L'Iceberg (2005) |
"The only unconvincing note in this tender, lyrical romantic reverie, is an inflexible moralistic resolution advocating female dream abstinence in favor of what is presented as a mutually exclusive conventional domestic existence." |

L.I.E. (2001) |
"This dystopic suburban teen's eye view of that journey to difficult adulthood, redefines the notion of road movie as inner road rage in enormous, chilling ways." |

The Ladies Man (2000) |
"Meadows takes the cheerfully lewd Leon Phelps to the big screen without the help of viagra in The Ladies Man." |

Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"An organic sexual awakening more intricately and sensitively in tune with female erotic mechanics and the female gaze." |

Tomato |
Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"Reimagines the ferociously testosterone-saturated D.H. Lawrence carnal classic from Lady Chatterly's erotic point of view. In other words, the film takes its time, lingering in all the right places and essential moments." |

The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"Historical fantasy rules in Hollywood's Africa." |

The Last Winter (2007) |
"An eco-supernatural dreamscape companion piece to Al Gore's cautionary doc, An Incovenient Truth, and a thinking man's figurative and literal sub-Arctic chiller with a turbulent character-driven indie soul." |

Legally Blonde (2001) |
"Reese's flair for funny allows her to give dignity to the idea of dumb blonde and out'smart' the opposition, both scriptwise and culturally speaking." |

The Legend of Rita (2001) |
"It was not always easy for Volker Schlondorff to revisit the complexities of what he sought to shape on screen, and he told me he regarded my questions as difficult but "very soul searching."" |

Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"Ventures the idea that the World War II Japanese foot soldier, rather than the exoticized and deeply insane racial stereotype, may in many cases have not wished to fight in a war at all." |

Tomato |
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"A poetic and meditatively paced story that unfolds as an alternately mournful and horrifically detailed mood piece, humanizing historical stereotypes." |

License To Wed (2007) |
"Robin Williams gets so collared here, doing his bad boy standup comic cleric routine with relish." |

Tomato |
Life Support (2007) |
"A film as raw and real as documentary, but with an acutely organic sense of the drama and passion to be gleaned from a combination of fired up imagination and visceral human pain." |

Lights In The Dusk (2007) |
"Another in a series of Kaurismaki's deeply touching portraits of ordinary people, full of gentle and mournfully poetic subtle narrative rhythms." |

Lions for Lambs (2007) |
"MediaBlvd.com: With references to Greek philosophy at hand, Redford's intention to spark political discourse about the ailing state of the nation, and the needless sacrifice of its young to wars." |

Little Black Book (2004) |
"With digital do-it-yourself precision prying now, it may be not be how far you can go, but how much do you really want to know?" |

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) |
"The film is part of an emerging trend that taps into the very real and urgent concerns of working people in increasingly pauperized Bush's America." |

The Lives of Others (2006) |
"The film's cartoonish Stasi in comparison to, say, the US military at Guantanamo or Abu Grab, seem more akin to the Salvation Army." |

The Lives of Others (2006) |
"The Lives Of Others' obedient, obsessed spy in an exceedingly odd sense may have much more of a handle on the lives of others than, say, the filmmaker, who himself was around six years old at that time period of the former GDR." |
Prairie Miller |

Lonely Hearts (2007) |
"Conveys its potent dynamic with subtlety and enormous sensitivity, touching viewers in opposite ways by an understanding of the power of love that can utterly destroy, yet also revive and transform the deadened soul of this emotionally crushed detective." |
Prairie Miller |
Tomato |
Longing (2006) |
"Challenges the usual guilt-free male narrative inventions, the misogynistic cliches about the conniving other women who tempt men to stray from their marriages, and conversely the frigid or shrewish wives who drive them into adultery." |

Looking for an Echo (2000) |
"The a capella interludes are a thrilling journey down musical memory lane, but do not harmonize with the self-pitying narrative weepie.." |

Lord of War (2005) |
"That the CIA engages in these activities with all sorts of Orlovs no doubt slithering around in the mix somewhere, is a far more intriguing huge chunk of vital information that sadly never made it to the screen." |

Losing Ground (2005) |
"Surprises and fascinates as psyches collide and explode, and a collective darker side to these seemingly fractured anddisconnected characters unravels in myriad ways." |

Losing Ground (2005) |
"The film, with its muted but potently charged minimalism, has much to convey about how economic and emotional uncertainties of a greed culture steeped in narcissistic myth and fantasy, cripple people's lives emotionally." |

Lucky Numbers (1999) |
"In a brazen gamble that mixes a risky brew of raw indie humor with Hollywood feelgood fluff, Lucky Numbers plays a game with the expectations of both of these audiences." |

Lust, Caution (2007) |
"A Juliet if not Romeo steamy Shanghai erotic spy thriller, Ang Lee's Lust Caution crosses party lines to contemplate sexual betrayal laced with toxic unrequited desire." |

The Luzhin Defence (2001) |
"More lyrical and affecting than the stiffly contrived A Beautiful Mind. Profoundly in touch with the miracle and curse of a fragile, fanatical artistic sensibility." |
