Valiant (2005)
"These pigeons don't fly."
Tomato 2.5/4
Valkyrie (2008)
"Valkyrie works as a full-dress military drama, fleshing out a historical footnote in vivid detail."
Vanity Fair (2004)
"A few cast members bring a scene or two alive, but Vanity Fair is mostly mismanaged."
Tomato 7/10
Venus (2006)
"Not winning the Oscar takes nothing away from Peter O'Toole's unforgettable performance as Maurice, a gifted, once devastatingly handsome man who, as the doleful lyrics of a recent Morrissey song state, falls in love even as he lies on his deathbed."
A Very Long Engagement (2004)
"The fog of war frames a sprawling romantic fable and epic mystery."
Tomato 4/4
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
"Allen stages a late-career coup, placing his finely sketched characters in an ideal milieu of comedy, romance and madness."
Volver (2006)
"Pedro Almodóvar gives Penelope Cruz a great woman's role that recalls the classic performances of Italian actress Anna Magnani."
