Tomato 4/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Sampi rarely faces the camera; her gaze eludes us, but her strength and willfulness jump off the screen." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Given enough popcorn, kids should find it diverting; adults may be less than enthralled." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"This emotionally wrenching drama is an actors' showcase, a primer on quick-and-dirty filmmaking that nonetheless looks beautiful, and a welcome-to-the-big-leagues party for Anne Hathaway." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"Bland but likable kids' movie." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"We live in a winner-take-all culture, and Radio suggests there are more important things in life." |
Erik Lundegaard |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rain (2002) |
"A shimmeringly lovely coming-of-age portrait, shot in artful, watery tones of blue, green and brown." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"A teen movie so inspirational and heartwarming that it comes with its very own lip gloss." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"There's no real conflict, and the screenplay sometimes approaches idiocy." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"First-time writer/director Peter Sollett, working with mostly nonprofessional actors who live in the neighborhood in which the film is set, has caught something lovely in that golden summer light." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) |
"The film presents a brief but intriguing biography of its subject." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Rambo (2008) |
"A grim, hyperviolent send-off that could give you post-traumatic stress disorder." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"Gentle, tumultuous coming-of- age-in-a-day story." |
Ted Fry |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Sydney Pollack can't locate any kind of chemistry between Ford and Thomas, whose first and last scenes together are especially labored." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Rape Of Europa (2007) |
"This is a vast subject, ideally suited to a series of films. It's at its most moving when focusing on the small stories of individual artworks taken from their owners and restored to the families decades later." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1/4 |
Rape of the Soul |
"Never justifies the creation of a 2-hour-and-20-minute movie on the subject." |
John Hartl |
Splat |
Rat Race (2001) |
"Rat Race is much funnier than most comedies currently in release -- compared with American Pie 2 ... But ultimately it falls just short of the finish line." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"How good, and how much fun, is Ratatouille? So good that when it was over, all I wanted to do was watch it again." |
Moira MacDonald |

Ray (2004) |
"Enjoy the music -- and Foxx. They're terrific." |

Tomato 3/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"The Reader, based on Bernhard Schlink's novel, is a tragedy told with such precise remoteness, you feel as if you're watching it from across the room." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"The entire movie is essentially an attempt to fill silence." |
John Hartl |
Splat .5/4 |
The Real Cancun (2003) |
"What good documentaries have that The Real Cancun sadly lacks is a good story." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"It's anchored by splendid performances from an honored screen veteran and a sparkling newcomer who instantly transform themselves into a believable mother/daughter pair." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"What, I shudder to think, were the projects Hilary Swank turned down in favor of this one?" |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1/4 |
Rebound (2005) |
"This is a stupid movie." |
Ted Fry |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"Once the actors set up shop, and Nicholas gets obsessively involved in proving Martha's innocence, melodrama and ponderousness encroach." |
Misha Berson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Reconstruction (2004) |
"Like love itself, Reconstruction works on an irrational, off-kilter plane, filled with elation, regret and elusive second chances." |
Jeff Shannon |
Splat 2/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit feels like a training exercise, for a star who's still in the making." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Red Cliff (2009) |
"Not a bad consolation prize, but not the complex, multilayered drama that made Red Cliff a hit in Asia." |
Tan Vinh |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"Ultimately, Red Dragon is all about the cannibal, and Hopkins, with his unblinking stare and gracious manner, slips into the role like a favorite cardigan." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"[Craven finds] another new way to stoke our apprehensions of being caught vulnerable and helpless." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Green - Duct Tape Forever (2003) |
"The series' good-natured, self-deprecating extended joke about male regression, handyman incompetence and Canadian humility are here in big-screen proportions, and it all works very well." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato |
Red Heroine (1929) |
"The only surviving episode of the 13-part 1929 Chinese serial Red Knight Errant." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"A remarkably compelling marital nightmare." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Red Orchestra (2005) |
"It's not a great film, but The Red Orchestra pays honorable tribute to these little-known resistance fighters, and that makes it worthwhile." |
Jeff Shannon |
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"When a character points out that relationships on the ship are 'like high school,' you may wonder if he means junior high." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Road (2007) |
"Though it's paced as a thriller, the film ultimately emerges as a haunting exploration of how grief can weigh on us, and the depths to which it can drive us." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
The Red Shoes (1948) |
"One of the most beautiful films ever made." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Red Trousers (2003) |
"The great documentary about Hong Kong stuntmen, and their relationship to the Beijing Opera, still needs to be made." |
Erik Lundegaard |
Splat 2/4 |
Redacted (2007) |
"It's hard to watch, and should be. But harder for other reasons. As an experiment in storytelling, it's mainly tedious and phony." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"David Mamet's take on the trendy new world of mixed martial arts is a gem not quite like anything I've seen before — a smart, absorbing, anti-Hollywood, hypermacho look at what it is to be a true martial artist and a man." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Refusenik (2008) |
"We've been hearing a lot this year about human-rights abuses and the potential impact of organized protests and diplomacy on uncooperative countries. Rarely is the subject addressed as effectively as it is in Laura Bialis' absorbing new documentary." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"As the rich drama plays out, Reign of Fire proves to be a thoroughly taut, well-considered fable." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Reign Over Me (2007) |
"There's something creepy about peddling such ideas without thinking through their moral or intellectual downside." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3/4 |
Religulous (2008) |
"It's sharp and outrageously funny enough to keep it from coming off like a self-righteous screed and to keep Maher from looking like the Michael Moore of religion -- for the most part." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rem Koolhaas: A Kind of Architect (2009) |
"Busy. Captivating." |
John Hartl |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Remember Me, My Love (2004) |
"The people in Remember Me, My Love evaporate the minute the lights come up." |
John Hartl |
Tomato |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"The entire cast is excellent." |
John Zebrowski |

Renaissance (2006) |
"An empty experience; lots of shadow and noise, adding up to very little." |
