Tomato

V For Vendetta (2005)

"Movie fans may be surprised to find [certain] questions being raised in a sci-fi movie. They should, instead, be appalled that it took a sci-fi movie to raise them."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Valentin (2004)

"The whole thing feels like nothing more than just a calculated entry in the international tyke-of-the-month club."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
2.5/4

The Valet (2007)

"There are a number of ways The Valet could be better."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Van Helsing (2004)

"The experience of watching the film is best described as deadening."

Lisa Rose

Splat
1/4

Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006)

"It's hard to fathom why this didn't go straight to video, or maybe even YouTube."

Lisa Rose

Splat

Vanity Fair (2004)

"Instead of a sly critique of hypocrisy and pretense in all social classes, the film is a stodgy, unremarkable costume drama with all the bite of a poodle."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
3/4

Vantage Point (2008)

"Director Pete Travis keeps things grim and gritty and moving."

Stephen Whitty

Splat
1/4

Venom (2005)

"It seems like all of the filmmaker's creative energy was channeled into the gory imagery, while thematic linkage was an afterthought. Venom has a meandering story to match its misleading title."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
3/4

Venus (2006)

"Even with O'Toole's charms, this is a story with enormous poor-taste potential. Yet director Roger Michell and writer Hanif Kureishi wisely don't make this a story about May-December sex."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Vera Drake (2004)

"Despite all his care and realism, Leigh has neglected to provide a fully satisfying drama."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

Veronica Guerin (2003)

"More researched than truly felt, the movie fails to dramatize a number of crucial elements."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"Jeunet's reliance on magic-realist devices just falls flat, and Tautou's character -- a lame girl who plays the tuba -- is treated with the sort of condescending pity the movies haven't seen since Johnny Belinda."

Stephen Whitty

Splat

The Village (2004)

"There is no doubt that Shyamalan is a gifted director who knows how to push audience buttons, but heavy-handed horror shows like this one make the man behind the camera seems less an artist than a huckster."

Lisa Rose

Splat
2/4

Vitus (2007)

"There are few movies more infuriating than those that completely misjudge our reaction to their main characters -- and Vitus, alas, is at the head of that class."

Stephen Whitty

Tomato

Vodka Lemon

"There is no small amount of splendor to be found in its frozen panoramas and charm in its idiosyncratic storytelling."

Lisa Rose

Tomato
3/4

Volver (2006)

"Almodóvar is a great filmmaker, and his skills remain intact -- Volver is polished, well-acted, completely personal cinema. Yet it still feels slight -- more a tapas than a meal."

Stephen Whitty
