Tomato

W. (2008)

"As the title character who is in almost every scene, Josh Brolin has done his homework well and offers a convincing interpretation of George W, effectively capturing his mannerisms and style of speech."

John Hiscock

Tomato

The Wackness (2008)

"Levine's film is often showy, clumsy, over-earnest. But then so are its characters. So is late adolescence. The Wackness carries out the advice Squires gives to Luke - make a mess, embrace pain. In doing so, it ends up anything but wack."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Splat

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

"The end of a golden run for Judd Apatow."

Tim Robey

Tomato

A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory (2007)

" Robinson is his niece and, though she affects a needlessly shaky, blurry style at times, she does her uncle's creative work justice."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Tomato

WALL-E (2008)

"The confidence and skill with which Stanton's team have extended the parameters of their art form are amazing."

Splat

Watchmen (2009)

"Snyder is so besotted with Moore’s book that he feels he has to include almost every detail. He dawdles interminably. Slow pans, slow tilts, slo-mo: there’s simply not enough kick or energy to justify the 160-minute running time."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Tomato

Water Lilies (2007)

"A quiet revelation."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Splat

The Wave (2008)

"As it bounds along with its pumping rock playlist, you start to realise that the movie is predictable and slightly scared, and that it doesn't really make sense."

Tim Robey

Tomato
3/5

Waveriders (2009)

"Slightly waffly paean to Irish surfing, rescued by the always awesome sight of waves as high as the screen, and consummately skilled, tanned blokes turning them into a canvas."

Tim Robey

Tomato

The Wayward Cloud (2007)

"So extravagantly, hilariously rude as to be almost indescribable."

Tim Robey

Tomato

We Own The Night (2007)

"The stand-out set piece is an agonising car chase in the rain, replacing the full-throttle showmanship of the Bourne series with a foot on the brake, a shotgun pointing out of the adjacent car, and a series of tight close-ups on the terrified Phoenix."

Tim Robey

Splat

We Were Soldiers (2002)

"Gibson wears a rictus of distaste which seems more suggestive of dodgy on-set catering than the horrors of combat."

Tim Robey

Splat

Weirdsville (2007)

"Allan Moyle's stoner heist movie is a meandering dud."

Tomato

What Just Happened (2008)

"Pure razzle-dazzle, of course - fittingly for this industry, it's a con-trick."

David Gritten

Tomato

When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (1960)

"Sprint, don't walk, up those BFI steps to see it."

Tom Robey

Tomato

When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008)

"Smoothly interwoven flashbacks dramatise both a relationship and an absence of one – or at least the blanks in one."

Tomato
3/5

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

"Loud, narcotised, emotionally stunted, it’s so eager to avoid the horrors of mainstream commodity culture that it concocts a defensive version of pre-adulthood."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Tomato
5/5

The White Ribbon (2009)

"With The White Ribbon, [Haneke] has out-done himself and produced the best film of his career, a tightly-wound, fully-fleshed and thoroughly mesmerising drama."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Tomato

The Wicker Man (1973)

"Part folk musical, part occult chiller, and quite mad."

Tim Robey

Splat

Wild Child (2009)

"A tweenie comedy with an uplifting American-style sports movie awkwardly bolted on, it's a mess - far inferior to the recent Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging."

David Gritten

Tomato

Wild Style (1982)

"It's great to see again this bolt of ghetto joy, a kind of updated West Side Story, that shows hip-hop as a living, breathing expression of cultural resistance rather than a crunky, cheerless set of cruddy grunts and boasts from which to make money."

Sukhdev Sandhu

Splat

Wind Chill (2007)

"The passage to ex-rental DVD bins will be swift for this lethally pretentious bit of low-rent schlock."

Tim Robey

Splat

Windtalkers (2002)

"A vast repository of hoary, honour-code clichés."

Tim Robey

Splat

The Women (2008)

"Once English has wheeled on Carrie Fisher and – horror of horrors – Bette Midler in a wildly unnecessary cameo, all momentum and fun have emigrated to another planet."

Tim Robey

Tomato
4/5

The Wrestler (2008)

"Not only has he hauled Rourke from his self-pitying slump, but, working from a screenplay written by Robert D Siegel, he has created an often-brutal, always-compelling portrait of a decent man trying to peel himself off Skid Row."

Sukhdev Sandhu
