Yana's Friends |
"A warm humanity washes over this lovely film, whose message is that gestures of love, however small or awkward, are crucial to the complicated art of survival." |
Peter Stack |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yang Ban Xi - The Eight Model Works (2006) |
"A proper labor of love profiling many of the principles involved in the making of the films, peppered with a generous helping of wonderful clips." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato 2/4 |
The Yards (2000) |
"The temptations of corruption, its insidiousness and how it is covered up by a code of silence not only form a compelling subject but have the ring of truth." |
Bob Graham |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Year of the Dog (2007) |
"Year of the Dog is one of those quirky little movies that you marvel ever got made while being supremely grateful that it did. It's hard to even categorize." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
Year of the Fish (2008) |
"Too raw for kids and too simplistic for adults." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Tomato 3/4 |
Year of the Horse: Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live (1997) |
"This is an intimate, lyrical yet incendiary film, and it will please fans of both Young and Jarmusch." |
Peter Stack |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Year of the Yao (2005) |
"A surprisingly layered portrait of a rookie with the hopes of a nation -- a big nation -- riding on his shoulders, and the frustrations and small victories that entails." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Year One (2009) |
"Year One has one joke, but it's a good one, played for many variations over the course of an often very funny comedy." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2/4 |
A Year Without Love (2006) |
"There are some unforgettable images in the film, even though the story doesn't go much of anywhere." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yella (2007) |
"This crisply made thriller begins as a harrowing tale of a young German woman stalked by her deranged ex-husband, but quickly turns into an investigation of the murkier depths of capitalism." |

Yes (2005) |
"The film is mostly unbearable." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Yes Man (2008) |
"The comedy, to the extent there is any, consists mainly of Carrey's verbal asides and strained reactions to people. The script gives him very little to work with." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Yes Men (2004) |
"Achieves what any good documentary tries to: It's thought-provoking, insightful and entertaining at the same time." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yes Men Fix the World (2009) |
"Beyond question, the results are overstated, outrageous and wildly juvenile. But they're also a hoot to watch." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 2/4 |
Yes Nurse! No Nurse! (2004) |
"A pleasant enough movie whose overt charm sometimes works against it." |
John McMurtrie |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yi Yi (2000) |
"Looks at one middle-class family in transition -- and does so with such a kind and probing eye that we all see our lives reflected through Yang's lens." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 1/4 |
Yonkers Joe (2008) |
"Yonkers Joe is incoherent, succeeding neither as an exciting gambling ride nor a touching family story." |
Reyhan Harmanci |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009) |
"In her latest film, Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg, [director Aviva] Kempner once again educates and entertains with unexpected tidbits and just plain good old-fashioned filmmaking." |
Leba Hertz |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yossi & Jagger (2003) |
"Surprisingly lighthearted." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
You Can Count on Me (2000) |
"It's simply a quiet and heartbreaking look at the dynamics of one family. That's the beauty of it." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 1/4 |
You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) |
"What might have been an ambitious effort becomes another lousy Sandler movie, endless and tiresome with a handful of funny moments." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
You Got Served (2004) |
"A street-dance film that's lively and silly and about as 'street' as a Britney Spears video." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2.5/4 |
You I Love (2005) |
"The fault lies in an anemic script and misguided attempts by co-directors Olga Stolpovskaya and Dmitry Troitsky to seem hip by using lots of quick cuts." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
You Kill Me (2007) |
"In the moment, You Kill Me is never less than mildly entertaining, and it's almost never more than that." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
You've Got Mail (1998) |
"Every time You've Got Mail is about to choke on its own cleverness, it's resuscitated by its extremely likable -- oh heck, let's just call them lovable -- stars." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 1/4 |
You, Me and Dupree (2006) |
"Wilson deserves better, too. He's too smart to make me believe he'd actually think this movie is funny." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Young Adam (2004) |
"[Swinton's] rich, compelling performance is reason enough to see this uneven picture." |
Carla Meyer |

Young Black Stallion (2003) |
"Tired rehash." |
C.W. Nevius |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967) |
"Here is romantic intrigue served up with a knowing lack of shame, a musical boasting star power of the highest magnitude that satirizes the conventions of the movie musical with affection and wicked glee." |

The Young Unknowns (2003) |
"First-time director Catherine Jelski dredges up every cliche about druggy, obnoxious dreamers on the fringes of Hollywood and assumes that said cliches have the power to shock and surprise." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 2/4 |
The Young Victoria (2009) |
"If you like this sort of movie -- and actually, cards on the table, I like this kind of movie -- you will not be sorry you saw it. But you will not come away from the experience feeling that you've seen Victoria, young or otherwise." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Young@Heart (2008) |
" The film's emotional peak comes at the end when the chorus performs for prison inmates who must be, on average, well under half the age of the singers. It's a liberating experience, for both sides." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Splat 1/4 |
Your Friends & Neighbors (1998) |
"Full of empty provocation!" |
Mick LaSalle |

Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love (2009) |
"Youssou N'Dour is a beautiful film to watch as it unfolds the life of N'Dour and, by extension, the lives of millions of West Africans who are anonymous to many in the West." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 4/4 |
Youssou N'Dour: Return to Goree (2008) |
"Conversations full of memorable words and what can only be called 'genuineness' push Youssou N'Dour: Return to Gorée into the realm of unforgettable filmmaking." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Splat 2/4 |
Youth Without Youth (2007) |
"Youth Without Youth is lush and heartfelt, but compelling only in fits and starts." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (2004) |
"This cartoon based on the popular and complicated card game might as well be written in another language." |
