V For Vendetta (2005) |
"V for Vendetta has a playful-demon vitality, but it's designed to let political adolescents of every age congratulate themselves. It's rage against the machine by the machine." |

Va Savoir (2001) |
"It's all very French, very intricate, and -- this is Rivette's magic -- seemingly as light as air." |

Vacancy (2007) |
"Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul." |

Valentin (2004) |
"Agresti fattens us up with the kind of kid's-eye-view tragi-comic adventures that regularly supply empty calories in artificially sweetened foreign-language imports like this one." |

Valentine (2001) |
"Doesn't contain a single scary or imaginative moment." |

Tomato A- |
Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009) |
"Matt Tyrnauer's sharp-eyed documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor follows the luxury-loving pooh-bah and his indispensable, since-forever lover and business partner, Giancarlo Giammetti, through a season of magical dresses and minor diva snits." |

The Valet (2007) |
"Resistance to The Valet is futile: The tumblers of this well-oiled entertainment machine make satisfying clicks as the pieces lock merrily into place." |

Valiant (2005) |
"This movie's aesthetics seem governed by its bottom line: The CG is on the rubbery side, and the backdrops are jarringly 2-D. But Valiant isn't so hard to look at -- it's hard to listen to." |

Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006) |
"Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety Van Wilder." |

Vanilla Sky (2001) |
"If Crowe's eyes are open, he seems to have directed most of Vanilla Sky with his mind wide shut." |

Tomato B- |
Vanity Fair (2004) |
"Against such bedraggled antagonists, the older, well-seasoned character actors -- among them Bob Hoskins, Jim Broadbent, and Geraldine McEwan -- come on bright but loud, like gangbusters." |
Lisa Schwarzbaum |
Splat C+ |
Vantage Point (2008) |
"The director, Pete Travis, is a pulse-pounding technological showman whose high-strung, quick-cut style might be described as JFK meets Paul Greengrass meets Jerry Bruckheimer. That said, it's not the plot that thickens -- it's the pulp." |
Owen Gleiberman |

Venom (2005) |

Venus (2006) |
"Venus has a swank pedigree, but in this case that doesn't mean it's much more than a quaint machine to elicit tears and awards." |

Vera Drake (2004) |
"You can almost smell the damp wool and feel the worn china teacups of an exhausted 1950s London in Mike Leigh's stunning and compassionate period drama Vera Drake." |

Verdict on Auschwitz: The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965 (2007) |

Vertical Limit (2000) |

Virgin (2003) |
"It all descends quickly into desultory melodrama, with broadly drawn nightmares of demon-male small-mindedness balanced against impeccable portraits of the sacred feminine in action." |

The Visitor (2008) |
"This audaciously issues-loaded indie drama works, improbably and entirely, on account of the marvelous, often familiar-looking, rarely starring character actor Richard Jenkins and his perfect performance as a stodgy, widowed economics professor." |
Lisa Schwarzbaum |

Vitus (2007) |
"Vitus, a fizzy domestic fairy tale from Switzerland, gives you a lift, as it revels in the oddball joy of genius as kid power." |
Owen Gleiberman |
Tomato A- |
Viva (2008) |
"It takes skill -- a certain sly, even perverse nimbleness of craft -- to make an homage to schlock movies that treats them as works of art. Viva, written and directed by its star, Anna Biller, could just about be the third featurette in Grindhouse." |
