The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"Powerful stuff, if a bit plodding and schematic." |
Bill Gallo |
Splat |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"Comes not from a screenplay but from a handful of self-help books and fairy tales and fashion magazines cut and pasted together in a glossy montage committed to celluloid." |
Robert Wilonsky |
Tomato |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"It's like a great singer's rendition of a hoary standard." |

Tomato |
Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"Although a work of fiction, the film evinces the power and grit of a documentary." |
Jean Oppenheimer |
Splat |
Masked and Anonymous (2003) |
"The film strains for some kind of meaning but asks you to do the work it can't and won't perform on its own." |

Matchstick Men (2003) |

Tomato |

Meet the Fockers (2004) |

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004) |
"The movie permits us to hover from first riff to last encore, during which Metallica finds a new record and itself just as it all seems to be coming apart." |

Million Dollar Baby (2004) |

Splat |
The Missing (2003) |
"It may leave you with this terribly icky feeling that what you're watching is no more enlightened than the Westerns of the '40s and '50s." |
Robert Wilonsky |
Splat |
Mona Lisa Smile (2003) |
"You will leave Mona Lisa Smile with only the slightest hint of the grin every slick studio movie gives you--the grin of reassurance and superiority. But you will not be changed, only out about eight bucks." |

Monster-in-Law (2005) |
"Billed as a comedy, this low-wattage sitcom is both ill-tempered and mean-spirited -- not least when it's cracking anti-gay jokes and making snide suggestions about incest." |

Moonlight Mile (2002) |
"To a really shocking degree, this film has absolutely no feel for its time period." |
Jean Oppenheimer |
Tomato |
Morvern Callar (2002) |
"Morton uses her face and her body language to bring us Morvern's soul, even though the character is almost completely deadpan." |
Andy Klein |
Tomato |
My Architect: A Son's Journey (2003) |
"In the end, maybe, Nathaniel sees his father's buildings as living relics; full of light, they're also full of life, none more so than the building in the capital of Bangladesh." |

My Wife is an Actress (2002) |
"Yvan Attal may be happily entangled in his fair Charlotte's web, but he doesn't manage to snare us." |
Bill Gallo |
Tomato |
Mystic River (2003) |
