The Earrings of Madame De... (1953) |
"Three good reasons you should see The Earrings of Madame de … are the presence and performances of Danielle Darrieux, Charles Boyer and Vittorio De Sica. This celestial triangle has never been surpassed in grace, charm and, yes, wit and humor." |

Eastern Promises (2007) |
"I cannot easily recommend these delights to everyone, but my high regard for Mr. Cronenberg’s stylistic virtues remains largely undiminished." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"All told, a sparkling, classy and ultimately satisfying experience." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Eden (2008) |
"The acting alone makes this picture well worth seeing." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Edge of Heaven (2008) |
"The Edge of Heaven is a film to be seen, savored and thoughtfully appreciated." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Edmond (2006) |
"After a while, I simply couldn’t empathize with Edmond and all his pain and suffering, and certainly not with all his exposed bigotries and delusions." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Edmond (2006) |
"There is no question about the inspired tragedy and incinerating fury of Mr. Macy’s bravura center-ring performance." |

The Education of Charlie Banks (2009) |
"I fully recommend The Education of Charlie Banks to anyone looking for something truly and subtly different." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Edukators (2005) |
"This year’s most articulate statement on film about the current disillusion with politics among young people everywhere in the Western world." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Eight Below (2006) |
"Not since Lassie Come Home has there been such a wonderful film about the limitless bonds between men and dogs that triumph over adversity." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Election (2005) |
"Unlike the American crime genre, violence is viewed only as the last resort. In both films, there is a subtle suggestion that the children of the chairmen may pay the highest price for the criminal ascendancy of their fathers." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Elegy (2008) |
"If I recommend Elegy to my readers, it is not as a licentiously escapist entertainment, but, rather, as a soberingly eloquent expression of what our lives are all about, whether we want to think about them or not." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Elegy (2008) |
"A depressing but well-made adaptation of a Philip Roth novella by Spanish director Isabel Coixet." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Elephant (2003) |
"Elephant is so contrived and minimalistic that it has the dramatic effect of a line drawing." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Elevator to the Gallows (1957) |
"Don't miss this opportunity to see the movie that launched the legend of Jeanne Moreau." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Shekhar Kapur’s Elizabeth: The Golden Age, from a screenplay by William Nicholson and Michael Hirst, turned out to be more rousingly entertaining than many of its less-than-lukewarm reviews had led me to anticipate." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Elling (2002) |
"A singularly affecting and amusing fable." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Embalmer (2003) |
"Brilliantly creates an atmosphere of malignant malaise and foreboding." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Empathy (2004) |
"Flows with a certain grace and smoothness, due largely to the sense of psychic mystery projected by a sweet actress, Gigi Buffington." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"This is a film of enormous heart, compassion and intelligence that tackles vital issues with wrenching, thought-provoking honesty and cinematic skill." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"This is a good yarn, successful and insightful, well-told and well-acted." |

The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"Should move you even if you’re not familiar with the extensive literature and museum exhibition on the subject produced over the past few years." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"A riveting, revealing and powerful film about the surprising shades and evolving emotions of love." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Enigma (2002) |
"Enigma is anything but enigmatic about affairs of the heart, and is well worth seeing for its elective affinities alone." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Enigma (2002) |
"Visits spy-movie territory like a novel you can’t put down, examines a footnote to history seldom brought to light on the screen, and keeps you guessing from first frame to last." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Enough (2002) |
"Enough trivializes an important crisis, reduces it to an almost comic embarrassment." |

Eros (2005) |
"Eros comes nowhere near meeting the challenge of its title when compared to the increasingly lewd standards of our current cinema." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Eros (2005) |
"A triptych only a film festival could love." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Escapist (2009) |
"The prison escape movie -- a tired genre -- gets some fresh energy in The Escapist, a compelling, carefully written and totally gripping film from the U.K. that is acted with naturalism and conviction by a smashing cast." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Esther Kahn (2002) |
"Ms. Phoenix is completely lacking in charm and charisma, and is unable to project either Esther’s initial anomie or her eventual awakening." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"There is little charm in the coupling and almost no erotic intimacy, just a series of nerve-racking conversational collisions." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Eve's Bayou (1997) |
"A sparkling directorial debut." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Even Money (2007) |
"Cleverly plotted, suspensefully structured, professionally acted and tightly written." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Evening (2007) |
"The novel is too dense, too multilayered, too overpopulated to make a satisfactory film that is also faithful to the book." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Everybody's Fine (2009) |
"Everyone works well under the perfunctory direction of Kirk Jones, but even with an easily resolved fade-out replete with turkey and cranberry sauce, Everybody’s Fine has the look and taste of leftovers." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
eXistenZ (1999) |
"I just don't happen to like puzzle films of any kind, but I must credit Mr. Cronenberg with more intellectual depth than most of his fellow pessimistic movie pranksters." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Experiment (2002) |
"It is in the camera details rather than the grand design that Das Experiment excels." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Exterminating Angels (2007) |
"Mr. Brisseau honors the infinitely varying psyches of his female subjects. One may scoff at his voyeuristic self-indulgence, but when you come right down to it, isn’t that what the cinema is all about, one way or another?" |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
The Eye (2003) |
"It's more concerned with images and clashing electronic music than challenging the imagination or brutalizing the senses." |

Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"I kept my eyes wide open all through Eyes Wide Shut and saw more control-freak unreality than visual genius around the edges of the cluttered compositions." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Ezra (2008) |
"The film is awash with good intentions, and the actual atrocities are vividly depicted and chilling... but the film loses its momentum when it attempts to analyze the evils of poverty, anarchy and violence." |
