Saint of 9/11 (2006) |
"Certainly, this documentary honors Judge’s memory, but one wishes for something greater." |

Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008) |
"In Sangre de mi Sangre, Christopher Zalla serves up an old-fashioned, sentimental weeper with a sucker punch of urban-immigrant horror." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Savage Grace (2008) |
"In its frigid way, Savage Grace is potent: It makes incest a state of mind." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Savages (2007) |
"The Savages is a delightful movie -- the perfect companion piece (and antidote) to the year’s other superb convalescent-dementia picture, Away From Her." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Saved! (2004) |
"No doubt the filmmakers are bracing for -- even hoping for -- a display of ire from religious conservatives. But the truth is, nothing in Saved! stings." |

Saving Private Ryan (1998) |
"Spielberg has taken us back to basics -- back to art, back to amazement at the film medium itself." |
David Denby |
Splat |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"Scary Movie 2 isn't scary, funny-scary, or even just plain funny." |

Scotland, PA (2002) |
"It's an indication of the movie's cluelessness that Walken is cast as the one true voice of sanity." |

Screamers (2006) |
"It raises more questions than it answers, but the passion is more than welcome-from both the band and director Carla Garapedian." |

Secretary (2002) |
"For all its Bunuellian pretensions, Secretary is deeply conventional: Edward and Lee accept their bondage as the way to a more fulfilling life. It's the filmmakers who need to be spanked." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
September 11 (2003) |
"An ungainly, intermittently harrowing omnibus filled with moments of piercing sorrow and rage." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Seraphim Falls (2007) |
"The director, David Von Ancken, and his cinematographer, John Toll, do magical things with the ever-shifting light, and there are splendidly weird turns from Anjelica Huston as a snake-oil salesperson and Tom Noonan as a wagon-train Evangelist." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Séraphine (2008) |
"Séraphine is one of the most evocative films about an artist I’ve ever seen -- and in its treatment of madness one of the least condescending." |

A Serious Man (2009) |

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |
"Sex and the City: The Motion Picture (not the actual title) is a joyful wallow. And it’s more: In this summer of do-overs (The Incredible Hulk, a new Batman versus a new Joker), it’s what the series finale should have been." |
David Edelstein |

Sex Drive (2008) |

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) |

Sherrybaby (2006) |

Shine a Light (2008) |
"[Scorsese] comes at the Stones from every imaginable angle. He voodoos the footage into a fluid whole." |

The Shipping News (2001) |
"The movie has a modest but true feeling for the ways in which people are formed by the ravages of their natural surroundings." |
Peter Rainer |

Shooter (2007) |
"This is the first big-studio action picture (the director is Antoine Fuqua) with some of the disgusted, bloody nihilism of the post-Vietnam era." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Shopgirl (2005) |
"A slim, charming, romantic story, full of intentionally mild humor about strong themes -- passion, commitment, loneliness." |
Ken Tucker |

Shotgun Stories (2007) |

Shrek the Third (2007) |
"Computer-generated animated movies with wall-to-wall jokes can be excruciating, but these jokes are the funniest money can buy." |

Shut Up & Sing (2006) |
"Shut Up & Sing should be one of the great inspirational stories of our time." |

Sicko (2007) |
"Sicko is Moore’s best film: a documentary that mixes outrage, hope, and gonzo stunts in the right proportions; and that throws an unforgiving spotlight on what is, in both senses, the elephant in the room." |
