Madadayo (1993) |
"A lifetime of moviemaking -- Kurosawa was 83 when he made it -- seems to have pared down his technique to its essentials." |
Peter Rainer |

Mafioso (1962) |
"It’s a farce with a bitter edge -- a farce with no release." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Magnolia (1999) |
"I wish I could join in the chorus of praise..." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
The Maid (2009) |
"It’s a testament to Saavedra’s tough performance that even with a happy ending, you wouldn’t want to leave her with your kids." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Streep has a sweet voice and knows how to use it, but it’s sad to watch a perfectionist remove part of her brain and try to convince us she’s having a jolly time." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Mammoth (2009) |
"Too many films exploit the perils faced by children when the social contract is ruptured, but Mammoth earns its cruel, sensationalistic turns and then some." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"James Marsh’s rollicking documentary Man on Wire asks not 'Why?' but 'How the hell?'" |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Man Push Cart (2006) |
"Ramin Bahrani’s striking debut tracks a Pakistani street-cart vendor with a mysterious past as he pushes his steel box through Manhattan." |

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"The Man Who Wasn't There denatures pulp, and although I know this was the Coens' intention, it's not a particularly gratifying one. Their movie isn't there, either." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Far from a disgrace, but it's not freewheeling enough, not strange enough to make sense of our gathering dread." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Manda Bala (2007) |
"Jason Kohn’s gripping Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) is the opposite of a high-school science doc." |
David Edelstein |

Manderlay (2006) |
"Dig that freaky symbolism!" |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Manufactured Landscapes (2007) |
"An extraordinary visual record of change on an unprecedented scale." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"See the movie if you like emotional car wrecks and people who can’t hold their mud." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"This is one of the most immediate, personal costume dramas ever made, and so it’s not unseemly to consider how the writer-director and her heroine overlap." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Married Life (2008) |
"The movie is a goof on Hitchcock and Sirk -- a period (late forties) soap opera with nasty sexual undertones and the omnipresent threat of murder." |

Mean Girls (2004) |
"A smart little teen picture that, for a change, actually features recognizable teens." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Medicine for Melancholy (2009) |
"Smart, funny, and visually gorgeous, with the intimacy of a relationship drama and the resonance of a city portrait." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Meet the Parents (2000) |
"I had a good time at Meet the Parents, even though the ratio of clinkers to yucks is disproportionately high." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
Melinda and Melinda (2005) |
"Neither version of Melinda, despite Mitchell’s game try at making them distinctive beyond their different hairdos, is funny or tragic enough to fully engage us; there’s no opportunity for an audience to be moved." |

Men in Black II (2002) |
"The hang-loose grodiness of [the Men in Black films] has its charms, and the Ray-Banned team of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, at its best, is good vaudeville." |

The Messenger (2009) |
"I’m not sure how Morton made sense of her character’s ebbs and flows, but I never doubted her. She’s a mariner in uncharted seas of emotion." |

A Mighty Wind (2003) |

Mission: Impossible III (2006) |
"There are no flourishes to savor. Instead, there are big-deal stunts." |

Mister Lonely (2008) |
"The film is pretty ramshackle, full of obvious group improvisations that fail to spark and an overdose of bathos." |
