L'Enfant (2006) |
"As a character study it delivers the goods, fraught with the sweet tension and painful heartbreak of coming of age and living on the edge." |
Jeanne Aufmuth |
Tomato 3/4 |
L.A. Confidential (1997) |
"A hard-boiled cops and crime story that is at once viscerally entertaining and intellectually satisfying." |

"A tousled biopic both bleak and disturbing." |

Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Ladder 49 overkills on melodrama -- the slow-paced adventure flick has enough tear-jerking Hallmark moments to extinguish a three-alarm blaze." |

Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007) |

Ladykillers (2004) |
"Each of the characters is occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, and if you can go into this comedy with low expectations, you may emerge refreshed. Considering what this movie might have been, though, makes me long for the old Coen Brothers magic." |
Jim Shelby |

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
