Tomato

I Am Cuba (1964)

"The result is a technically astonishing mixture of optimistic Stalinist kitsch, agitprop and the epic Soviet style of the Twenties."

Philip French

Splat

I Can't Think Straight (2008)

"Both films are politically daring as well as what used to be called risque. Neither, I'm afraid, is well directed or acted."

Philip French

Splat

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

"An undistinguished work."

Philip French

Splat

I Want Candy (2007)

"A crude, leering, poorly timed farce."

Philip French

Tomato

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"In its untouched-by-human-hand way, it's not bad and, as in the first film, the funniest moments involve the half-rat, half-squirrel Scrat."

Philip French

Tomato

If... (1969)

"A classic, a movie of real authority."

Philip French

Tomato

The Illusionist (2006)

"The acts are beautifully mounted, the four central performances are excellent, and the exquisite photography is by Dick Pope, Mike Leigh's regular cameraman."

Philip French

Tomato

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

"Somewhat intellectually mushy and sentimental, though never less than visually impressive."

Philip French

Mark Kermode

Splat

Imagine That (2009)

"[A] characteristically laboured comedy."

Philip French

-

In America (2003)

"The movie lacks conviction from implausible beginning to sentimental end."

Philip French

-

In Her Shoes (2005)

Peter Bradshaw

Tomato

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)

"A very funny, talky and kvetchy film about loneliness and connections, mixing romance with frank sex talk and building into poignancy."

Jason Solomons

Tomato

In Search Of Beethoven (2009)

"It's one of the finest movies about a great musician I've ever seen."

Philip French

Tomato

In the Loop (2009)

"The film attempts to give the impression of documentary reality, but the movie is a series of satirical caricatures that sometimes crosses over into farce."

Philip French

Tomato

In the Realm of the Senses (1976)

"I still find In the Realm of the Senses impressive but it now puzzles and worries me."

Philip French

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

Philip French

Tomato

Infamous (2006)

"Toby Jones's impersonation of Truman Capote is as uncannily accurate as Philip Seymour Hoffman's and even more camp."

Philip French

Tomato

The Informant! (2009)

"Matt Damon gives the best performance of his career so far."

Philip French

Splat

The Informers (2009)

"In structure and location the film resembles Robert Altman's Short Cuts, though it's much inferior and far less interesting."

Philip French

Tomato

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

"Ideological sentimentality is not a charge that could be made against Tarantino, but his film thereafter, though consistently gripping, is uneven and fractured."

Philip French

Tomato

Inland Empire (2006)

"As opaque a movie as I've ever seen, yet riveting or hypnotic in a way that makes you feel not that you've seen it, but that you've dreamt it."

Philip French

Tomato

The Innocents (1961)

"It's masterly in every way with a great performance from Deborah Kerr as the troubled Victorian governess, superb black-and-white widescreen photography by Freddie Francis and Georges Auric's last, truly distinguished score."

Philip French

Splat
1/5

Inside Man (2006)

"Supremely annoying and nonsensical."

Philip French

Tomato

The International (2009)

"Slick, fast-moving conspiracy thriller."

Philip French

Tomato

Into Great Silence (2007)

"The movie captures the feeling of silence, of timelessness, of contemplation, of spiritual discipline, of communion with God and the rejection of the material world."

Philip French

Splat

Into the Wild (2007)

"While the viewer may sympathise with McCandless's saintly rejection of materialism and his pursuit of eternal truths in a mapped-out world, there's little irony in the film, and the deluded Chris never actually helps anyone else."

Jason Solomons

Splat

The Invention of Lying (2009)

"With nowhere to go, Gervais & Co get sentimental about the lovability of awkward, unattractive men, and the film fizzles out."

Philip French

Splat

Iraq in Fragments (2006)

"There are some striking images, but the film is less useful for not having any commentary on the confused events depicted."

Philip French

Tomato

Is Anybody There? (2009)

"Caine and Milner, who was so unaffectedly good in Son of Rambow, play beautifully together, and the movie is about Edward coming to terms with life and mortality."

Philip French

-

It's A Boy Girl Thing (2006)

Philip French

Tomato

The Italian Job (2003)

"Gary Gray's version is tauter, better made but insufficiently idiosyncratic to attract a cult following."

Philip French
