Tomato 4/5 |
L'Enfant (2006) |
"François is heartbreaking in her debut role - here's hoping the Belgian film industry takes note and we see more of her in future." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 5/5 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"Superbly directed, thoroughly engaging and emotionally moving biopic with a sensational, Oscar-worthy performance from Marion Cotillard." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
La Vie Moderne (2008) |
"By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this is a well made and strikingly intimate portrait of rural farming life." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
La Zona (2007) |
"Gripping thriller with strong performances and a script that is both chilling and scarily prescient." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"The film also criminally wastes latino heart-throb Jay Hernandez, to the point where you suspect that he had a sub-plot that ended up on the cutting room floor.

Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"Engaging, strikingly photographed and packing a powerful emotional punch, Lady Chatterley is an award winning drama with terrific performances from its three leads." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Paul Giamatti is superb ... and his performance single-handedly rescues Lady in the Water from one star ignominy. Frankly, you'll marvel at his ability to keep a straight face as he delivers Shyamalan's pretentious dialogue." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Enjoyable Coen caper, enlivened by a strong comic performance by Tom Hanks." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 5/5 |
Lagaan (2001) |
"This is a lavish production that will remain a favourite for years to come." |
Nina Patel |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) |
"Engaging, frequently amusing and occasionally moving documentary about one of fashion's most fascinating figures." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"If you're not sucked in by the romance of the story, there's a chance you'll find it laughably awful, thanks to poorly written lines and Keanu's delivery of the world's least convincing sneeze." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Strong performances ensure that this remains watchable, but it pulls all its potential punches and ends up as a neutered version of the film it should have been." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lala Pipo - A Lot of People |
"Never less than watchable, thanks to strong performances and a handful of great scenes but the uneven tone prevents it from engaging on an emotional level." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"Land of the Lost has decent special effects but ultimately fails thanks to a poorly written script, a general lack of imagination, a series of painfully unfunny gags." |

Lassie (2006) |
"Lassie is a thoroughly enjoyable family film of the sort that they really don't make anymore. However, be warned, if you take young children to see this you may find yourself getting a border collie for Christmas." |

Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"A low-key, predictable but no less enjoyable romantic comedy." |

Last Days (2005) |
"It would be churlish and somewhat facetious to say that by the end of the film you'll sympathise with Blake because you'll want to kill yourself too, but you do find yourself wondering if maybe that was the intention." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
Last Holiday (2006) |
"It's clear that Queen Latifah is a proper, old school movie star - the camera loves her and her constantly upbeat screen persona is extremely likeable. It's just a shame that studios don't seem able to find a decent vehicle for her talents." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"As pointless remakes go, this is actually pretty good, thanks to strong performances, impressive camerawork and stylish direction." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"... if Whitaker doesn't get an Oscar nomination there is officially no justice." |
Matthew Turner |
Splat 2/5 |
The Last Kiss (2006) |
"Braff's gormless, blank-faced acting worked in Garden State because his character was depressed and withdrawn, but here it only serves to render him smug, punchable and utterly unsympathetic." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last Mimzy (2007) |
"An intelligent, thoughtful sci-fi mystery that both adults and children can enjoy." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last Mistress (2008) |
"Breillat's most commercial film to date is an enjoyable costume drama that plays like an arthouse sequel to Dangerous Liaisons and features an utterly bonkers performance from Asia Argento." |

"Uplifting feel-good drama from director Robert Redford - chock-full of flaws and easy to criticize, but nonetheless enjoyable." |

The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"Antonio Banderas is (whisper it) getting a little to old to be swashbuckling these days, but he still puts in a committed performance." |

"Badly written, poorly conceived and utterly laugh-free comedy-horror whose idea of wit and invention doesn't extend beyond the nudge nudge, wink wink nature of the title." |

Let the Right One In (2008) |
"By turns sweet, shocking and ultimately moving, Let the Right One In is a genuinely stunning, bracingly original film that demands to be seen." |
