A Prophet (2009) |
"for all its gripping excitement as a thriller, and its grim realism as a sociopolitical exposé of life inside, A Prophet is also concerned with the mysterious processes of education, assimilation and transfiguration." |

Tomato 4/5 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A.I. belongs to Spielberg ... and to Osment, who, at 12-years-old, is the most heart-rending child actor of his generation. It is almost a triumph." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato |
Aaltra (2004) |
"For the bumpy ride that Aaltra offers, there are simply no seatbelts to fasten... Uproariously funny from beginning to end." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato |
Ab-Normal Beauty (2004) |
"Whether a moody thriller or a twisted head-trip, Ab-normal Beauty is an exquisitely disorienting portrait of an artist as a troubled soul - beautiful, bloody and rather bewildering." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"All haunted house movies feature labyrinthine corridors and darkened rooms, but few achieve the tangible depth and texture of The Abandoned. After so many inferior generic excursions and aberrations, Cerdà's film feels like a homecoming." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"Intelligent, well-written and beautifully acted." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3/5 |
Abouna (2004) |
"Abouna is a small film, crafted with love and affection, that speaks with a quiet voice." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Abouna (2004) |
"Pleasant enough viewing ... but somewhat calculated, polished and ersatz." |

Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"It must be said that this is one of best DVDs around. For once, the extras mean what they say." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Although the movie is directed by the guys responsible for American Pie, what makes About A Boy so refreshing is the surprise factor -- surprisingly funny, surprisingly unsentimental, surprisingly enjoyable." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
About Adam (2001) |
"Sexy and non-judgmental, charming and slight." |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"It is worth queuing in the rain on a windy Wednesday afternoon to watch acting of this quality." |

The Actors (2003) |
"A tour-de-force for Moran and an inspirational comic performance from Caine." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"This is a film of true originality, born of despair." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato |
Adventureland (2009) |
"Add to this some winningly low-key performances, a slacker sensibility that refuses to subscribe to the American Dream, and some genuine laughs, and you have a film that feels both wise and real." |

The Aerial (2007) |
"Reflexive, allegorical and poetic, La Antena (The Aerial) is a dizzyingly dense piece of cinema, thriving on paradox, and always matching its medium to its message." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato 4/5 |
An Affair of Love (2000) |
"The writing is intelligent and full of insight, the acting of Natalie Baye and Sergi Lopez in total harmony." |

Affliction (1997) |
"Schrader uses the monochrome landscape to great effect, slowly building a tension." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 4/5 |
Afghan Star (2009) |
"Although not breaking new ground in terms of the way it is shot and edited, this is a compelling story and features some excellent archive footage." |
Amber Wilkinson |

The African Queen (1951) |
"The audio commentary by Jack Cardiff which is the jewel in the extras' crown." |

After the Day Before (2004) |
"A well executed tale of paranoia and insularity, which only stumbles at the end." |
Trinity |

After the Hole (2001) |
"[Hamm's] clever manipulation of a claustrophobic situation is matched by the commitment of his cast." |

After the Life (2002) |
"Blanc's performance is startling for many reasons, but mainly because it excavates the soul of someone no longer alive to the world." |

Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"Muniz is inches away from being a weedy wetnose, with his little face and whiny smile, but he has a personality that cuts out preconception, replacing it with respect." |

Ahlaam (2005) |
"As gruelling as it is compelling." |
Amber Wilkinson |

Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"When a documentary is as entertaining as Air Guitar Nation, you have to ask if you really need it to have redeeming social value or to advance the art form in any way." |

Ali (2001) |
"De Niro may have set the standard for fight films with Raging Bull, but Smith widens the scope." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Alias Betty (2002) |
"A film about assumptions, how the action of one person can be misinterpreted by another with fatal consequences and how life's certainties are as fragile as a wren's egg." |

All About Eve (1950) |
"There is so much to admire in All About Eve, even for those too young to be drenched in nostalgia for the spectacle of Bette Davis unleashing her sharp tongue." |

All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
"A film of quiet power." |
Keith H. Brown |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
All About Lily Chou-Chou (2002) |
"What do you do with a film of exquisite originality that goes on for two-and-a-half hours and makes no sense? To walk out in a state of aggrieved confusion would be a failure of the imagination." |
