L'Atalante (1934) |
"A favorite of film buffs for decades." |

Tomato 3/4 |
L'Enfant (2006) |
"The journey and character evolution of Bruno is subtle and believable, thanks to Renier's performance." |

L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"This is very rough stuff, with more than a little violence and profanity — enough to please just about any Tarantino fan." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
La Belle Noiseuse (1991) |
"Obviously, the film is aimed at a fairly narrow audience -- primarily the art community. But the passion felt during those painting-and-posing sequences reaches a much broader spectrum." |
Chris Hicks |
Tomato 3/4 |
La Femme Nikita (1990) |
"None of this would be nearly as interesting if it weren't for the startling central performance by Anne Parillaud as Nikita and the stylish direction of Luc Besson." |

La Promesse (1996) |
"A troubling, offbeat and somewhat downbeat drama with no easy answers, with a stark, realistic style and some very good performances." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2.5/4 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"The film does get a little overwhelmingly dark. This may be an accurate picture of what Piaf's life was like, but watching nearly 2 1/2 hours of it is a bit much." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"It's hard to come down too hard on this well-intentioned drama, as cornball and manipulative as it is at times." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ladies in Lavender (2005) |
"The film does have Dench and Smith, which counts for a lot. And watching the two of them is at least moderately entertaining." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat |
The Ladies Man (2000) |
"Saying that The Ladies Man is the best movie spawned from Saturday Night Live in quite some time is sort of like grading the quality of dog doo." |

The Lady and the Duke (2002) |
"To the vast majority of more casual filmgoers, it will probably be a talky bore." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"The luxuriously paced period drama is nearly three hours long and feels every bit of it." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"The surprise here is that he's created a story mythology for this fantasy/thriller that's so ludicrous and convoluted that it's almost laughable. At times it seems his cast members are making up the story as they go." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"It doesn't help that Lee's performance is pretty one-note. She doesn't seem too interested in exploring her character's human side, despite opportunities provided by Park." |

The Lake House (2006) |
"Not to spoil anything, but frankly, the two leads have more chemistry in the scenes where their characters are apart than they do when they're together." |

Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"When Lakeview Terrace concentrates on its characters, it's somewhat watchable. Unfortunately, this dramatic thriller is more determined to make a point -- repeatedly and pretty stridently -- rather than doing that." |

Land of the Lost (2009) |
"This only intermittently amusing film isn't going to win over any new fans of the divisive Will Ferrell." |

Landscape in the Mist (1988) |
"There are rich rewards here, and the patient moviegoer looking more for art than plot will feel rewarded." |

Lantana (2001) |
"Lawrence's storytelling skills don't seem to have eroded -- if anything, they may have gotten even stronger." |

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"It's nearly humorless, which is deadly for such movies." |

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"Despite Angelina Jolie being perfectly cast as the title character, and some imaginative set-pieces, it wouldn't be out of place to call this film boring, since it lacks the energy and wit it deserves." |

Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |
"Director Gillespie and screenwriter Nancy Oliver keep the tone pretty light for about the first two-thirds of the film, though it does take a rather dramatic turn toward the end. And for the most part, it works." |
