Tomato
O (2001)
"It's highly enjoyable and well acted, with the Iago figure better motivated than in the original play, no single line of which has been retained except for the odd echo."
Philip French
O'Horten (2009)
"The helicopter shots of Horten's train snaking its way through Norway's wintry wastes are beautiful."
Obscene: A Portrait Of Barney Rosset And Grove Press (2008)
"This film is an engaging portrait of the man and a fair assessment of his achievement."
Splat
Obsessed (2009)
"Slow, one-note and climactically risible."
Oklahoma! (1955)
"Folksy and sentimental."
Old Joy (2006)
"A minimalist piece to be savoured like a good short story."
Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)
"Full of drama and fascinating anecdotes."
Once Upon a Time in the West (1969)
"The Everest of the 1968 spaghetti western is a violent, poetic elegy."
Ong Bak 2 (2009)
"The fights are stunning, the narrative thin and repetitive, the characterisation perfunctorily functional."
Open Season (2006)
"There's virtuosity here but no magic."
Opera Jawa (2006)
"I found it beautiful, exotic and virtually incomprehensible."
Orphan (2009)
"Although slightly overlong, the film sustains the escalating horror and keeps up its sleeve a truly shocking revelation that's carefully prepared for, though not signalled."
Outlander (2009)
"The creature is about as convincing as a furry dragon carried through Chinatown."
Over the Hedge (2006)
"A cookie-cutter money-spinner, finely tooled for maximum profit, but utterly lacking timeless charm."
