Tomato 3/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Sampi, first among equals, is quietly, devastatingly heartbreaking while conveying Molly's relentless resolve." |
Joe Leydon |
Splat 2/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"The contrived secondary characters, like the local villain who hopes to run Radio out of town, and yet another overblown score by James Horner keep it from truly succeeding." |

Rain (2002) |
"After about a half hour of this, and not caring a whit about the characters in Rain, I wanted nothing more than to return to the present day." |

Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) |
"A captivating new film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rambo (2008) |
"'Rambo' is pure adrenaline, a frenzied rush into the heart of a jungle where the prevailing darkness is far more horrific than anything Kurtz could have imagined." |
Rossiter Drake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"Director Hany Abu-Assad makes delightful use of time, stretching out the action over the course of one day." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 5/5 |
Rancho Notorious (1952) |
"A masterpiece." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"It takes Sydney Pollack 135 minutes to get to the end of an affair that would've taken certain French directors an hour and half to show." |

Ratboy (1986) |
"Intolerable" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Raw Deal (1948) |
"Alton's cinematography is a thing of low-budget joy; using the very darkest blacks and the brightest whites smashed together in the same frame." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Re-Animator (1985) |
"Though the film has its share of gory thrills, the emphasis is squarely on the laughs." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"The film offers no facile answers, only quietly forceful performances (particularly by Winslet, whose tense body language speaks volumes) that make these characters and the tragedy that colors their lives seem achingly, crushingly real." |
Rossiter Drake |
Tomato |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"It's the trio of Arquette and co-stars Scott Caan and Oliver Platt that makes Ready to Rumble work." |

The Reaping (2007) |
"At no time does director Stephen Hopkins give us reason to care." |
Rossiter Drake |
Tomato |
Rear Window (1954) |
"But if eggheads have made it a subject of scholarship, it's because Hitchcock and his screenwriter, John Michael Woolrich, really did create a lasting multimedia prophecy." |
Wesley Morris |

The Recruit (2003) |
"A prime example of first-class, audience-friendly escapism." |

Red Beard (1965) |
"[Kurosawa's] use of the widescreen frame is superb, arranging the elements within the frame for maximum poetic effect." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"Hopkins' Lecter once again makes an unabashedly amoral and shockingly amusing impact as modern cinema's most sardonically erudite bogeyman." |

Redbelt (2008) |
"Mamet's dialogue is crisp, invigorated by supporting players (particularly Mantegna and Jay) who relish his acerbic wordplay. But for a movie that aims to do for jujitsu what 'Rocky' did for boxing, 'Redbelt' taps out before the final bell." |
Rossiter Drake |

Tomato 3/4 |
Religulous (2008) |
"Maher's Michael Moore-style ambushes, though staged with less panache than the master's, are incisive and often laugh-out-loud funny, even if his targets often seem more like kooks and dimwits than serious theologians." |
Rossiter Drake |
Splat |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Not as powerfully boring as Gone in 60 Seconds, less anti-erotic than Coyote Ugly, this is a civil rights tale for People's Court times -- the verdicts are speedy, vague and unconscionable." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rendezvous in Paris (1996) |
"What a wonderful world. Sure, people cheat on each other. But they also act honorably and speak honestly and admit the darkest secrets about themselves. This sort of movie might bore you to tears, but it also might be just what you've longed for." |
Barbara Shulgasser |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rendition (2007) |
"The film unfolds brilliantly and methodically, as director Gavid Hood's vivid characters are unwittingly drawn together." |

Repulsion (1965) |
"Deneuve gives a scary and believable performance as a young woman who has never been completely integrated and who loses all sanity while we watch." |
Barbara Shulgasser |
Tomato 5/5 |
Repulsion (1965) |
"A claustrophobic masterpiece. Vintage Polanski." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"It's one of the most beautifully unpleasant movies ever made -- its reverse charge being that it is no fun at all." |
Wesley Morris |

"One of the great American first films." |

Reservoir Dogs (1992) |
"Perhaps the most astonishing, explosive debut film since John Cassavetes' Shadows." |

Resident Evil (2002) |
"I feel qualified to report that the game itself is more exciting and, just as important, much cheaper to sample." |
