La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"Unfortunately, Olivier Dahan's "emotional journey" through this triumphant but tragic existence leaves us none the wiser about many of the details we'd like to know, or knowing, would like to see on the screen." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
La Vie Moderne (2008) |
"The third documentary in Raymond Depardon’s Peasant Profiles series is impassive but impressive." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
La Zona (2007) |
"This is a well-made realist study of what happens when society is divided between rich and poor. But it is also so schematic that some of its power drains away." |

Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"A sensitive and entirely believable love story, as far from most of the other filmed versions as it is possible to be." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Lagerfeld Confidential (2007) |
"You learn only as much as Lagerfeld wants you to, which isn't very much at all." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Happily, it’s not only a return to form for the one-time Mormon and agent provocateur, it also offers Samuel L Jackson his first decent part in years." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Splat 2/5 |
Lala Pipo - A Lot of People |
"The film is jaunty rather than erotic, hoping to show that, despite everything, some find hope amid the sleaze." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"It’s not clear whether the director, Brad Silberling, is camping it up or simply trying to get through it all without too much strain." |

Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"The problem lies in a sloppy screenplay and direction that’s too slick to be credible. Added to that, while Thompson often makes acting look natural, Hoffman these days makes natural look like acting." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Whitaker commands his scenes as effectively as he did in Clint Eastwood's film about Charlie Parker." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
The Last Legion (2007) |
"A good cast wallow about in a story you can't believe for a moment." |

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) |
"With film, the question is not always, “Do I believe it?”; more often, it is “Do they believe it?” And in the case of Law Abiding Citizen they believe it so much that revenge becomes a thing you can taste." |

Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee (2009) |
"Some British film-makers never give up and Shane Meadows is one of them. He’d make a movie of a custard pie if he could. And generally there’s entertainment to be had from even his most hand-to-mouth efforts." |

The Lemon Tree (2008) |
"The Lemon Tree, though quite plainly made, is another feather in the cap of the director who made the equally affecting The Syrian Bride." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Let the Right One In (2008) |
"He and his team have conjured up, from a remarkable piece of writing, one of the best, most imaginative and resonant vampire stories I’ve seen." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Let's Talk About The Rain (2008) |
"It tells you more about human nature than a dozen more portentous movies and is a rare delight to savour from a unique and exceptionally talented film-maker." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
A Letter to True (2004) |
"Fascinating just as a microcosm of one man’s personality and life." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"The whole is a more satisfactory entity than Flags of Our Fathers - and the final scene, which has veterans and relatives scouring the tunnels and caves for the buried letters, is a suitably moving coda." |

The Limits of Control (2009) |
"The Limits of Control gives off the scent of a thriller but the general odour of an art movie purposefully going nowhere." |

Linha de passe |
"It is as authentic as Salles and Thomas can make it even if it sometimes seems that, apart from the football angle, we have seen it all before. But if you haven’t, then it’s a real eye-opener." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Little Box of Sweets (2006) |
"If it lacks the power of real drama, or a radical sense of style, it doesn’t stint on the difficulties a peasant girl probably still faces when getting on in life." |

Live! (2007) |
"There is a big problem in believing any of it, but a certain amount of fun watching television’s more ghastly denizens wonder whether murder will improve the ratings. It does." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Lives of the Saints (2006) |
"The moral of this well-shot but grossly uneven film is obviously that, once you get what you want, you may well find either that you don't want it, or that devastating complications can ensue." |

Looking for Eric (2009) |
"There’s no doubting that Looking for Eric is a lively piece of entertainment. It is always satisfying to see an arch-realist testing his certainties, even reaching from time to time, as Loach does here, into the joyfully fantastical." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Looking for Eric (2009) |
"This is the nearest he will ever get to a feelgood movie, and may well become one of his most successful." |

Lorna's Silence (2009) |
"The performances are excellent — low-key and nuanced — but the set-up is so contrived that you never feel involved for long." |

Lou Reed's Berlin (2008) |
"Those who admire Reed will find that Schnabel's film allows the music to speak for itself against its rather messy background." |

The Love Guru (2008) |
"At one point Kingsley’s character makes his pupils duel with mops soaked in his own urine. If you think that’s funny, be my guest." |

Love Happens (2009) |
"Both stars seem bemused in their parts and it is left to Martin Sheen and a pet parrot to emote. The parrot, in fact, is the best thing here." |
