O (2001) |
"In the end, the Shakespearean ideas collapse on film because of the youthful callowness of the characters." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
O (2001) |
"Nothing about O rings true." |

Oasis (2004) |
"Take my word for it: Oasis is one of the most deeply felt love stories of the screen in ways that you must endure a little suffering of your own to appreciate." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Ocean's Eleven (2001) |
"It's extremely confusing, but you quickly learn to ignore the details and just watch the glam cast have fun." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) |
"Flat, abstruse, predictable and unable to raise your pulse rate higher than a blip on an EKG." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Ocean's Twelve (2004) |
"Hits a new low in condescending facetiousness, with no fewer than 15 performers of varying talents, tongues firmly in cheeks, undercutting all the genre's action conventions while camping up a storm on two continents." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Off the Map (2005) |
"A well-intended but weak and plodding art-house pretender." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
The Oh in Ohio (2006) |
"This is a mindless comedy about sex that is never remotely funny, with a cast that is never remotely sexy, and which, in one case, is downright revolting." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Old Joy (2006) |
"Let us say simply that Ms. Reichardt’s brand of minimalism leaves me truly joyless." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Oldboy (2005) |
"As pointless as it is shocking." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Omen (2006) |
"I don’t approve of remakes, but The Omen redux is riveting, imaginative and ultimately bone-chillingly satisfying." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
On Guard (1997) |
"The film's frenetic action takes place across beautifully rendered landscapes, and the ever-lunging ambitiousness and ingenuity in its wordplay justifies the fencing term employed for the film's release in America." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Once (2007) |
"Don't miss Once. It has to be seen and heard to be believed and enjoyed." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Once Upon a Time in the West (1969) |
"Leone (1921-1989) is here at the peak of his epic powers." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
One Day You'll Understand (2008) |
"The casting of 80-year-old Jeanne Moreau provides much of the raison d’être for the project. It is only the latest manifestation of the deep respect the French cinema has always shown for its aging actresses and actors." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
One Hour Photo (2002) |
"One Hour Photo, written and directed by Mark Romanek, provides not only a flashy acting vehicle for Mr. Williams, but also a haunting, profound meditation on the way photography has changed the way we think about ourselves." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
One Hour Photo (2002) |
"Robin Williams fans have seen all the faces and heard all the voices before, but rarely have so many skills combined to forge one creepy, unforgettable character with such uncharacteristic subtlety." |

On_Line (2002) |
"On_Line is the kind of thing I dread -- a movie about digital technology directed by an expert in interactive media and video games." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Open Range (2003) |
"A juicy, character-driven western with a real plot that spins a hypnotic narrative." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Open Water (2004) |
"One of the most galvanizing and unforgettable films of the year." |
Rex Reed |

The Operator (2001) |
"The problem with the central character is that he starts off on such a low note of weak resistance that he doesn’t have all that far to fall." |

Or (My Treasure) (2005) |
"Ms. Yedaya may have made a subtler and more interesting film about prostitution than she originally intended." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Order of Myths (2008) |
"To say each group takes this tradition seriously can in no way convey the absolute nuttiness and frenzy that filmmaker Margaret Brown has captured." |
Sara Vilkomerson |
Splat |
Original Sin (2001) |
"High on lust and low on logic, the preposterous Original Sin is an erotic thriller that evokes more laughs than sweat." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Orwell Rolls In His Grave (2004) |
"The war against the neo-fascists still goes on, and the outcome at this point is far from certain. Mr. Pappas' film does its part." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Osama (2003) |
"I found Mr. Barmak's direction too by-the-numbers, and Ms. Goldbahari's Osama a one-note performance in her relentlessly whimpering (though perfectly understandable) self-pity." |

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2008) |
"I have never been a particular admirer of either James Bond or Austin Powers, and could hardly be expected to be overjoyed by a 'cross between them.' Hence, I was hardly surprised when I didn’t crack a smile over the antics of Mr. Jean Dujardin." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) |
"A sexy Tudor soap opera about the beautiful, sensual and tragic second wife of Henry VIII." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
The Other Man (2009) |
"Despite the gimlet eye of Richard Eyre, former director of England’s Royal National Theatre, and the top-echelon talents of an impressive cast, a dreary, disabled disaster called The Other Man drops dead at the starting gate." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Others (2001) |
"The Others is a horror movie in which the scary elements are all psychological, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sometimes jolt the senses." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Out of Sight (1998) |
"From the first shot to the last, Mr. Clooney is in complete command of the screen in the assured manner of the biggest stars in the past, and he doesn't need a ton of special effects and digital enhancement to generate excitement." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Oyster Farmer (2005) |
"As an uplifting, enriching series of tableaux of village life in a remote part of the world that few of us will ever experience firsthand, it is never overplayed, but rather beautifully executed by director and cast alike." |
