Tomato B	V For Vendetta (2005)	"First-time director James McTeigue's big, bold imagery, with slashing reds and blacks, is a close approximation of the novel's look and feel."	Peter Rainer
Splat C	Vacancy (2007)	"So little is going on in it that you might as well be watching a sadistic lab experiment performed on mice."	Peter Rainer
Tomato B-	Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009)	"This love letter to Valentino from director Matt Tyrnauer seems intended for the already smitten."	Peter Rainer
Splat C	Valiant (2005)	"Unlike the terrific claymation film Chicken Run (2000), here the jokes largely lay eggs."	Marshall Heyman
Splat C-	Valkyrie (2008)	"Surely there is some middle ground between a history lesson and mindless action-adventure. The people who made Valkyrie not only didn't find that ground; they weren't even looking for it."	Peter Rainer
Tomato 3/4	Valley of Tears (2003)	"The movie peaks about halfway through, when town officials try to stop Perry from revealing what's going on."	David Sterritt
Splat 1/4	Van Helsing (2004)	"This isn't a horror movie, it's a sensory assault, full of flaming fireballs and shrieking banshees that make your eyes and ears feel as jeopardized as a vampire at sunrise."	David Sterritt
Tomato 3/4	Vanilla Sky (2001)	"Vanilla Sky resembles a fast-and-flashy variation on The Sixth Sense, with touches of The Matrix as a bonus."	David Sterritt
Splat 2/4	Vanity Fair (2004)	"What's missing from this Vanity Fair is the sense of plucky, anything-goes adventurousness that abounds in Thackeray's novel."	David Sterritt
Tomato B+	Venus (2006)	"O'Toole has such a one-of-a-kind face that at times the director, Roger Michell, is content just to have his camera gaze upon it. That puts a burden on O'Toole, who cannot, and doesn't care to, hide the ravages of time."	Peter Rainer
Tomato 4/4	Vera Drake (2004)	"The acting is brilliant and Leigh's screenplay -- developed through his usual process of improvisation and rehearsal -- is very long on compassion, very short on preaching and politics."	David Sterritt
Tomato A	Verdict on Auschwitz: The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 1963-1965 (2007)	"As both historical document and human document, this 180-minute epic is infinitely valuable."	Peter Rainer
Tomato 3/4	Veronica Guerin (2003)	"Gains energy and credibility from skillful acting by a largely Irish cast."	David Sterritt
Tomato 3/4	A Very Long Engagement (2004)	"The drama is well crafted and sometimes touching."	David Sterritt
Tomato B	Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)	"There's something intriguing going on here. It's a movie about the sacrifices that people make to be happy."	Peter Rainer
Splat 2/4	The Village (2004)	"Shyamalan remains a stilted screenwriter, but Roger Deakins's cinematography is spooky, creepy, eerie all the way."	David Sterritt
Splat C+	The Visitor (2008)	"McCarthy is so careful not to take a political stand that his film seems neutered by good intentions. In the spirit of squishy humanism, he soft-pedals a hard-hitting topic."	Peter Rainer
Tomato B+	Visual Acoustics: The Modernisms of Julius Shulman (2009)	"Bricker doesn't have much filmic pizazz, but Shulman's photos encompass the entire history of modernist architecture."	Peter Rainer
Tomato B+	Vitus (2007)	"A touching and inspirational fantasy, buoyed by splendid music and considerable humor."	M. K. Terrell
Splat 2/4	Vodka Lemon	"Diverting but minor."	David Sterritt
Tomato B+	Volver (2006)	"I have always felt that Almod�var was at his best as an artist when he was at his most playful. Volver is about deadly serious matters of the heart, but it often has a screwball spirit. The darker things are, the funnier."	Peter Rainer
