Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |
"Directed with patient, low-key sensitivity, it never goes for a cheap laugh at its protagonist’s expense." |
David Ansen |
Tomato |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Forest Whitaker, uncorking the power that he usually holds in check, gives a chilling, bravura performance as Ugandan tyrant Idi Amin." |

The Last Samurai (2003) |
"There are pleasures to be had in the handsome, heroic The Last Samurai. But they're all on the surface." |

The Last Station (2009) |
"The Last Station slides gracefully between comedy and pathos (it aims for tragedy, but doesn't quite get there)." |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"Superbly acted, unblinking and unhysterical, it looks beyond politics into the hearts and minds of the men we needed to call 'the enemy,' and lets us see ourselves." |

Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"Carnahan's script is thoughtful, but its ideal venue may be a college debate class, not your local multiplex." |

Tomato |
Little Children (2006) |
"Wilson's overgrown adolescent, Winslet's bored, discontented wife and Haley's creepy, self-loathing sex offender are complex, deeply flawed characters -- they're the 'little children.'" |

Tomato |
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"This indie, a sweet, tart and smart satire about a family of losers in a world obsessed with winning, is an authentic crowd pleaser. There's been no more satisfying American comedy this year." |

The Lives of Others (2006) |

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) |

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) |
"What's remarkable is how immediately, after a full year, The Two Towers seizes your attention, and how urgently it holds you through three seamless, action-packed hours." |

Lost in Translation (2003) |
"With this film it becomes clear that Sofia Coppola is a filmmaker with eyes all her own." |

Love and Basketball (2000) |
"Love and Basketball never really reconciles the two elements of its title and ultimately basketball is forced to take a backseat to love." |

The Lovely Bones (2009) |
"How do you literalize heaven? It's a problem moviemakers have struggled with forever, and Jackson hasn't solved it." |

Lust, Caution (2007) |
"For all its hothouse passions and sometimes brutally explicit sex scenes, the storytelling seems curiously stolid, the style too movie-ish for its own good." |
