I am a Sex Addict (2005) |
"It’s hard to disapprove of Zahedi, who is far more of a pushover, or a patsy, than the fierce and knowing women he meets." |
Anthony Lane |

I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"The real thing -- an authentic disaster -- but the picture is so odd that it should inspire, in at least a part of the audience, feelings of fervent loyalty." |
David Denby |

I Served the King of England (2008) |
"Jiří Menzel’s I Served the King of England is a Czech national epic served up with champagne and truffles." |
David Denby |

I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"A lyrical throwback to such movies as René Clément's Forbidden Games (1952) and other works of the humanist European cinema of a half century ago." |
David Denby |
Splat |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"It makes Yellow Submarine look like a miracle of sober narrative." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"You may need to see I’ve Loved You So Long twice in order to see it once." |
David Denby |
Tomato |
The Iceman Cometh (1973) |
"Eugene O’Neill’s great, heavy, simplistic, mechanical, beautiful play has been given a straightforward, faithful production in handsome, dark-toned color." |
Pauline Kael |
Tomato |
Il Divo (2009) |
"You could dismiss Servillo’s portrayal as a cartoon, but the great actors know that beneath the dark surface of caricature lies a heightened and vivifying truth, as potent as fortified wine. Consume with great caution, and with joy." |
Anthony Lane |

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) |
"[Gilliam] can follow any train of thought, so he does, and it’s no surprise when the trains run out of steam." |
Anthony Lane |

In Bruges (2008) |
"No one wants a movie that tiptoes in step with political correctness, yet the willful opposite can be equally noxious." |
Anthony Lane |

In Her Shoes (2005) |
"Although In Her Shoes aims to rub along, with that scuffed worldliness which Hanson has made his own, it keeps bumping into the archness of the romantic-domestic genre." |

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) |
"To praise the beauty of this film is not enough; what lends it tension is that it’s wrapped around people for whom beauty is at best an anachronism and at worst an embarrassing joke." |
Anthony Lane |
Splat |
In the Loop (2009) |
"By the end of the film, you just want to get away from these people." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
In the Shadow of the Moon (2007) |
"It has taken a British director, David Sington, to do what nobody has done before: sit down with surviving Apollo astronauts and get them to talk us through what was, in retrospect, the happiest public event of an unhappy century." |

In the Valley of Elah (2007) |
"[Jones] gives a great, selfless, and heartbreaking performance that completely dominates this elusive but powerful movie." |
David Denby |
Tomato |
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) |
"It will be interesting to watch how skeptics will deal with Gore’s bad news on the environment without making themselves look very small." |
David Denby |

The Incredible Hulk (2008) |
"Digital spectacle is both too much and too little, and it’s beginning to put some of us in a funk of disappointment and boredom. When you’ve seen one half-ton piece of metal flung through the air, you’ve seen them all." |
David Denby |
Tomato |
The Incredibles (2004) |
"The folks at the movie's heart are exaggerated way beyond our capacities but not quite beyond our imaginings. The title is unjust; these are the very slightly credibles." |
Anthony Lane |
Splat |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) |
"Crystal Skull isn’t bad -- there are a few dazzling sequences, and a couple of good performances -- but the unprecedented blend of comedy and action that made the movies so much more fun than any other adventure series is mostly gone." |
David Denby |
Tomato |
Infamous (2006) |
"Jones gets everything -- the gestures, the generosity, the mean streak, the bending of the ear to recitals of woe, whether across a lunch table or a prison cell." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
Infernal Affairs (2003) |
"I was certainly happy to be trapped in the film's conceit, and the directors, Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, manage to convince us that we have witnessed an action movie, although in fact the quantity of violence is so minimal." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
The Informant! (2009) |
"The Informant! is a return to form for Soderbergh, who couldn’t seem to put anything resembling an emotional charge into his recent films...This time, Soderbergh is in full control, and his star is on fire." |
David Denby |
Splat |
Inglourious Basterds (2009) |
"Inglourious Basterds is not boring, but it’s ridiculous and appallingly insensitive—a Louisville Slugger applied to the head of anyone who has ever taken the Nazis, the war, or the Resistance seriously." |
David Denby |
Splat |
Inside Deep Throat (2005) |
"Deep Throat bore an X certificate. Inside Deep Throat is an NC-17. Neither is suitable for grownups." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
Inside Man (2006) |
"The more it sags as a thriller, the more it jabs and jangles as a study of racial abrasion." |
Anthony Lane |
Tomato |
Intermission (2004) |
"The great thing about Intermission is that you barely have time to spot the gaps." |
Anthony Lane |

The International (2009) |
"Killer banks may be new to the movies, but there's nothing else original in this if-it's-Tuesday-this-must-be-Istanbul thriller, with its portentous globe-hopping and racing through colorful street bazaars." |
David Denby |
Splat |
The Interpreter (2005) |
"Such, unfortunately, is the pitfall for thrillers that aim to be more literate and grownup than the usual fare: they sometimes forget to thrill." |
Anthony Lane |
Splat |
Into the Wild (2007) |
"Sean Penn’s Into the Wild is certainly visual -- it’s entirely too visual, to the point of being cheaply lyrical." |
David Denby |
Splat |
The Invention of Lying (2009) |
"The last third of the movie is as bad as anything I’ve seen this year, with the laughs trailing off, and half of the supporting characters, the zestier ones, being airbrushed from the frame." |
Anthony Lane |
Splat |
Iron Man (2008) |
"There’s a slightly depressed, going-through-the-motions feel to the entire show." |
