Tomato 3/4 |
L'Enfant (2006) |
"For all the squalor and extremely upsetting subject matter, you can't take your eyes off the screen. The Dardennes have a gift of finding a sort of beauty in ugliness." |
Ruthe Stein |

L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"This is about one of the best crime dramas in years." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
L.A. Twister (2004) |
"The semiserious comedy by director Sven Pape is in its own category, and unfortunately it's not always an interesting one." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 2/4 |
L.I.E. (2001) |
"A provocative, upsetting film." |

Tomato 2/4 |
La Buche (2000) |
"The tone is light, the Michel Legrand music is high in calories and the result is a very handsome, well-appointed soap opera." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 4/4 |
La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet (2009) |
"La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet, Frederick Wiseman's astoundingly beautiful documentary, has sumptuous delights to satisfy every balletomane." |
John R. Killacky |
Tomato 4/4 |
La Dolce Vita (1960) |
"It received universal acclaim upon its release in 1960, and in retrospect it's the work that best represents its director." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
La Jetée (1962) |
"This is Marker's masterpiece." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 2/4 |
La Ley De Herodes (2000) |
"Alcazar makes a deft transition from idiot to maniac, serving as an anchor for the broad performances around him." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
La Mentale: The Code (2004) |
"Think of The Code as an episode of The Sopranos stripped of humor or much insight." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
La Moustache (2005) |
"I found it mesmerizing from beginning to end." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"La Vie en Rose is a life seen through a glass tinted darkly, with Cotillard glittering fiercely before the light goes out." |
Steven Winn |
Tomato 3/4 |
La Vie Promise |
"Like an old Hollywood star vehicle, this French import does its job, providing its lead actress with compelling emotional circumstances and its audience with arresting contexts through which to perceive her." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"In its determination to create a tribute, the filmmakers smooth too many edges and simplify too many complex emotions." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2/4 |
Ladies in Lavender (2005) |
"There are two royal reasons to see the film -- Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith, both over 70 and still very much in their prime." |

Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007) |
"Needlessly complicated and kind of silly." |

Splat 2/4 |
The Lady and the Duke (2002) |
"Seeing the paint actually dry, however, would probably be more fun than most of this overly expository film." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"This latest effort, winner of five César awards (the French Oscar) including for best film and actress, is supremely sensuous -- while presenting an intriguingly complex Constance." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Lady In Question is Charles Busch (2006) |
"Affectionately observed, nimbly edited (and perhaps a mite overly reverent) documentary." |
Joe Brown |
Splat 2/4 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"With his work beginning to seem as insular as the communities he's imagining, Shyamalan really needs to try directing someone else's screenplay." |

Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"Powered by a glowering performance by actress Lee Young Ae, it is a walloping tale." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Splat 2/4 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"Never settles into an assured rhythm, and instead the actors always seem to be pushing, putting the hard sell on an audience that, however distracted by the strenuousness of the sales pitch, still isn't buying." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Lagaan (2001) |
"A rippingly good, old-fashioned movie epic that takes the best of Bollywood cinema ... and elevates it for an international audience." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) |
"In the end, Marconi's point of view makes for an ultimately frustrating, if still fascinating, 87 minutes of cinema." |
Sylvia Rubin |
Splat 2/4 |
Lake City (2008) |
"With all the high-profile movies blasting into theaters at this time of year, Lake City will probably get lost in the shuffle. That won't be a tragedy." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"It's a delicate, hyper-romantic atmosphere, pensive and steeped in longing, that covers over the story's inconsistencies -- or at least offers enough distraction to make us not care." |
Mick LaSalle |

Lakeboat (2001) |
"A first-rate movie made from one of David Mamet's lesser plays." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"In its overall shape and message, Lakeview Terrace is a conventional suspense thriller, but the details kick it up a notch." |

Lantana (2001) |
"After seeing [LaPaglia] in Lantana, no one will ever look at him without recognizing an actor of the first rank." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2/4 |
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"Without sacrificing velocity, de Bont gives us a clean, watchable film, with some exciting sequences." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"The herald of a cold, heartless, soul-dead cinema for a numbed audience with no interest in human emotion, just a craving to have its synapses jolted." |

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) |
"When lists of the 10 worst movies of 2006 start coming out, you'll know it's been a truly abominable year if Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector doesn't rate a slot near the top." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |
"One could be led to expect something arch and knowing, but the film is anything but that. It's an emotionally invested movie about loneliness and the lingering scars of early trauma." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Last Castle (2001) |
"The Last Castle is not as simple as it looks, though its appeal is simple." |
Mick LaSalle |

Last Days (2005) |
"Seamlessly and rather cleverly, without telling anybody, Gus Van Sant has transitioned out of important filmmaking and has taken up a new career in torture." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Last Days of Disco (1998) |
"In its last hour, the picture becomes more clumsy and tiresome, but the stray laugh and the disco sound keep it pulsing." |
