Rating Title Year Quote Author

Splat

Nacho Libre (2006)

"Black has the potential to be the rare comedian capable of making lemons into lemonade, but the fruit he's squeezing here is bone-dry."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

The Namesake (2007)

"A rich, if not completely satisfying, pleasure."

Dana Stevens

Splat

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

"It's hard to account for the curious emptiness of The Nanny Diaries."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

"Too low-wattage to be a true nerd anthem, but it's charming in retrospect, when you're freed from the narcoleptic pace to think back on the queerly beautiful tableaux and well-timed gags."

David Edelstein

Splat

The Nativity Story (2006)

"The best of intentions and a 2,000-year-old heartbreaker of a story are not enough to make a compelling film. You need a point of view and something to say."

Dana Stevens

Splat

New in Town (2009)

"For many Americans, the only believable part of New in Town may be its ominous premise: There's a rich jerk in town, and she's come to take away your job."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

The New World (2005)

"The New World isn't Terrence Malick's best, but it's guiding him in the right direction."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

"Like Before Sunrise or the lovely karaoke-bar sequence at the center of Lost in Translation, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist captures the excitement of exploring a city with someone you barely know and really, really like."

Dana Stevens

Splat

Night Watch (2005)

"If Night Watch is energetic, it is also frenetic; if neatly plotted, it is also too open-ended, a set-up for the remaining two installments of a trilogy."

Stephen Metcalf

Splat

Nine (2009)

"We don't need to see Daniel Day-Lewis and Nicole Kidman sing a duet next to a Roman fountain any more than we need to see an elephant pirouette in a tutu, but wouldn't you be crazy to pass up the opportunity to see either?"

Dana Stevens

Tomato

No Country for Old Men (2007)

"The result, while it may be their most ambitious and successful film in years, remains just a Coen brothers movie, a curio to collect rather than an experience to remember."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005)

"To narrate selected details from this journey from the Iron Range to Greenwich Village to Rock Star Babylon, we get generous, attention-span respecting clips of Dylan performances and reminiscences from carefully selected talking heads."

David Yaffe

Tomato

No Impact Man (2009)

"You may find Colin Beavan unbearably smug, but at the heart of his mission lies an inconvenient truth: Our consumable, disposable, unsustainable culture is destroying the planet, and there's no way to change that without making sacrifices."

Dana Stevens

Splat

No Reservations (2007)

"Five years from now, this bland and forgettable throwaway will be remembered only for Breslin, who will by then be a poised and gifted 16-year-old actress (as long as she keeps out of Lohan-like trouble -- please, Abby!)."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Nobody Knows (2005)

"Kore-eda's filmmaking is austere and deliberate, yet his humanism is manifest in every frame."

David Edelstein

Tomato

Noise (2008)

"Noise is never quite as smart as it tries to be. But as summer and its mouth-breathing blockbusters loom large on the horizon, there's something touching about a movie that even tries."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

North Country (2005)

"North Country is powerful and then some."

David Edelstein

Splat

Notorious (2009)

"The best way to remember Biggie Smalls is to listen to "Juicy" or "Things Done Changed" or any of the virtuosic autobiographical raps in which Christopher Wallace paints his own world with more immediacy and wit than Notorious ever manages to muster."

Dana Stevens

Splat

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

"No moral, little plot, a lead character deliberately left unknowable."

Troy Patterson

Tomato

Nowhere in Africa (2003)

"The pacing of Nowhere in Africa is a mite drowsy, but there are payoffs for the director's uninsistent touch."

David Edelstein
