W. (2008) |
"Clearly there are many other ways of making a film about Dubya. But Stone’s version should at least be respected. It may be only half the story but that half contains enough to make us think, and keep on thinking how the hell it all happened." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"The Wackness, while no masterpiece, is the kind of film that doesn’t come to much but is watchable as it saunters along with a provoking sense of meaningful pessimism. The performances are really the thing — Levine hasn’t managed anything better." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Waitress (2007) |
"The pies themselves, produced in all the colours of a rainbow - look disgustingly plastic." |

The Walker (2007) |
"Certainly well made, a reminder that Schrader is a writer and director of some note." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"One of the most imaginatively made and individual pieces of work that the audacious Pixar has developed." |

Watchmen (2009) |
"At least it looks good, like a version of The Dark Knight coupled with Taxi Driver, and remains faithful to the skin if not the bone of Moore and Gibbons’s astonishing vision." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Wave (2008) |
"It’s a strong film but in the end a rather obvious one." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Wayward Cloud (2007) |
"It may be slow as a snail, but it leaves a trail." |

Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"The story is told with a merciful lack of sentimentality, while Williams's performance seems totally natural. Added to that, Reichardt paints the smalltown scene with an attention to detail that a lot of other films miss." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
What Just Happened (2008) |
"More cold than cute, De Niro’s brilliance actually makes the film more confusing than it needs to be." |

Tomato 4/5 |
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008) |
"This is one of those commendably well-made and a trifle old-fashioned films which nowadays will probably find as large an audience on television as in the cinema." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"It is one of those films that reveals the power of film itself, and you can feel delighted that this beautiful story, with its oddness and its great capacity for wonder, has survived in a perfect way the transition to screen." |
Andrew O'Hagan |
Tomato 3/5 |
White Christmas (1954) |
"A new score by Irving Berlin also contributed to its marzipan popularity. But it’s the title song that really produced lasting gold. That and the fake snow." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 5/5 |
The White Ribbon (2009) |
"As strong and memorable as anything Haneke has previously accomplished, an austere and fastidious masterpiece that digs deep into what remains of the souls of the children and adults without appearing to strain for significance." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Wicker Man (1973) |
"You can't help smiling at the audacity of it all and shivering a little at the feelbad ending." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Wild Blue Yonder: A Science Fiction Fantasy (2006) |
"An unlikely combination, but then Herzog never ceases to surprise and here, despite some dull patches, does so with an off-centre film of an almost dreamlike quality." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Wild Child (2009) |
"It may be manna for teen girls but any kind of critical eye will find it about as convincingly made as the last St Trinian’s movie. It is played, though, with lively abandon." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Wild Style (1982) |
"A poorly-acted shambles." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
Wind Chill (2007) |
"As clunky as it is emotionally unconvincing." |
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh |
Splat 2/5 |
The Women (2008) |
"It is difficult to determine whether this adaptation of the old Clare Boothe Luce play, and the 1939 George Cukor film version of it, is a calculated insult to all women or just a poorly directed effort to understand the fair sex." |

The Wrestler (2008) |
"The Wrestler is, in essence, an excellent B-movie centred upon a defiantly top-rate performance from Rourke." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007) |
"It is a staggeringly awful road movie, not much enlivened by the presence of Tom Waits as a wizened participant." |
