Tomato 3/4	The Namesake (2007)	"The film is generally engaging but feels elusively incomplete. One could say it is about the journey rather than the destination."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C+	Nanny McPhee (2006)	"Frays in the second half… Fancy Darcy as a limp romantic lead!"	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Napoleon (1927)	"An extraordinary artifact from another culture, a mythology as remarkable and as alien as the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Icelandic Eddas."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	Napoleon Dynamite (2004)	"A Roschach test of viewer empathy… while I respect the concerns of those who find the movie cruel, I have to side with those who find it ultimately endearing."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D-	Narc (2002)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat F	National Security (2003)	"Expects the audience to enjoy the prospect of a beleaguered white man suffering at the hands of a smug, self-righteous black man who never owns up to what he's done, never gets his comeuppance, and is rewarded in the end with a badge."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	National Treasure (2004)	"Works fairly well as slick, enjoyable hooey… in its general approach if not all particulars, this could represent a promising new approach in family entertainment."	Steven D. Greydanus
-	The Nativity Story (2006)	"'People want to do these microbudgeted niche films that cater to a very specific audience… Our argument to New Line was, 200 million Americans shouldn't be considered a niche.' - Producer Wyck Godfrey"	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	The Nativity Story (2006)	"Even at the height of Hollywood biblical epics, the real meaning of Christmas was essentially ignored. The Nativity Story goes a long way toward redressing this historic omission."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	The Navigator (1921)	"Isn't as sophisticated and satisfying as [Keaton's] best (e.g., The General), but still brilliant slapstick comedy, with a rousing third act and a slam-bang climax."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	Nazarin (1958)	"The most breathtaking cinematic cross-examination of faith I have ever seen… not content to ignore religion as a non-issue, or to take cheap shots at its practitioners."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	The New World (2005)	"Malick's painterly images and meditative voiceovers are not for me the overwhelming force of nature they are for some, but I'm willing to be swept along by them, if what they have to say is potent enough."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	Nicholas Nickleby (2002)	"Does a respectable job of retelling as much of Dickens’ tale as possible in the time alloted."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	A Night at the Opera (1935)	"The new level of polish gives Opera broader appeal� but also threatens to derail their special brand of anarchic comedy. Fortunately, the Marx magic prevails."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	The Night of the Hunter (1955)	"[Powell's] glibly superficial moralizing is epitomized by an infantile hand-play… [Gish's character] provides an undistorted counterpoint to Powell's diseased religiosity."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	A Night to Remember (1957)	"The clearest, most honorable cinematic depiction of the Titanic disaster… a classy depiction of how human beings in 1912 faced life and death in the fabled tragedy."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)	"Despite the macabre humor, there’s something touchingly innocent about Halloweentown."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Ninth Day (2005)	"Digs beyond rote charges of ecclesiastical complicity and counter-arguments to explore various levels of resistance and protest — and their consequences."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D+	Northfork (2003)	"The jokey elements are artificial, and strike a note of banality that undermines whatever sense of transcendence the film might be attempting in its stark, sweeping cinematography and mystical, dreamy milieu."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Nosferatu (1922)	"Almost unique in imagining a vampire who is not darkly attractive, but corpselike and ghastly… the imagery resists allegorization, remaining simply, unsettlingly, itself."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D+	The Notebook (2004)	"See Noah and Allie lie in a darkened intersection, scrambling for safety when a car comes! See Allie on the porch wrapped in a sheet enjoying post-coital nude oil painting!"	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	The Nun's Story (1959)	"Certainly doesn't offer the positive depiction of religious life common in 1950s Hollywood, but it's not an anti-religious or anti-Catholic depiction either."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D-	Nurse Betty (2000)	"Does LaBute feel any sympathy for his victimized women, or merely contempt for their weakness?"	Steven D. Greydanus
