A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"The brilliance of A Scanner Darkly is how it suggests, without bombast or fanfare, the ways in which the real world has come to resemble the dark world of comic books." | |
Carina Chocano | |

A Tout de Suite (2005) |
|
"It's hard to imagine many films surpassing or even equaling the effect of this supple, breathtakingly direct, small French film." | |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"A not quite seamless, not completely satisfying but invariably attention-grabbing combination of divergent themes, genres and even story lines." | |
Kenneth Turan | |
|
|
|
| |
2/5 |
|
Abandon (2002) |
|
"A trite psychological thriller designed to keep the audience guessing and guessing -- which is not to be confused with suspecting -- until it comes time to wrap things up and send the viewers home." | |
Kevin Thomas | |

3.5/5 |

ABCD (2001) |
|
"It's polished without being slick; well-paced and graceful and brought alive by stellar performances led by Jaffrey." | |

4/5 |
|
Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"The story it tells is a shattering mystery of violation and loss, if only because by the end, certain answers only lead to more punishing questions." | |

Aberdeen (2001) |

|
About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Perfectly pitched between comedy and tragedy, hope and despair, About Schmidt instead comes far closer than many movies to expressing the way many of us live -- someplace between consuming self-absorption and insistently demanding otherness." | |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"Impressive as is Wilson's output and oeuvre, it's the fully-engaged, aesthetically driven life that fascinates. And Otto-Bernstein's movie is a portrait of an artist at his most essential, in every sense." | |

Adam & Steve (2006) |
|
"Much of Craig Chester's good-hearted love story Adam & Steve is silly and contrived, but the film boasts four engaging actors, including Chester." | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |

|
After The Wedding (2007) |
|
"It's that paradoxical melodrama that point-blank refuses to acknowledge that it's being melodramatic, conveying its scenario with enough intensity, psychological acuity and forceful acting to ignore labels and flat-out overpower audiences." | |
Kenneth Turan | |
|
|
|

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

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |

The Air I Breathe (2007) |
|
"A stew of cheap irony, ponderous but meaningless allegory, violence and pretension, the movie is all borrowed style and calculated pandering. It does, however, get more ludicrous by the minute. So in that sense, it's good for an occasional laugh." | |
