Jackie Brown (1997) |
"While this is not his best work to date, it is still a solid piece of moviemaking that shows he has more range as a writer and director than many wanted to give him credit for." |
James Kendrick |

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) |
"That the end result is convoluted, lacking in logical coherence, and sometimes downright silly is not ideal, but you can sense the genuine desire to take the story in a new direction" |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"giddy, goofy, random, crude and rude, and it is often side-splittingly hilarious" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
JCVD (2008) |
"a bold attempt to humanize Van Damme, not by trying to ignore his personal and professional pitfalls, but by reminding us that behind ever movie star, loved or loathed, is a complex human being" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 4/4 |
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) |

Jude (1996) |
"Jude is an affecting tragedy because, like all great tragedies, it involves believable, sympathetic characters. Winterbottom's film version benefits immensely from its extremely talented cast of actors." |

Jules And Jim (1962) |
"complicates any easy sense of what true freedom really entails" |
