O Amor Natural (1996)

Click here to see the review.

Splat

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

"After making what are still probably their two best features, the Coen brothers came up with their worst, a piece of pop nihilism."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

O Lucky Man! (1973)

Don Druker

Tomato

O'Horten (2009)

"Bent Hamer has proved himself an apt pupil of such deadpan comic filmmakers as Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismaki."

J. R. Jones

Oblomov (1980)

Dave Kehr

Splat

Observe and Report (2009)

"I've observed this Seth Rogen comedy, and I can report that it's not very good."

J. R. Jones

Splat

Obsessed (2009)

"This biracial entry in the psycho-bitch stalker sweepstakes is inept and stupid but not without its base pleasures."

Cliff Doerksen

Splat

Ocean's Eleven (1960)

"Terminally boring."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

"Predictably adolescent and smarmy, with the mix of sentimentality and cynical flippancy that's becoming Steven Soderbergh's specialty (even when he's pretending to make art films), this is chewing gum for the eyes and ears, and not bad as such."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Octopussy (1983)

"Glen's willingness to give the action sequences a certain weight and seriousness produces some genuinely exciting moments, yet his work is everywhere undermined by the flatness of the characterizations and the uncertain architecture of the plot."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Odd Couple (1968)

"For all its overfamiliarity, this is a good play, easily Simon's best, and Matthau and Lemmon inhabit it with grace and style."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Odd Man Out (1947)

"This may be Reed's most pretentious film, but it also happens to be one of his very best, beautifully capturing the poetry of a city at night."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Odd Obsession (1959)

"The point is made early; the rest is perversity without passion."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Odd Obsession (1959)

"Ichikawa's more straightforward narrative method doesn't do justice to all the ironies, but this is a still a singular and memorable movie."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Odds Against Tomorrow (1959)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Odessa File (1974)

"The surprises increasingly fail to surprise."

Don Druker

Tomato

Oedipus Rex (1967)

"One of the most underrated, neglected, and powerful of Pier Paolo Pasolini's features."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Of Time and the City (2009)

"Terence Davies, England's greatest living filmmaker, has released only six features, and this one is his first documentary, a mesmerizing and eloquent essay about his native Liverpool."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Off Beat (1985)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Off the Hook (2002)

"Bounce is much more successful than most other films that deal with daily life in the projects."

-

The Official Story (1985)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato
4/4

Offside (2006)

"The director shoots largely on location -- parts were filmed at Azadi Stadium during an actual match -- and mixes fiction and documentary so deftly we can't tell which is which."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Oh, God! (1977)

"George Burns seems to be warming up for a good Second City sketch on God's return to earth as a rumpled vaudevillian, but it soon becomes clear that director Carl Reiner isn't kidding -- he really thinks this movie is going to save the world."

Dave Kehr

-

Oh, God! You Devil (1984)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

Oklahoma! (1955)

"The film heaves and sputters from one indifferently rendered number to the next."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Old Dogs (2009)

"A total train wreck."

Andrea Gronvall

Splat

Oldboy (2005)

"There's a lot less here than meets the eye."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Oliver and Company (1988)

"The animation is fairly unexciting though serviceable, and the overall mystification of class difference would probably have made Dickens shudder, but kids should find this tolerable enough."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Oliver Twist (1948)

"Alec Guinness as the master pickpocket Fagin is the high point of David Lean's 1948 version of the Dickens classic."

Don Druker

Splat

Oliver! (1968)

"In retrospect, it seems emblematic of the triviality Reed descended to in the last years of his career. The Third Man it's not."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Omega Man (1971)

"Not bad, but far from a classic."

Splat

The Omen (2006)

"This new version is an almost scene-for-scene remake, which is good news in the first half and bad news in the torpid second."

J. R. Jones

-

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970)

Click here to see the review.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

On Dangerous Ground (1951)

"One of the loveliest of Nick Ray's movies."

Dave Kehr

Splat

On Golden Pond (1981)

"The cinematic equivalent of shrink-wrapping, in which all of the ideas, feelings, characters, and images are neatly separated and hermetically sealed to prevent spoilage, abrasion, or any contact with the natural world."

Dave Kehr

Splat

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

"Director Peter Hunt manages to inject some life into this 1969 exercise with a wonderful ski chase, but otherwise the film is a bore."

Don Druker

-

On the Avenue (1937)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Splat

On the Beach (1959)

"A tiresome, talky 1959 film."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

On the Waterfront (1954)

"It's hard to deny that Marlon Brando's performance as a dock worker and ex-fighter who finally decides to rat on his gangster brother (Rod Steiger) is pretty terrific."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

On Valentine's Day (1987)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Once (2007)

"The songs don't advance the narrative lyrically so much as follow the two characters' uncertain relationship through the slow realization of their themes; in particular a scene in which they first jam together in the back room of a music store is a gem."

J. R. Jones

-

Tomato

One Crazy Summer (1986)

"[A] bright, occasionally imbecilic teen comedy."

Pat Graham

Tomato
4/4

One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich (2001)

"It's the best single piece of Tarkovsky criticism I know of, clarifying the overall coherence of his oeuvre while leaving all the principal mysteries in the films intact."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

One Fine Spring Day (2001)

Tomato

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

"Jack Nicholson plays McMurphy as if he were born to it, and the supporting cast provides fine, detailed performances."

Dave Kehr
