E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"Though marred by Spielberg's usual carelessness with narrative points, the film alternates sweetness and sarcasm with enough rhetorical sophistication to be fairly irresistible." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Eagle Eye (2008) |
"Caruso and Spielberg probably thought they were reviving the paranoid style of 70s political thrillers, but their story is so implausible it barely provokes a tremor." |

Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"The movie's idea of funny is giving the two lovers identical moles bordering their upper lips." |
J. R. Jones |
Tomato |
Early Spring (1956) |
"A casual yet meticulously detailed reconstruction of Japan's routinized white-collar milieu." |
Don Druker |
Tomato |
Early Summer (1951) |
"If you've seen one Ozu film, you probably have the drift of his austere, quiet style, and you don't need my recommendation. If you haven't, take a chance." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
The Earrings of Madame De... (1953) |
"Ophuls's camera style is famous for its physicalization of time, in which every fleeting moment is recorded and made palpable by the ceaseless tracking shots, yet his delineation of space is also sublime and highly charged." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
Earth (1930) |
"Incontestably one of the greatest of all Soviet films." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
Earth (2009) |
"[The directors] know how to craft a sequence (lions and elephants uneasily drinking at the same water hole), have an eye for the telling shot (baboons mincing across a flood plain), and mercifully avoid making the fauna look human." |

East of Eden (1955) |
"John Steinbeck's painful biblical allegory -- Genesis replayed in Monterey, California, circa 1917 -- is more palatable on the screen, thanks to the down-to-earth performances of James Dean as Cal/Cain and Richard Davalos as Aron/Abel." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
Easter Parade (1948) |
"The Irving Berlin score is bright, and Walters is one director who knows when to leave Astaire to his own devices." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"David Cronenberg's follow-up to A History of Violence lacks the theoretical dimension of its predecessor, but it's no less masterful in its fluid storytelling and shocking choreography of violence." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
Easy Living (1937) |
"Preston Sturges wrote this Depression-era (1937) twist on the Cinderella story, and it acquires an airy grace from the direction of Mitchell Leisen." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Easy Rider (1969) |
"The film may be a relic now, but it is a fascinating souvenir -- particularly in its narcissism and fatalism -- of how the hippie movement thought of itself." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"The only characters who seem anchored in some form of reality are the hero's parents...all the others, from siblings to servants, are standard-issue eccentrics or the subjects of running gags." |

The Eclipse (1962) |
"The conclusion of Michelangelo Antonioni's loose trilogy (preceded by L'Avventura and La Notte), this 1961 film is conceivably the best in Antonioni's career, but significantly it has the least consequential plot." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Splat |
Ecstasy (1933) |
"Unfortunately, the film has aged badly, and today is mainly a curiosity piece." |

Effi Briest (1974) |
"The slow, deliberate pace is sometimes taxing, but this story of a 16-year-old girl locked in the boredom of a loveless marriage is perfectly suited to Fassbinder's stifling mise-en-scene." |
