Nanking (2007)

"Anyone who sees Nanking should know going in what a brutal story it is, but no one should miss it because of a restrictive rating."

Nanny McPhee (2006)

"Thompson never allows Nanny McPhee to become cute or cuddly, but manages to make the children -- and us -- love her, warts and all."

National Security (2003)

"It's meant to wear down and demoralize critics who are about to launch into a whole new year of worthless buddy comedies."

Neil Young - Greendale (2004)

"83 minutes of dark, grainy images grew irritating quickly."

Never Been Kissed (1999)

"Barrymore is bursting with comic flair!"

The Next Best Thing (2000)

"I wouldn't call what [Madonna] does acting; it's more like vogue posing."

No Country for Old Men (2007)

"Working from a Cormac McCarthy novel that has the heedless, headlong force of an action movie screenplay, Joel and Ethan Coen have improved upon the original by giving it a visual lyricism to match McCarthy's verbal barrage."

North Country (2005)

"Theron has once again deglamorized herself for a meaty dramatic role, and she gives a persuasive performance that surely will not be overlooked during the coming award season."

The Notebook (2004)

"If its performers do not always triumph over their material, it's a struggle that they make worth watching."

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

"... it doesn't bring us any closer to understanding Page's life, or the origins of the multi-billion dollar porn industry."

Novocaine (2001)

"Proves initially intriguing in a junky sort of way, but in the end is just plain numbing."

Nurse Betty (2000)

"You get the feeling the makers of Nurse Betty are daring you not to get the big satire they've concocted. And in place of the customary TV laugh track, LaBute simply bludgeons you over the head with jokes."
