Caché (2005) |
"Caché's approach amounts to some kind of methodical psychological torture of characters that simultaneously inhabit and seem trapped in Haneke's screw-turning narrative." |

Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"Director Andrew Jarecki mounts a convincing argument but declines to work up the kind of scalding condemnation of the justice system that his findings would seem to demand." |

The Cell (2000) |
"Mediocre detective story meets shallow psychodrama in a fanciful serial killer yarn with jaw-dropping visuals (and an excellent score by Howard Shore)." |

City of God (2003) |

Clean (2006) |
"Plays like the work of a great auteur working in sandbox mode to build a world that has too much of the whiff of hipster fabulism about it to play at gut level." |

Clerks II (2006) |
"The duds-to-gags ratio is way too high and the general aesthetic (visual and verbal) way too crummy." |

Tomato B+ |
Clueless (1995) |
"A candy-colored comedy and an able chaser for any heavy cinematic experiences that have dogged you lately." |

Cold Mountain (2003) |
"That ancillary characters are played by big-name supporting actors, each of whom seems to be working in a different register, just underscores the choppy nature of the story." |

The Company (2003) |
"Reveals what makes Altman's ouevre so indispensable — it's the clarity of vision, and the belief that stories can always be found if you watch people carefully enough." |

The Constant Gardener (2005) |

The Crow: City of Angels (1996) |
"More than anything I've seen from Hollywood lately, City of Angels smacks baldly of product -- it's a movie with a lousy script but a great look." |

Cruel Intentions (1999) |

Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) |
"The push-and-pull between the rote royal-family intrigue and the feverish visual design is almost too much, nearly drowning the picture in a sea of self-generating kitsch." |
