L'Enfant (2006)

"In the end, the film itself may be of less consequence than the emotions it stirs up in the viewer. Can we forgive the unforgivable? Should we?"

L.I.E. (2001)

"What makes L.I.E. so compelling and disturbing is that in Cox's capable hands, we discover a human being inside the beast."

Ladder 49 (2004)

"I admire the effort. I just wasn't very interested."

The Ladies Man (2000)

Lakeboat (2001)

"The magic is in the words, and there's always laughter, anger and sadness to be found in David Mamet's poetry of inarticulateness."

Land of the Lost (2009)

"This is the worst adaptation of a classic kids TV show to the big screen since …well, since last year’s joyless movie Speed Racer. But Land raises the bar on joylessness."

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

"Everything in Cradle of Life has a kind of robotic precision to it, as if looking perfect were enough to give a movie a soul."

Lassie (2006)

"This is an earnest, likable -- and very, very pretty -- addition to its star’s remarkable history."

Last Days (2005)

"This is not a mainstream film. It’s an impressionistic, minimalist anti-movie that attempts to discover an existential truth by showing next to nothing."

The Last Mistress (2008)

"There’s plenty of skin and acrobatic positioning in Catherine Breillat’s The Last Mistress, but the ferocious passions they signify are far more interesting."

The Last Place on Earth (2002)

"Writer-producer- director James Slocum knows exactly what he's up against when his new half-million- dollar film The Last Place on Earth opens at the Glenwood Arts Theater in Overland Park today for its commercial debut."

Last Resort (2001)

"Effortlessly burrows beneath the surface of quietly desperate lives and finds the humanity within."

The Last Waltz (1978)

"The movie is no moldering time capsule. The film has been handsomely restored, and the new sound mix is remarkably rich."

Late Marriage (2001)

"This film feels truly lived in, and guides us without ever feeling manipulative or calculating. The performances are naturalistic and utterly convincing."

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

"Director F. Gary Gray keeps the thrills coming at a relentless pace that leaves little time to ponder the Mack truck-sized holes in the logic."

Leatherheads (2008)

""Zellweger's Lexie isn't some silly sexpot or spoiled simp; she's a thoroughly modern moll.""

Left Luggage (1998)

The Legend of Bagger Vance (1999)

"It's a fable, you see, and fables rarely have any substance. And being populated by stick figures, they are rarely compelling."

Léon the Professional (1994)

"Good, if not overrated. Reno is always a delight and a young Portman adds a lot to the heart and soul of the film."

Let the Right One In (2008)

"The best vampire movie of 2008 -- heck, the best vampire movie of the last 20 years -- is Let the Right One In."

Liam (2001)

"Despite the downbeat nature of the project, Frears delivers moments of surprising humor, tenderness and even hope."

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)

"For a while, Life Aquatic gets mileage out of its quirkiness and the promise that a real plot will kick in. But it's not to be, and for most of the film's second half it feels like Anderson and his characters are treading water."

The Life of David Gale (2003)

"David Gale makes the good ol' boy death penalty proponents look Neanderthal while inadvertently making their well-meaning opposition look psychotic. Who are we supposed to root for here?"

The Lion King (1994)

"A classic animated film. There's a reason it was the highest grossing animated flick until Finding Nemo came along...a marvel for all ages."

Lions for Lambs (2007)

"If your idea of a good time at the movies is watching paper-thin characters lob ideological grenades at one another, this is your dream date."
