Tomato

I Am Legend (2007)

"I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more horror than heart, but it is never boring."

Rex Reed

Tomato

I Am Sam (2002)

"Another spectacular workout by the versatile and indefatigable Sean Penn saves the sudsy I Am Sam from the rinse cycle."

Rex Reed

I Capture the Castle (2003)

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"It is difficult for me to describe how sweet and buoyant I found the film, despite its seemingly excessive stylization."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"Sinks to new depths of incoherent pretentiousness."

Rex Reed

Tomato

I Served the King of England (2008)

"I Served the King of England ends up a curious combination of raunchy merriment and malignant undercurrents."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I Vitelloni (1953)

"It's my favorite Fellini film, possibly his most personal effort and by far his funniest."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"Does the film work? All I know is that it stays in my mind for its ambitiously autumnal essence, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"A tight, well-made, evocative piece of filmmaking for true connoisseurs of gangster movies that is unnerving, yet completely sure of every step it takes."

Rex Reed

Tomato

I'm Going Home (2002)

"An old man's film in terms of its subject, star and protagonist, 76-year-old Michel Piccoli, but not in terms of its rigorous style or its austere denial of sentimentality and self-pity."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"Haunting and suspenseful."

Rex Reed

Splat

I'm Not There (2007)

"I cannot believe this is the Todd Haynes who topped my ten-best list in 2002 with the magnificent, unforgettable Far From Heaven. Headed for the No. 1 spot on my ten-worst list, I’m Not There is a tumultuous disappointment."

Rex Reed

Tomato

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"Mr. Claudel has made a grown-up film for our troubled time, and created a beautiful rapport between two gifted actresses."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"This is an amazing film for a directorial debut, but Mr. Claudel eschews sentimentality with what practically amounts to quiet heroism."

Rex Reed

Tomato

I, Robot (2004)

"For all its flaws, I, Robot is arresting to look at."

Rex Reed

Tomato

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"Nielsen’s Renata is icy cold in her calculations, and an object lesson in how to play a lethal charmer plausibly without losing any of her erotic appeal. She alone is worth the price of admission."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Identity (2003)

"A lame-brained nut job in search of an identity of its own."

Rex Reed

Tomato

If I Didn't Care (2007)

"A tight, surprising little thriller that strongly captures the bogus appeal of life in the Hamptons."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"The kind of film in which everyone's point of view is respected ... and yet everyone, including Igby, remains something of a mystery. Nobody wins, and nobody loses. This is one grown-up movie."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"It's been a long time since the screen has produced a more charmingly muddled or more consistently interesting kid than 17-year-old Jason (Igby) Slocumb."

Rex Reed

Tomato

The Illusionist (2006)

"A richly textured and very entertaining movie that actually knows the value of telling a good story with skill, precision and excitement."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"An honorable and superbly articulated film."

Rex Reed

Splat

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"Though Mr. Parker's The Importance of Being Earnest is pleasant enough in its casting and performances, it doesn't work as it should."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"The film is a fragile frolic, but the real theme enjoyed by countless audiences through the years -- the importance of being earnest instead of deceitful in matters of the heart -- still shines through the frosting."

Rex Reed

In & Out (1997)

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In America (2003)

"Redeemed by the joyousness of family life that Mr. Sheridan captures from his agile and resourceful foursome."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In America (2003)

"Insightful, joyous and positively heart-stopping."

Rex Reed

Tomato

In Bruges (2008)

"Not entertainment for the faint-hearted and mindlessly censorious, and in this particularly chaotic period, it seems right in tune with the times. It goes almost without saying that the acting of the three leads is, in a word, splendid."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

In Bruges (2008)

"A gruesome, confused stumblebum of a movie."

Rex Reed

Tomato

In Good Company (2004)

"Not only the best American picture of 2004, but also the most grown-up movie to come from Hollywood in recent years."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In Her Shoes (2005)

"The movie gets much, much better as it goes along."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In Her Shoes (2005)

"This marvelous, up-with-the-lark movie stays sunny all day, with wit and intelligence to spare."

Rex Reed

Splat

In July (2000)

"The romance is always too close to knockabout farce to allow any variations in the formula."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

In Praise of Love (2001)

"In my own very humble opinion, In Praise of Love lacks even the most fragmented charms I have found in almost all of his previous works."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)

"In Search of a Midnight Kiss overcomes patches of overwriting to end up as a film well worth watching, and Mr. Holdridge as a writer-director to be remembered for future reference."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In the Bedroom (2001)

"Brilliant, lyrical, sensitive, literate and heartbreaking."

Rex Reed

Tomato

In the Cut (2003)

"I found the movie reasonably absorbing from moment to moment."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

In the Cut (2003)

"It is nasty, gruesome, pointlessly kinky and gratuitously awful."

Rex Reed

Tomato

In the Land of Women (2007)

"it is amazing to discover just how much this absorbing, intelligent picture has going for it: a strong sense of time and place, interesting characters, painfully sincere direction and an intriguing scenario that pauses and breathes in all the right places"

Rex Reed

In the Mood for Love (2001)

Click here to see the review.

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)

"David Sington’s In the Shadow of the Moon moved me to the extremes of nostalgia, regret and outright admiration as no other movie has moved me this year, even though -- or perhaps because -- it is a mere documentary."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

In This World (2003)

"In This World is not a facile entertainment, but a prescribed cure for one's compassion fatigue."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

The In-Laws (2003)

"Amazingly, the two versions have hit the casting bull's-eye twice in 24 years to provide superior entertainment."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

The In-Laws (2003)

"Humdrum direction fails to elevate an already bankrupt idea from its relentless doldrums."

Rex Reed

Splat

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

"It’s dismaying to think of all the wonderful performances Edward Norton has given in movies nobody ever saw. This one is high-octane slumming that will keep him in Bentleys for years."

Rex Reed

Tomato

The Incredibles (2004)

"The often wry and pointed dialogue reminded me of the glory days of radio."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

"It’s as contrived and convoluted as all the other Indiana Jones movies, but not as much fun."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Infamous (2006)

"Infamous is infinitely fascinating, cinematically breathtaking and largely impeccable."

Rex Reed

Splat

The Informers (2009)

"A rancid load of swill called The Informers, from a depraved 1994 book by Bret Easton Ellis, is, like The Soloist, a look at the underbelly of L.A., but the resemblance ends there."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

"World War II was more serious, complex and horrifying than all this comic embellishment, but if I sound critical, I apologize in advance. I had a helluva time watching Inglourious Basterds."

Rex Reed
