Dark City (1998)

"Even if Dark City is a little off-putting in its basic approach, there is a bounty of good things to be said about it."

Daughters of the Dust (1991)

"A brave and ravishing film that portrays a little-known society with deft, culturally specific images."

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

"It's like Deep Impact as made by Michael Moore, and that's a good thing, or a good enough thing."

De-Lovely (2004)

"De-Lovely is a film I can imagine the Porters enjoying, and also one that might occasionally make them uncomfortable. It isn't great cinema, but it's deft popular art."

Delta (2008)

"Delta, quite easy to laugh at, and deserving, at least, of impatience if not contempt, has a keen eye and a flexibility of expression as well as subtle intimations of depth that are worth sounding out."

Detective Story (1951)

"William Bendix is the best reason to see this yarn, a diverting story that never makes an impression proportionate to the talent of its cast and crew."

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

"An ideal movie for DVD: you can pick and choose moments and lines to revisit while ignoring, or trying to ignore, the thematic compromises, hectoring impulses, and structural handicaps that start to engulf the film."

Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970)

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)

"How do keep a film about insane repetition from feeling insanely repetitious?"

The Divorcee (1930)

"Refreshingly excited about female sexuality for a Hollywood movie, though pretty tame stuff all in all."

Dolores Claiborne (1995)

"The film boldly refuses to satisfy the horror fans who are its expected audience, but it's massively unclear what kind of audience it does have in mind."

The Door in the Floor (2004)

"Awash in lame symbolism, proud to pimp its salt-air locations and comely actors, and equipped with exactly zero governing notions of human behavior."

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

"If there never were another satire of war, you'd think this one would have single-handedly stopped the whole mad business."

The Dreamers (2004)

"Maybe the worst thing Bertolucci has done is make a good film that is too blithe to distance itself from the offensively precious one it constantly threatens to be."
