Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"This surely has to be the last of the series." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Director Jonathan Demme, who says he wanted to make “the most beautiful home movie ever made”, didn’t rehearse scenes before filming. He and Hathaway, as much as Lumet, deserve praise for creating a pariah at once close-to-home and unique." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Tomato 5/5 |
Raging Bull (1980) |
"A classic that has everything to do with the capacity of even highly successful men to cope with life in general, and women in particular." |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"A comedy that relates realistically to life, fashioned not with dozens of hilarious jokes but with due regard for proper storytelling." |

The Reader (2008) |
"Winslet’s intricate performance and Daldry’s skills of persuasion make it a worthy memorial to its producers, Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, the values of whose own films it faithfully replicates." |

Red Cliff (2009) |
"The numerous battle scenes, culminating in the famous Battle of Red Cliff, prove Woo is an action director par excellence." |

Red Mist (2008) |
"The plot is total rubbish, and no amount of slick film-making can make you believe it is worth all the blood and gore we have to sit through." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Red Shoes (1948) |
"What a cast, and what superbly florid but controlled direction. Unequalled Technicolor photography from Jack Cardiff. too." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Religulous (2008) |
"That’s the trouble with Religulous —it is funny but never very acute." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Rendition (2007) |
"A brave piece of work, but by no means perfect." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"What we miss is the real Herzogian touch that can translate tales of derringdo into something more than mere adventure and stir the soul as well as the heart and mind." |

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) |
"Russell Mulcahy of Highlander fame ensures that production values are strong even if logic is weak and the script sounds like it was written on the back of an envelope." |

Revolutionary Road (2008) |
"The book and the film may be nailed to their Fifties period (everyone seems to smoke perpetually) but what Revolutionary Road says about not so quietly desperate lives is still appropriate today." |

Ringu (1998) |
" David Cronenberg could perhaps compete with Nakata but unfortunately only lesser mortals have attempted to replicate the feeling that Reiko has plunged into something with which even her psychic powers can’t compete." |

The Rocker (2008) |
"The Rocker is certainly not This Is Spinal Tap, but it is fair to moderate entertainment and Rainn Wilson holds it all together energetically." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
RocknRolla (2008) |
"RocknRolla did not leave me wanting more (the last shot promises a sequel is on its way). Still, its confidence is impressive. London’s property bubble may have burst but Ritchie’s career is definitely on the rise." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Splat 2/5 |
Role Models (2008) |
"Neither Rudd nor Scott are naturally funny performers, and neither are nearly as effective as their two young charges. Lynch’s Sturdy Wings manager is easily the best bet for laughs." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
The Romance of Astrea and Celadon (2007) |
"But I wish the acting was less like amateur dramatics and the plot less like a slightly camp game." |

Rudo and Cursi (2009) |
"Cuaron’s mixture of near farce and realism works well most of the time, though there are moments when the narration suffers from too many meaningless metaphors." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Rumba (2008) |
"The film’s innate sense of humour and the naïve poetry of its making, which admittedly sometimes descends into whimsy, provide a resolutely optimistic feel." |
