W. (2008) |
"This movie is one big pulled punch. Dubya himself becomes a blank hole of neutrality and balance. Almost anyone else shown here would have made a more interesting subject for a biopic." |

A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007) |
"Unsuprisingly, Robinson never really gets anywhere either, but her film at least gives a convincing flavour of the time." |

The Walker (2007) |
"It looks tired, slightly soft in the middle, and yet there is a raw, hard-won honesty here that puts most contemporary US movies to shame." |
Xan Brooks |
Tomato 4/5 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"Does Andrew Stanton's film amount to much more than a brilliant aesthetic exercise? I'm not convinced it does." |

The Wash (2001) |
"[A] crude and boring movie." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"It is dizzy, crazy and quite sexy - when it's not being self-indulgent and pointless. If it doesn't quite hang together or add up, or stick faithfully to the comic-book original, these offences aren't major. What a spectacle." |

Water Lilies (2007) |
"With terrific poise and the crispest, cleanest cinematography imaginable, the 27-year-old French director Céline Sciamma has given us a very provocative and stylish drama set in the world of teenage girls' synchronised swimming." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 1/5 |
The Wave (2008) |
"Here is the winner of this week's No Shit Sherlock award: a prime example of the kind of film dead set on telling you what you know already." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Waveriders (2009) |
"Some awe-inspiring big-wave action." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
We Live in Public (2009) |
"[Timoner's] film – cobbled together over 15 years – has grown so beguiled by its wonky, disquieting hero that it has lost its distance and mislaid all scepticism." |
Xan Brooks |
Tomato 3/5 |
We Own The Night (2007) |
"It is a little cumbersome with plenty of macho-sentimentalism, and the ending is frankly contrived. But go and see it for the car chase." |

The Weeping Meadow (2004) |
"The movie is fiercely austere; no human emotion leaks out and the characters are as blank as chess-pieces." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Weirdsville (2007) |
"It's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists." |

Welcome |
"Phillippe Lioret's drama turns heavy-handed at the end. What keeps it afloat are the sharp performances, together with a pungent, docu-style portrait of the dockyards." |

Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"The classic indie-Sundance idiom of reticent performance, affectless dialogue, stonewashed colour photography and plain, sans-serif lettering on the credits." |

Werckmeister Harmonies (2001) |
"This will be a tough watch for many: an uncompromisingly difficult and severe experience. But I found it unique, mesmeric and sublime." |

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (1960) |
"The new retrospective of Mikio Naruse at London's BFI Southbank will do much to restore the reputation of a neglected Japanese director, and this 1960 film is a heartbreaking study, to be compared with Mizoguchi's Life of Oharu." |
Peter Bradshaw |

Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"Jonze's Wild Things is an altogether darker, colder picture: a film about the way children can lose their fear of the world only by losing their innocence." |
