) |
"It goes on, and on, and on for 113 minutes, which is way past any reasonable person's limit for this sort of thing." |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"If you like food, rats, animation or a good laugh, Ratatouille is just what the doctor ordered." |

Red Eye (2005) |
"A great film? No, but Red Eye does what it sets out to do, which is more than I can say about most of the films I've seen this year." |

Red Road (2007) |
"Strong performances by Curran and Dickie and by Martin Compston and Natalie Press as Clyde's roommates make Red Road worth a look." |

Religulous (2008) |
"Be prepared for truths, distortions, unfair juxtapositions (especially with the film clips) and just plain goofiness in this too-long but often very entertaining film." |

Remember Me, My Love (2004) |
"Even Monica Bellucci as Carlo's former girlfriend can't save it from mediocrity." |

Remember the Titans (2000) |
"This film has an important message, well told." |
Jean Lowerison |
Splat |
Rent (2005) |
"Taking the film Rent on its own terms, it succeeds as rock opera, and its likely target audience won't be upset that the original lovely, lyrical score has been translated to a group of mostly pounding rock songs." |

Respiro (2003) |
"Respiro, contrary to its title, doesn't really breathe much, but it has its moments." |

Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006) |

Riding Giants (2004) |

Rize (2005) |

The Road to Guantanamo (2006) |
"Toes a fine line between docudrama and agitprop. Whether it crosses that line depends on your political persuasion, but without doubt this would have been a stronger film had Winterbottom at least asked why going into a war zone seemed a good plan." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Road to Perdition (2002) |
"An okay gangster film but an outstanding father-and-sons saga, alternately touching, amusing and horrifying, at all times riveting." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Rocket Science (2007) |
"Blitz has written a clever and charming script that will seem familiar to misfits and hotshots alike." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Roger Dodger (2002) |
"There isn't a lot of profundity here, but Roger Dodger has a bright, breezy script and characters that will amuse." |
Jean Lowerison |
Tomato |
Rollerball (2002) |
"There's nothing surprising about it, but aficionados of speed, quick cuts and high-tech mayhem will love John McTiernan's direction here. Oh, and there are way cool cars too." |

Rosenstrasse (2004) |
"Lampe, Schrader and Riemann all do the best they can, but this film sinks under weight of the clunky screenplay by von Trotta and Pamela Katz." |

Russian Ark (2002) |
"It's a technical feat not matched by artistic triumph. Some of it is, in fact, downright soporific." |
