V For Vendetta (2005) |
"V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue, almost always has something going on that is actually interesting, inviting us to decode the character and plot and apply the message where we will." |

Va Savoir (2001) |
"A demonstration of grace and wit." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Vacancy (2007) |
"You start to think you're going to get a first-rate psychological thriller and instead you get third-rate schlock, with some legitimate scary moments but no insight into the motivation behind [Frank Whaley's character's] psychosis." |
Teresa Budasi |

Valentin (2004) |
"The film is warm and intriguing." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009) |
"Valentino: The Last Emperor is a documentary with privileged access to the legendary designer in his studio, workshop, backstage, his homes, even aboard his yacht and private jet." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Valet (2007) |
"Briskly directed, The Valet hits the brakes for an abrupt ending, but this short ride delivers few apercus on fidelity, glamor or the nice boy next door." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 3/4 |
Valkyrie (2008) |
"A meticulous thriller based on a large-scale conspiracy within the German army to assassinate Hitler." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Valley Girl (1983) |
"This movie is a little treasure, a funny, sexy, appealing story of a Valley Girl's heartbreaking decision: Should she stick with her boring jock boyfriend, or take a chance on a punk from Hollywood?" |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Valley of the Dolls (1967) |
"It tries to raise itself to the level of sophisticated pornography, but fails. And it is dirty, not because it has lots of sex in it, but because it firmly believes that sex is dirty." |
Roger Ebert |

Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) |
"To call this a comedy is a sign of optimism; to call it a comeback for Murphy is a sign of blind faith." |

Van Helsing (2004) |
"Silly and spectacular, and fun." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Vanaja (2007) |
"Vanaja, a beautiful and heart-touching film from India, represents a miracle of casting. Every role, including the challenging central role of a low-caste 14-year-old girl, is cast perfectly and played flawlessly." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Vanilla Sky (2001) |
"There is wonderful chemistry of two quite different kinds between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on the one hand, and Cruise and Penelope Cruz on the other." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Vanishing (1988) |
"The movie advances in a tantalizing fashion, supplying information obliquely, suggesting as much as it tells, and everything leads up to a climax that is as horrifying as it is probably inevitable." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
The Vanishing (1993) |
"The first movie was existential in its merciless unfolding. This one turns into a slasher movie with a cheap joke at the end." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Vanity Fair (2004) |
"The peculiar quality of Vanity Fair, which sets it aside from the Austen adaptations such as Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, is that it's not about very nice people. That makes them much more interesting." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) |
"A film which reduces Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" to its bare elements: loneliness, wasted lives, romantic hope and despair. To add elaborate sets, costumes and locations to this material would only dilute it." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Varsity Blues (1998) |

Vera Drake (2004) |
"A film of pitch-perfect, seemingly effortless performances." |
Roger Ebert |

The Verdict (1982) |
"The performances, the dialogue and the plot all work together like a rare machine." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Verdict on Auschwitz: The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965 (2007) |
"This exceptional film shows us the lower-echelon henchmen, the ones who enabled the master-racists." |
Bill Stamets |
Tomato 3/4 |
Veronica Guerin (2003) |
"Cate Blanchett plays Guerin in a way that fascinated me for reasons the movie probably did not intend." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Veronika Voss (1982) |
"Fassbinder's visual style is the perfect match for this subject." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Vertical Limit (2000) |
"Made from obvious formulas and pulp novel conflicts, but strongly acted and well crafted." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2001) |
"The Vertical Ray of Sun is beautiful, languorous, passive -- it plays like background music for itself." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Vertigo (1958) |
"It is about how Hitchcock used, feared and tried to control women." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
Very Bad Things (1998) |
"Peter Berg's Very Bad Things isn't a bad movie, just a reprehensible one." |
Roger Ebert |

A Very Brady Sequel (1996) |
"I didn't laugh much during A Very Brady Sequel, but I did smile a lot." |

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
"He is a little like Eric Rohmer here. The actors are attractive, the city is magnificent, the love scenes don't get all sweaty, and everybody finishes the summer a little wiser and with a lifetime of memories. What more could you ask?" |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Victim (1961) |
"Recent critics find Victim timid in its treatment of homosexuality, but viewed in the context of Great Britain in 1961, it's a film of courage." |

View from the Top (2003) |
"Paltrow is lovable in the right roles, and here she's joined by two others who are sunny on the screen: Candice Bergen, as the best-selling flight attendant who becomes her mentor, and Mark Ruffalo." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
The Village (2004) |
"The Village is a colossal miscalculation, a movie based on a premise that cannot support it, a premise so transparent it would be laughable were the movie not so deadly solemn." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Vincent & Theo (1990) |
"[A] film that generates the feeling that we are in the presence of a man in the act of creation." |
