Rabid Grannies (1988)

Tomato

Rachel Getting Married (2008)

"Alternately funny and gripping, this feature marks a welcome return to original drama for director Jonathan Demme, who's spent the last decade preoccupied with documentaries, concert movies, and remakes."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Racing With the Moon (1984)

"I don't care for Benjamin's way of using death to validate his sentimental themes, but at this point any American movie that can get past the 'I love you's without audience snickers has to be counted a success."

Dave Kehr

-

The Raggedy Rawney (1990)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Raging Bull (1980)

"I can't pan it, but this 1980 fantasy biography of fighter Jake LaMotta seems unquestionably Martin Scorsese's weakest work, at least to that point in his career."

Dave Kehr

-

Ragtime (1981)

Dave Kehr

Splat

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

"One would think that a collaboration between Steven Spielberg and George Lucas would produce something better than this giggly pastiche of a Republic serial..."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (1989)

"The Adaptation is the least cynical movie I’ve ever seen. Each shot is a moment of wonder and discovery."

Splat

Rails & Ties (2007)

"The opening act is strong, but the story's trajectory is so obvious this often seems to be traveling along tracks as well -- into a valley of soap suds."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Rain Man (1988)

"Valeria Golino is appealing as Cruise's girlfriend; Hoffman makes his character pretty believable without milking the part for pathos and tears, and it's nice to see Cruise working for a change in a context that isn't determined by hard sell and hype."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

The Rain People (1969)

"Like its main character, the movie hits the road with no final destination in mind, and the manic inventiveness that sustains the early passages becomes strained and weird by the end."

Dave Kehr

Raintree County (1957)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

A Raisin in the Sun (1961)

"It does have enough gritty insights and (for the time) strikingly accurate production details to keep the level of interest up."

Don Druker

Tomato

Raising Arizona (1987)

"The cartoon vision of southwestern tackiness doesn't cut very deep, but the mise-en-scene is packed with clever clutter."

Pat Graham

Splat

Rambo (2008)

"The orgy of violence, as ghastly as in any video game, should go a long way toward erasing whatever goodwill Stallone earned with his sentimental Rocky Balboa."

J. R. Jones

Splat

Rambo - First Blood Pt. 2 (1985)

"A thoroughly unpleasant project, quite apart from its creepy populist posturing (Stallone seemed determined to become the Huey Long of the movies)."

Dave Kehr

-

Ramrod (1947)

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Ran (1985)

"Akira Kurosawa's 1985 film is slightly marred by some too obvious straining toward masterpiece status, yet it's a stunning achievement in epic cinema."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Rancho Deluxe (1975)

"Surprise: Frank Perry kept his wits about him long enough to make this mildly watchable 1974 film about the modern west."

Don Druker

The Rape Of Europa (2007)

"Filmmakers Richard Berge, Bonni Cohen, and Nicole Newnham do a superb job of telling this neglected story in vivid detail."

Ratatouille (2007)

Splat

Re-Animator (1985)

"It's this kind of flat-footed stuff that gives garbage a bad name."

Dave Kehr

Tomato
3/4

The Reader (2008)

"Surrounding the Holocaust morality play is another story that’s more modestly scaled and, in this age of unashamed romance between older women and younger men, more contemporary."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007)

"A beguiling combination of agrarian ode and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, deepened by Peterson's square sincerity as he struggles to find himself in relation to his family's land."

J. R. Jones

Splat

Real Genius (1985)

"The humor is relentlessly cruel, smug, and disconnected from any sense of how human beings might behave in similar situations."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Reality Bites (1993)

"In 1994, the novelty of seeing a romantic comedy written and directed by, as well as starring, people in their early 20s made for a certain freshness, but after a point this 'youthfulness' consists of little more than TV references."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Reap the Wild Wind (1942)

Splat

The Reaping (2007)

"An insult to intelligence and faith alike."

J. R. Jones

Tomato
4/4

Rear Window (1954)

"In an impressive oeuvre, Rear Window is arguably the most exquisitely handcrafted feature, because Hitchcock mastered the spatial as well as behavioral coordinates of his chosen universe inch by inch."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Rebecca (1940)

"Through its first two-thirds it is as perfect a myth of adolescence as any of the Disney films, documenting the childlike, nameless heroine's initiation into the adult mysteries of sex, death, and identity."

Dave Kehr

-

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1917)

Tomato

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

Tomato

Record of a Tenement Gentleman (1947)

"A warm comedy of life in postwar Japan, warm in the way only Yasujiro Ozu's cold and formal style can be."

Dave Kehr
