Mad, Sad and Bad (2009) |
" has its moments, but the great Meera Syal and a gifted cast are not well served by an undeveloped script and some uncertain direction." |

Made in Jamaica (2006) |
"One suspects the film-makers have deliberately excluded numbers of a homophobic nature." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"The movie is an indictment of systems that perpetuate oppression and exploitation by making the administrators believe their every cruel act is justified and by compelling complicity in victims and bystanders." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Man Push Cart (2006) |
"A sad, honest movie about the day-to-day courage and stoicism of decent people who cling to the lowest rung of the social ladder." |

"A bleak, beautifully mounted, elegiac film." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"Never before have I seen a theatrical production so brilliantly re-created, and for this major credit must go to the British cinematographer Dick Pope, who makes us feel we're there on the historic night." |

Mean Streets (1973) |
"[I] commend it without reservation." |
Philip French |

Meerkats (2008) |
"Has some good footage but is more Disney-anthropomorphic than Attenborough-authentic." |
Philip French |
Splat |
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) |
"The risible special effects and the clumsy acting recall not Roger Corman productions but the ineptitude of Ed Wood, though the result is far less endearing." |

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |

The Merry Gentleman (2009) |
"There are undercurrents of a Catholic kind about grace and redemption." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Mesrine: Killer Instinct (2009) |
"Mesrine is a lean, flashy, fast-moving, somewhat repetitive film, very French in some ways, yet lacking the gravitas of the crime movies starring Jean Gabin or directed by Jean-Pierre Melville." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Mesrine: Part 2 - Public Enemy #1 (2009) |
"Richet's movie, dazzlingly edited by Bill Pankow, the regular American collaborator of Oliver Stone, is superior in every way to Michael Mann's Public Enemies." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Metropolis (1927) |
"Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, George Lucas and other socially concerned artists imagining the future are indebted to Lang." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Metropolitan (1990) |
"It's wearing surprisingly well, yet is touchingly dated." |
Philip French |

Mid-August Lunch (2009) |

Miss March (2009) |
"Some of the lewdest, unfunniest jokes ever made, and at the end one feels in need of a stiff drink, a hot shower and a lesson in selective amnesia." |
Philip French |
Splat 1/5 |
Miss Potter (2006) |
"Watching this horrifically twee film is like having your face pushed into a bowl of pot-pourri for 90 minutes in a two-star B&B somewhere in Cumbria." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato |
Mister Foe (2008) |
"Perched on a razor's edge between the sinister and the whimsical, it's erotic, well acted, beautifully photographed." |

Philip French |
Tomato |
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) |

The Mothman Prophecies (2002) |

Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) |

Mr. Right (2009) |
"It isn't brave enough to show anyone actually being gay and having sex, but gathers its preening cast around a dinner table to bitch at one another." |

My Life to Live (1962) |
"You can see now what Bernard Rose, Mike Figgis, Lars von Trier and all the other DV-fixated filmmakers are striving for; they're trying to reclaim the freedom, the weightlessness, of cinema. Bravo to them." |
