Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) |
"With its shifting moods and its fairy tale symbolism of youth and age, sexuality and death, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders is part opaque folk tale and part Gothic horror." |

Vampyr (1931) |
"Vampyr plays upon many archetypal fears of modern horror (science, doctors, disease, women, insanity, premature burial), but its power lies in its disorienting visual effects." |

Vengeance Is Mine (1979) |
"In Vengeance Is Mine, Imamura seeks to demarcate a position outside of all of the conventional Japanese identity, and so his viewpoint, like Enokizu, evades capture." |

Vera Drake (2004) |
"Staunton lends the role of Vera a great emotional complexity, eschewing any facile moral response to the social and sexual issues at the heart of the film." |

Vera Drake (2004) |
"There are few topics that generate more controversy than abortion, yet Mike Leigh's film seems wholly uninterested in courting debate." |

Vernon, Florida (1981) |
"Vernon at first appears to be an exploitative display of the fluent eccentricities of a rural compendium and becomes collectively applicable, even relevant." |
Rumsey Taylor |

Vertigo (1958) |
"Justifying Vertigo's poor initial performance, it is a film that requires distance, as well as the completion of Hitchcock’s career. It is a moment of acknowledgment in the final, retrospective establishment of the director’s frequent themes." |

Videodrome (1983) |
"Videodrome operates as a study in metaphysics; it draws attention to its medium and in doing so cleverly violates its fiction." |

A View to a Kill (1985) |
"Moore's tryst with Grace Jones is, on the one hand, a well-intentioned attempt to tear down the Bond-girl color barrier, and, on the other, a rather disturbing image." |

Vixen (1968) |
"The dialogue of this film alone, without any visual accompaniment, would presage a much more explicit film, not to mention its entertainment in and of itself." |
Rumsey Taylor |
Tomato |
Volver (2006) |
"Volver admittedly remains a rather slight work, neither as flashy nor as wildly unpredictable as his past few films, preferring instead a quieter elegance and more intimate tone than Almodóvar’s more elastic marvels of screenwriting architecture." |
