Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
3/4

V For Vendetta (2005)

"This futuristic nightmare grasps at the same visceral uneasiness that juiced Matrix's cult before its impact was dulled by bloated sequels."

Gene Seymour

Tomato

Va Savoir (2001)

"Sexy and cerebral romantic roundelay."

Gene Seymour

Tomato
2.5/4

Vacancy (2007)

"An all-night cat-and-mouse game, conducted with antic drive by director Nimrod Antal and carried along with conviction by the cast."

Gene Seymour

Splat

Valentine (2001)

"The eeriest moment was easily the movie's last, after the nonsensically contrived climax provided a classic interactive moment. 'Sequel!' the audience moaned."

John Anderson

Tomato
3/4

Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)

"This documentary, chronicling two years leading up to his spectacular 45th anniversary gala in 2007 by the Colosseum in Rome, is as much about the brand and harsh realities of the fashion biz as the man himself."

Joseph M. Amodio

Tomato
3/4

The Valet (2007)

"It hurtles toward its foregone denouement with such a whirligig gust of madcap spirits, you might need to readjust your hair as you head out of the theater."

Jan Stuart

Splat
2/4

Valiant (2005)

"Valiant seems built merely to distract and divert for a brisk hour-and-small-change."

Gene Seymour

Tomato
3/4

Valkyrie (2008)

"Based on a true story, Valkyrie aims to be a thriller, not an issues movie, and it succeeds."

Rafer Guzman

Splat
1.5/4

Van Helsing (2004)

"A mess, but not a fun mess."

John Anderson

Splat

Vanilla Sky (2001)

"[Crowe] should stick to more conventional narratives and leave the cerebral gymnastics to someone who can handle them."

John Anderson

Tomato
2.5/4

Vanity Fair (2004)

"As a film, Vanity Fair has a lot going for it -- including acting and energy."

John Anderson

Splat
2/4

Vantage Point (2008)

"An assassination thriller that boasts the glossy tourist vistas of an airline magazine combined with a serious case of instant-replay-itis."

Jan Stuart

Splat

Vatel (2000)

"An improbable, if sumptuous, bore."

Jan Stuart

Tomato
4/4

Venus (2006)

"The script by Hanif Kureishi is smart, witty, understated and fits O'Toole to a T."

John Anderson

Splat
1.5/4

Venus and Mars (2003)

"Venus and Mars has nothing to do with the ubiquitous John Gray book. And is, essentially, about the inevitable redeeming power of love. Which, unfortunately, is not what one is feeling when the credits finally roll."

John Anderson

Tomato
2.5/4

Venus Boyz (2003)

"Though it sometimes errs on the side of artiness, the film offers considerable illumination on the lives of those who live and thrive along sexuality's margins."

Gene Seymour

Tomato
4/4

Vera Drake (2004)

"Vera is given a thoroughly devastating portrayal by Imelda Staunton, in the kind of role that elevates an actress into a lofty realm where those who never knew her suddenly knew it all along."

John Anderson

Tomato
3.5/4

Verdict on Auschwitz: The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965 (2007)

"That our fascination with mostly recorded words can be successfully sustained for three hours is a tribute to the fine work by filmmakers Rolf Bickel and Dietrich Wagner."

Gene Seymour

Splat
2/4

Veronica Guerin (2003)

"A good story, told with the usual Jerry Bruckheimer-Joel Schumacher glibness/pseudo-social concern."

John Anderson

Splat

Vertical Limit (2000)

"There's a huge surplus of edge-of-your-seat whatevers in this thin-air thriller about a rescue mission on K2. But by the end, you can't tell who's got more bruises: the actors or your nerves."

Gene Seymour

Tomato

The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2001)

"[Tran's] portrait of a country not quite his own is a gesture of poetry and romanticized memory."

John Anderson

Splat
1.5/4

Very Annie Mary (2001)

"It is not the first time that director Sara Sugarman stoops to having characters drop their pants for laughs and not the last time she fails to provoke them."

Jan Stuart

Tomato
3.5/4

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

"Another year, another minor masterpiece from writer-director Woody Allen."

Rafer Guzman

Splat
1.5/4

View from the Top (2003)

"You might need to recycle your popcorn cup as a flight sickness bag, as View From the Top swoops and nose-dives between Myers' mugging and Bergen's high-comedy professionalism."

Jan Stuart

Tomato
3/4

The Village (2004)

"High on foreboding atmospherics and low on goosebumps."

Jan Stuart

Splat
2/4

Vitus (2007)

"To those of us for whom there can never be enough film dramas with a classical music backdrop, Vitus comes as a bit of a disappointment."

Jan Stuart

Splat
1/4

Viva (2008)

"You can't create camp on purpose."

Rafer Guzman

Tomato
3.5/4

Volver (2006)

"Cruz has never been more radiant and funny: Comparisons to Sophia Loren in her Vittorio DeSica heyday are flying about, and richly warranted."

Jan Stuart

Splat
.5/4

Vulgar (2002)

"It's hard to imagine any recent film, independent or otherwise, that makes as much of a mess as this one."

Gene Seymour
