Tomato

M (1931)

"The moral issues are complex and deftly handled: Lorre is at once entirely innocent and absolutely evil. Lang's detached, modified expressionist style gives the action a plastic beauty."

Dave Kehr

Tomato
4/4

M (1931)

"This astonishing movie represents an unsurpassed grand synthesis of storytelling."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

M*A*S*H (1970)

"This is still watchable for the verve of the ensemble acting and dovetailing direction, but some of the crassness leaves a sour aftertaste."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Macao (1952)

"Sternberg's personality survives; what's missing is the soul that might have turned the artifice and self-parody into poetry."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Macbeth (1971)

"The wide-screen visuals swamp the dialogue, and the thematics have been turned inside out -- but that's what movie adaptations ought to do."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Macbeth (2007)

"This is both an exciting thriller and a worthy addition to the canon of Shakespearean cinema."

Tomato

Macbeth (Restored Version) (1948)

"There is force in this rough, hasty rendering; the sheer speed of the pacing gives it a quality of crushing delirium."

Tomato

Mad Max (1979)

"Some of the most determinedly formalist filmmaking this side of Michael Snow."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

"The punky energy of the earlier films has given way to a self-conscious striving for significance, obscuring Miller's considerable kinetic talents in favor of a lumpy didacticism."

Dave Kehr

-

Dave Kehr

Splat

Mad Money (2008)

"he stars phone in their expected personas (Keaton testy, Latifah earthy), except for Holmes, who's unconvincing as a gum-chewing trailer babe."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)

"Lessons about family loyalty, tolerance, ingenuity, and sacrifice add depth to the screenplay by Etan Cohen and directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath."

Andrea Gronvall

Tomato

Madame Bovary (1934)

"Not the best Renoir, but Renoir nonetheless -- and so, very well worth seeing."

Made of Honor (2008)

"Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan make an agreeable pair in this above-average comedy, another go-round for the reliable premise of longtime pals awakening to each other romantically."

Tomato

Mafioso (1962)

"Filmed in Milan, Sicily, and New York, Alberto Lattuada's 1962 black comedy is one of his most critically suc"

Pat Graham

Tomato

The Magdalene Sisters (2003)

"Grimly believable."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Magic Christian (1969)

"A curdled, unfunny satire made more painful by McGrath's inappropriately jubilant style."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Magic Flute (1975)

"Ingmar Bergman's mounting of the Mozart masterpiece is appealingly conventional."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

"As 60 minutes of self-indulgent psychedelics, it's nearly impossible to watch."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Magician (1958)

"It is one of Bergman's most tightly structured and frightening films."

Don Druker

Tomato

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)

"A masterpiece in every way (but ignore the awkward ending the studio tacked on without Welles's approval)."

Don Druker

Tomato

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)

"The emotional sense of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is so palpable you can taste it."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Magnolia (1999)

"A wonderful mess."

Tomato

The Major and the Minor (1942)

"The Wilder ironies and favorite themes--sexual deception, innuendo, the power of words to slice up and serve a character -- are all present in abundance."

Don Druker

Don Druker

Tomato

Major Dundee (1965)

"Charlton Heston is the cavalry officer assigned to eliminate Apache resistance; Peckinpah makes a fine, ironic use of his stentorian presence in what becomes a very grubby context."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Major League (1989)

"Slick predictability is about all it has in mind, down to the last trite freeze-frame."
