M (1931) |
"It's an impeccable film -- a model of psychological suspense and a stunning display of Lang's power and skill." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 1/4 |
Ma Mere (2005) |
"110 minutes of Euro silliness mitigated only by the presence of Huppert and the striking ability of the actors to keep a straight face throughout this mess." |

Maborosi (1995) |
"Nothing is casual and nothing is wasted in Maborosi." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Macbeth (2007) |
"A novelty that the Bard's worshipers will probably find blasphemous and everyone else a puzzlement, although far from a bore." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Machinist (2004) |
"Mainly this is all Bale's show. He is strangely sympathetic, taking us right into Trevor's pain without any special pleading." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Machuca (2005) |
"It's a sensitively wrought work that reveals a time in Chile when class differences were both ignored and emphasized, depending on your perspective." |
Jonathan Curiel |

Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"Watching the kids dance is irresistible, but director Marilyn Agrelo is sensitive to the full complex of emotions invoked by the competition." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Mad Love (2001) |
"A sexy, peculiar and always entertaining costume drama set in Renaissance Spain, and the fact that it's based on true events somehow makes it all the more compelling." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"It's just OK, one of those decent little movies that get released in January." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madadayo (1993) |
"This warm, celebratory and very public film is punctuated by sudden and luminous private visualizations." |
Bob Graham |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"What makes it good is that the story is a kind of parable that suggests some seriousness beneath the surface, even sadness." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"The animation is sharp, and whenever things start to get confusing, a penguin or lemur comes onscreen and does something really funny." |

Joshua Kosman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madame Sata (2003) |
"Brazilian filmmaker Karim Ainouz doesn't glorify dos Santos but examines the hot, reckless fever of his life in all its thorny complexity." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Made (2001) |
"The comic invention at work here -- Vaughn's and Favreau's -- make Made into a rough gem." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"This is silly stuff, made of cardboard, with one of those Gordian-knot plots that could easily be cut through by one person's simply being honest with another person for 30 whole seconds. There's not much more to say." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"Family Reunion doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or a drama and ends up as mostly a melodrama with scenes that would be embarrassing on a soap opera." |

The Madness of King George (1995) |
"In its own shambling, elliptical way it's an entertaining, memorable movie whose 2 1/2 hours go by without strain." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Maelström (2002) |
"An original little film about one young woman's education." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Mafioso (1962) |
"If you crossed Meet the Parents with The Godfather and filmed it 45 years ago in Italian, you might come close to Mafioso, a black-and-white gem from 1962 whose appearance in local theaters is inexplicable but most welcome." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"A powerful document of cruelty and sadism." |

Magnolia (1999) |
"In the most amazing performance of many here, Tom Cruise plays the charismatic guru of a cultish self-help 'seminar' for would- be macho lady-killers." |
Bob Graham |
Splat 2/4 |
Mahanagar (1963) |
"There are so many ways in which Ray is entitled to demand respect that I felt absolutely naughty wanting something to happen quickly." |
Leah Garchik |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Maid (2009) |
"With a few brushstrokes, Sebastian Silva communicates the complicated social and moral dynamic involved in having a live-in maid." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"The movie would almost qualify as pleasant, were it not for a certain condescension in its treatment of working-class life and its offhand assumption that lives not buoyed by riches or aggrandized by fame are hardly worth living." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mail Order Wife (2005) |
"Co-directors Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland, who appear as earnest documentary filmmakers of the same name, pull it off by never winking at the audience or signaling in any fashion that this isn't a true story." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Majestic (2001) |
"I think Americans are in the mood today for a sentimental movie about their values, and, frankly, it's wonderful to see people get teary-eyed over the First Amendment." |
Bob Graham |

Make it Funky! (2005) |
"The brilliant colors, the vibrant flavors and sultry, seductive rhythms of New Orleans music serve to remind us how unique, beautiful and valuable the city and its heritage are to all of us in this country." |
Joel Selvin |
Tomato 4/4 |
Maléna (2000) |
"[Tornatore] eludes sentimentality with a romantic vision wide enough to embrace the range of human experience." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"As a star vehicle for Kennedy, Malibu doesn't advance the ball, but the timing could be perfect to grab the eager-for -the-end -of-school crowd." |
C.W. Nevius |
2/4 |
Mallrats (1995) |
"The movie has a few amusing '70s references and there's a wonderfully weird sequence featuring a topless fortune-teller. Overall, though, moviegoers can find much better deals." |
Peter Stack |
Tomato 2/4 |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"Like Greek Wedding, Mambo has enough funny moments to save it." |

"The Man arrives in theaters today with a sheet over its head and a tag on its toe." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"It's hard to approach a movie like this expecting Citizen Kane ... But I did expect a good Vin Diesel movie, a showcase for this magnetic actor's personality. That's where A Man Apart falls short." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"It's a listless, predictable effort, occasionally redeemed by witty lines and charismatic performers." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 2/4 |
Man in the Chair (2007) |
"For its first 45 minutes or so, and intermittently thereafter, Michael Schroeder's Man in the Chair feels, annoyingly, like a film school project." |
