A

Gandhi (1982)

"Overshadowing even Ben Kingsley's astonishing, transcendent performance in his first major screen role is a larger, more formidable presence: that of Gandhi himself."

Steven D. Greydanus

Gangs of New York (2002)

"I’m not convinced that there’s anything more at the center of the finished picture than the director’s own interest in the subject matter."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

The Gathering Storm (2002)

"Well-made HBO biopic… not the Churchill best known to popular imagination, but a lesser-known figure — a washed-up, unpopular MP nattering on in the House of Commons about views on India and Germany shared by few…"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A+

The General (1927)

"Begins with a single, brilliantly sustained premise and works it into an engaging story with edge-of-your-seat excitement and stunningly conceived stunts and sight gags."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
2/4

Ghost Rider (2007)

"Is this the best they could do with a fiery, chopper-riding skeleton that punishes the wicked -- put him in chase scenes and have him duke it out with other supernatural beings? What a wasted opportunity."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

Gladiator (2000)

"All the pieces are in place, but somehow they just don’t come together."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C-

Gods and Generals (2003)

"Everybody is so good and decent that it’s hard to tell where the generals leave off and the gods start."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A

The Gold Rush (1925)

"City Lights might be Chaplin's most exquisite achievement, but he never made a funnier or more beloved film than his own personal favorite, Gold Rush."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
D

The Golden Compass (2007)

"Neophytes may be left in the dust for lack of narrative connections and clarifications, while Pullman admirers of all stripes may feel short-changed on mood and atmosphere."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C

Good Boy! (2003)

"Basically harmless but uninspired, Good Boy! will leave viewers essentially none the worse for wear but no better either."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Good Morning (1959)

"Ozu's delicate, wry comedy of manners takes a sympathetic but not uncritical look at life and etiquette in a small 1950s Japanese village community."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Goodbye, Mr. Chips

"Not a remake of the 1939 classic but a new adaptation of Hilton's sentimental novella… couldn't be more different from the 1939 film, and that's all to the good."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)

"The original inspirational-teacher story, and a beloved valentine to classical education, tradition, and the English public boarding schools of a bygone era."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
C+

Gosford Park (2001)

"Was it biting social satire, or was it only smug and misanthropic?"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A+

The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1965)

"Its most enduring achievement is an ironic one, given Pasolini's Marxism: No other life-of-Christ film is so contemplative."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

Grandma's Boy (1922)

Tomato
A

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

"[Evokes] the experiences of childhood grief, small moments of ordinary life and happiness amid tragedy and fear, and the overwhelming confusion of adult responsibilities falling on teenaged shoulders as powerfully as in any film I've seen."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B+

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)

"The most visually and emotionally dynamic film ever made about a game of golf — perhaps the most visually and emotionally dynamic possible film about a game of golf."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)

"A Nice Guy Finishes First: Mark Frost, Bill Paxton, Shia LaBeouf and Josh Flitter Talk About The Greatest Game Ever Played"

The Green Mile (1999)

"Those whose lives Coffey touches may find relief from physical ailments, but they seem no freer, more hopeful, or nobler for the experience."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

Grizzly Man (2005)

"At turns fascinating and banal… a film that dances around vital questions about the human condition that it is barely able to articulate, let alone address."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

The Guys (2002)

"Those who aren't put off by the film's austerity will find it more than capable of rewarding them."

Steven D. Greydanus
