A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"The stars [Reeves, Downey Jr., Harrelson, Ryder and Cochrane] are at one with Linklater and his vision of a future, screwed up world (like this one isn't screwed up!)." |

A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"Jacquot has really excelled at recreating another era - the movie feels like a lost New Wave film just coming to light." |

A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"A Tout de Suite is a sometimes-interesting film, particularly its first 30 minutes, but runs on long after the intrigue ends..." |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A.I. is certainly more thought provoking than any summer blockbuster we've been presented with yet this season, but it leaves us wishing Spielberg had applied more of Kubrick's obsessive fine tuning." |

Abandon (2002) |

Absurdistan (2008) |
"As in "Tuvalu," Veit's style is reminiscent of both France's Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicattessen") with their whimsical machinery and surreal worlds and Canada's Guy Maddin's use of silent film standards..." |

Actresses (2007) |
"Valeria Bruni Tedeschi does a terrific job with her portrayal of an actress who has trouble unraveling her life from her performance, but the setting she gives this gem doesn't show it off in its best light." |

Actresses (2007) |

Adam (2009) |
"Mayer and his lead, Hugh Dancy, do a fine job conveying where an 'Aspie' is coming from, but Mayer's direction of his actors is weak with several scenes notable for off timing, amateurishness or staginess." |
