Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002) |
"Another trumpet blast that there may be a New Mexican Cinema a-bornin'." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Yakuza (1975) |
"A superior action movie, but all the same, it's for audiences that have grown accustomed over the last few years to buckets of blood, disembowelments and severed hands flying through the air." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) |
"The greatness of the film resides entirely in the Cagney performance." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Yards (2000) |
"It's that [moral] ambiguity that makes the film interesting." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Year of the Dog (2007) |
"Year of the Dog succeeds in drawing you in, making you look at the world from her perspective. By the end of the movie, you will recognize what kind of a person she is -- and you'll understand how she came to be that way." |
Paige Wiser |

Splat 1/4 |
Year of the Horse: Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live (1997) |
"Plays like This Is Spinal Tap made from anti-matter. Both films are about aging rockers, but Year of the Horse removes the humor and energy." |
Roger Ebert |

Year One (2009) |
"Year One is a dreary experience, and all the ending accomplishes is to bring it to a close. Even in the credit cookies, you don't sense the actors having much fun." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Yella (2007) |
"Yella is a reserved young woman with unrevealed depths of intelligence, larceny and passion. Their gradual revelation makes this more than an ordinary thriller, in great part because of the performance of Nina Hoss in the title role." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yellow Submarine (1968) |
"A music-based animated film for the ages." |

Yes (2005) |
"Alive and daring, not a rehearsal of safe material and styles." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Yes Man (2008) |
"Jim Carrey works the premise for all it's worth, but it doesn't allow him to bust loose and fly." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Yes Men (2004) |
"They have such colorful characters and such an alarming story to tell that the film works in spite of its imperfections." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yes Men Fix the World (2009) |
"The film is entertaining in its own right, and thought-provoking. Why don't more people quickly see through their hoaxes?" |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Yi Yi (2000) |
"Only rarely is a film this observant and tender about the ups and downs of daily existence." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yojimbo (1961) |
"Even Eastwood's Man With No Name is inspired, perhaps, by the samurai in Yojimbo." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009) |
"The documentary Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg salutes Berg and her far-reaching influence." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
You Can Count on Me (2000) |
"The characters in You Can Count on Me have been freed from the formulas of fiction and set loose to live lives where they screw up, learn from their mistakes and bumble hopefully into the future." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) |
"Sandler works so hard at this, and so shamelessly, that he battered down my resistance." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
You Kill Me (2007) |
"No offense to Sir Ben, who does a mean deadpan, but his performance here is frequently more dead than pan -- which, given the material, was probably the wisest acting choice." |
Jim Emerson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
You Only Live Twice (1967) |
"This one is top-heavy with gadgets but weak on plotting and getting everything to work at the same time." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
You're a Big Boy Now (1966) |
"Coppola has fun directing, and his film is filled with sight jokes, high-spirited performances and a lively sound track by the Lovin' Spoonful." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
You've Got Mail (1998) |
"Ryan and Hanks have more winning smiles than most people have expressions!" |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
You, Me and Dupree (2006) |
"You, Me and Dupree has the feel of a film that could have gone in any number of directions, and perhaps at one time went in all of them." |
Jim Emerson |
Tomato 4/4 |
You, the Living (2009) |
"The result is in some ways a comedy with a twist of the knife, and in other ways, a film like nobody else has ever made -- except for its director, Roy Andersson of Sweden. Andersson’s You, the Living is hypnotic." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Young Adam (2004) |
"This is an almost Dostoyevskian study of a man brooding upon evil until it paralyzes him." |

Young Frankenstein (1974) |
"It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh. It's more confident and less breathless." |

Young@Heart (2008) |
"It shows that no one has more reason to stick it to The Man with rock music than people who are most defiantly not going gently into that good night." |

"There's not a moment in this story arc that is not predictable." |

Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love (2009) |
"This documentary by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi could have used more music for my taste, and fewer talking heads. But it’s absorbing all the same. N’Dour is the sort of humanitarian bridge that we need in a world so sharply divided." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Youth Without Youth (2007) |
"Youth Without Youth proves that Francis Ford Coppola can still make a movie, but not that he still knows how to choose his projects." |
