L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"If the critics overrate this one, it's only because it looks so damned good in contrast to the rest of what's out there." |

La Jetée (1962) |
"It's no exaggeration, finally, to say that La Jetee may represent film's closest approach to poetry." |

Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Shyamalan's skill as a director of action (and inaction) finds a really good match in ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle's moody camera fu." |

The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"The requisite studio-movie gloss reduces the gritty, documentary-style efficiency of the original." |

Tomato B+ |
Last Life in the Universe (2004) |
"A lovely film, if a little out of balance with itself." |

The Last Seduction (1995) |
"Pretty obviously shot for the small screen, but the real problem is the horribly derivative screenplay." |

The Last Winter (2007) |
"Has a look and feel all its own, but Fessenden's ambition ultimately butts heads with his budget." |
Bryant Frazer |
Tomato A |
Last Year at Marienbad (1961) |
"The movie itself is puzzling and contradictory, a self-conscious work that seems only half-remembered even as it wills itself into being on the screen." |

Le Corbeau (1943) |
"Single images in Le Corbeau are freighted with a more accurate sense of malevolence and dread than can be mustered by the Lord of the Rings movies." |

Léon the Professional (1994) |
"Despite Besson's mastery of technique, Leon's success is due in large part to its elegant performances." |

Let the Right One In (2008) |
"Brings the pain in genre fashion. But it's also a kind of Scandinavian gothic -- a love story between 12-year-olds, one of whom has been 12 for a very long time." |

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) |
"Just another buddy movie about a pair of cops trying to get the bad guys so they can go home and relax with their loved ones." |

Tomato B |
Life Is Beautiful (1998) |
"Three parts Charles Chaplin to one part Buster Keaton, Benigni's guileless courtship fable is a latter-day screwball farce in the best sense." |

Lilya 4-Ever (2003) |
"Manipulative and reductive though it may be, it's a film that clearly takes place in the real world." |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) |

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) |
