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." |

O'Horten (2009) |
"Bent Hamer has proved himself an apt pupil of such deadpan comic filmmakers as Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismaki." |

Observe and Report (2009) |
"I've observed this Seth Rogen comedy, and I can report that it's not very good." |

Obsessed (2009) |
"This biracial entry in the psycho-bitch stalker sweepstakes is inept and stupid but not without its base pleasures." |
Cliff Doerksen |

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." |

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." |

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." |

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." |

Oldboy (2005) |
"There's a lot less here than meets the eye." |

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." |

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." |

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." |

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." |
