Dancer in the Dark (1999) |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Even though it is infused with the sensibility of a video director, it doesn't make for completely empty entertainment" |

Day for Night (1973) |
"One of the great tributes to the art of moviemaking, Truffaut has never made a film as warm or generous." |

The Day I Became A Woman (2001) |
"It makes its characters specific enough to relate to, but even more wonderful is how it makes you discover new things for yourself in their brief stories." |

Dead or Alive (2001) |

Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"Its cruel pointlessness zaps Williams back into the fearless encroachment his best work has contained." |

Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"Despite its muddy color palette and chaotic reliance on toothless histrionics, the film's distorted vision, far from being dark, is staggeringly pale." |

Deep Blue Sea (1999) |
"The emotional edge in Harlin's direction [is] unquestionably as impressive as his action expertise is." |

The Deep End (2001) |
"A mercilessly incompetent thriller that’s easily as soulless (and brainless) as Tomb Raider or Planet of the Apes or Jurassic Park III." |

Detroit Rock City (1999) |
"The notion of music's cultural definition for people isn't taken for granted by Detroit Rock City's makers." |

The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
"The Devil's Backbone stands out because of its rich desert-dust palette of golden brown, but otherwise takes no discernable visual stance." |

Diamonds (1999) |
"[Not] a work of art, or even entertainment, but the filmic commensurate of a crippled panhandler using his handicap to beg for sympathy and change on a streetcorner." |

Dick (1999) |
"The movie quickly thunders downhill like a massive boulder, effectively trampling things like common sense, taste, and, most importantly, historical significance." |

Divided We Fall (2001) |
"Replaces the melodrama of Life is Beautiful with tangible human matter, and its over-beating heart with battle-tested guts." |

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) |
"Like an Overacting Anonymous meeting for prestigious female actresses eager to try their hands at obnoxious braying and outrageously broad antics." |

Donnie Darko (2001) |
"There was no easy logline for Donnie Darko. That’s probably why it was doomed to become one of 2001’s best movies no one heard of." |

Donnie Darko (2001) |
"A knockout sense of unpredictability and originality that for two full hours (and hundreds of hours after that) blooms magnificently in your mind and right before your eyes." |
