Tomato 4/4
La Vie En Rose (2007)
"If that’s not a movie, I don’t know what is. A must-see."
Johnny Vaughan
Tomato 3/5
Lady Chatterley (2006)
"A pity that the director did not devote more of the two hours and 48 minutes to satisfying cinemagoers minds, rather than constantly showing Parkin satisfying Lady Chatterley."
Splat 1/5
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007)
"Know not to take tips from a man who has a ponytail and wears fingerless black gloves."
Lakeview Terrace (2008)
"It’s uncomfortable viewing."
Land of the Lost (2009)
"Find your juvenile inner self and you might just enjoy Land Of The Lost."
Last Chance Harvey (2008)
"What makes this simple romance watchable is the fine observational comedy."
Splat 2/5
The Last House on the Left (2009)
"Wes Craven's 1972 classic has been reworked but it has lost the edge-of-seat suspense which made the original one of the best of the genre."
Tomato
The Last King of Scotland (2006)
"Whitaker is astounding in this role, moving easily between the happy charm that made Amin champion of his people, and the madness that led this infamous dictator to kill almost half a million of them."
The Lemon Tree (2008)
"Israeli director Eran Riklis should be applauded for approaching it in such a reflective manner in this clear analogy for a divided land."
Tomato 4/5
Let the Right One In (2008)
"Kåre Hedebrant as Oskar and Lina Leandersson as Eli both give incredibly sensitive performances."
Tomato 3.5/4
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)
"It’s Clint’s assured camerawork combined with top-notch acting turns and blood-thirsty battle scenes that make this a stunning slice of cinema not to be missed."
License To Wed (2007)
"The comedy, starring Robin Williams as a reverend who won’t marry couples until they have passed several ridiculous tests, raised a good few laughs."
Linha de passe
"At the end of the day there just isn’t enough Brazilian flair to support a drawn-out encounter."
Lions for Lambs (2007)
"Unexpectedly riveting."
Looking for Eric (2009)
"Looking For Eric is a great piece of feel-good British cinema."
The Lookout (2007)
"Imagine going to see a film which you won’t remember by the time you are at the bar for a post cinema pint – that is The Lookout."
Lorna's Silence (2009)
"The Silence Of Lorna is definitely a film worth shouting about."
The Love Guru (2008)
"The puerile levels to which it sinks make even Goldmember, the crudest of the Austin Powers movies, look like Brief Encounter."
The Lovely Bones (2009)
"The Lovely Bones is [Jackson's] most mature, self-assured and visually dazzling release."
The Sneak
Tomato 2.5/4
Lucky You (2007)
"As Kenny Rogers once said: “It’s all about knowing when to hold ’em and knowing when to fold ’em”. In poker terms this over-long flop is a busted flush."
Lust, Caution (2007)
"Lust, Caution is strangely engrossing but the fairly straightforward plot does not justify the running time."
