Jake Euker |
Splat 3/5 |
L'Argent (1983) |
"and clinical, and more than a little depressing" |
Christopher Null |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
L'Atalante (1934) |
"This quiet little French number is a gossamer confection, but for a film of its era, it's gorgeous to look at." |
Christopher Null |
Tomato 5/5 |
L'Avventura (1960) |
"L'Avventura has still held up remarkably well, perhaps because the creepiness of existence remains topical in these apathetic times." |
Jeremiah Kipp |

Tomato 4/5 |
L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"Director Hanson's convoluted plot -- tracing the rise, fall, and redemption of L.A. cops played by Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey, and James Cromwell -- is all over the map until its handy, bloody ending (body count > 25)." |
Christopher Null |
Splat 2/5 |
The L.A. Riot Spectacular (2005) |
"A film that works overtime to offend each and every ethnic group and economic class that makes up the smoggy purgatory of Los Angeles while simultaneously patting itself on the back for being so putatively daring." |
Chris Barsanti |
Tomato 4/5 |
L.A. Story (1991) |
"If nothing else, it will remind you how funny Martin used to be." |
Christopher Null |
Splat 2/5 |
L.I.E. (2001) |
"Would have worked best as a half-hour short film about Howie's ill-advised foray into Big John's haven." |
Jeremiah Kipp |
Splat 1.5/5 |
L5: First City in Space |
"a children’s movie pitched to an older crowd in the hopes that space enthusiasts will be sucked in" |
Aileo Weinmann |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
La Belle Noiseuse (1991) |
"In this molasses-slow four-hour drama, Jacques Rivette proves that he's got an understanding of fine art, but a minimal one of the art of movies." |
Christopher Null |
Splat 2/5 |
La Buche (2000) |
"A very staid drama with no sense of irony." |
Christopher Null |

Jeremiah Kipp |
Splat 3/5 |
La Femme Nikita (1990) |

"simple yet memorable" |
Doug Hennessy |

La Vie En Rose (2007) |

Sean O'Connell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Ladies in Lavender (2005) |
"Dance’s inability or reluctance to infuse his characters or the story with a charge mars its chances" |
Pete Croatto |
Splat 2/5 |
The Ladies Man (2000) |
"Although there is a musical number ... that will make you bust out laughing, the rest of the movie proves to be so poorly constructed that it's almost unbearable." |
James Brundage |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Ladies of the Bois de Bologne (1944) |
"The fact of Bresson's as yet undeveloped style, coupled with Cocteau’s fearless lyricism, produces a one-of-a-kind film. It’s irreproducible, a jewel." |
Jake Euker |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Lady and the Duke (2002) |
"Much of The Lady and the Duke is about quiet, decisive moments between members of the cultural elite as they determine how to proceed as the world implodes." |
Jeremiah Kipp |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Lady and the Tramp (1955) |
"Technically, Disney has created nothing finer.

"extremely suspenseful" |
Don Willmott |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Lady Eve (1941) |
"...as powerful a feminist statement as it is a smart comedy, and all the more so for hardly seeming to break a sweat in the process." |
Chris Barsanti |
Splat 3/5 |
The Lady from Shanghai (1948) |
"Convoluted and roughly edited, Welles' signature photography is stamped all over the film, but his usual savvy sense of plot and character development is lacking." |
Christopher Null |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Lady In Question is Charles Busch (2006) |
"he's as entertaining out of drag as in it" |
Don Willmott |

Paul Brenner |

Lady Jane (1986) |
"Staid and off-center." |
Christopher Null |
Splat 3/5 |
Lady Sings the Blues (1972) |
"Ross and director Sidney J. Furie seem to feel that the slower the song, the more serious the mood, so at times the film seems to be grinding almost to a halt" |
Don Willmott |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"He wants to get into the black heart of revenge, and his films are testaments to that journey.

Ladykillers (2004) |
"A productive failure that’s silly rather than sophisticated. We’re engaged by its oddities, but never really entertained." |
Sean O'Connell |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lagaan (2001) |
"It's a fairy tale that comes from a renowned Indian film culture that allows Americans to finally revel in its splendor." |

Paul Brenner |

The Lake House (2006) |
"If I were sending letters back in time to someone advising them on which films to skip, I'd probably forget to even mention this." |
David Thomas |

Lake of Fire (2007) |
"it's hard to imagine a more honest and clear-headed documentary that's been made or will be made on the subject of abortion." |
Chris Cabin |

Lake Placid (1999) |
"About the only thing that rescues LAKE PLACID from drecksville is Kelley's flair for sarcastic dialogue." |
Christopher Null |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Lake Tahoe (2009) |
"has an even less assuming sense of comedy to it but is far more consistent in its gags" |
Chris Cabin |
