Abandon (2002) |

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
|
"Abduction unfolds as a tightly plotted mystery, and it wouldn't be fair to reveal much more than that." | |

About a Boy (2002) |
|
"Rascally Hugh Grant, a beyond-awkward little boy and the makers of American Pie team up for a near-perfect comic delight." | |

About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"Despite Jack Nicholson's competence, this comedy about a Midwestern retiree never goes beyond mocking its characters and flattering its audience." | |

Absolute Power (1997) |
|
"The picture might have gotten by if Eastwood had given it some impudent wit. But he directs to the rhythm of his facial muscles." | |
Charles Taylor | |

|
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
|
"Absolute Wilson doesn't depend on believing in Wilson's greatness, just on his immense cultural potency and the extraordinary nature of his personal odyssey." | |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |

After The Wedding (2007) |
|
"What feels at first like a quiet, straightforward picture builds into one of the richest and most satisfying of the year so far, in any genre or any language." | |
Andrew O'Hehir | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Against the Ropes (2003) |
|
"Somewhere along the way, I found myself enjoying Against the Ropes, not in spite of my better judgment, but because something in the movie defies the whole notion of better judgment altogether." | |

Aimee & Jaguar (2000) |
|
"The film ... isn't up to the complexities the story raises, but it's a consistently engrossing piece of work." | |
Charles Taylor | |

Air Force One (1997) |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |

"It's never clear from one moment to the next what is a joke and what is deadly earnest, until the two concepts finally merge into a sort of Buddhist singularity." | |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
|
"Dull and listless from the start, partly because the leads fail to connect and partly because both the script and the direction let them down." | |
Stephanie Zacharek | |

|
Alfie (2004) |
|
"The movie invites us to revel in Alfie's stylishness, and then slaps us on the wrist for reveling in it a little too much." | |

Ali (2001) |

Alias Betty (2002) |
|
"Don't let the creepy dread fool you -- this quiet French thriller gets to the heart of motherhood, and then pays off with comfort and calm." | |

Alice et Martin (1998) |
|
"Alice et Martin has its faults, but there's some real meat here, in the performances and direction." | |
Charles Taylor | |

|
|
Alien (1979) |
|
"A haunted-house movie set in space, Alien also has a profoundly existentialist undertow that makes it feel like a film noir -- the other genre to feature a slithery, sexualized monster as its classic villain." | |

All About the Benjamins (2002) |

All or Nothing (2002) |
|
"Leigh's daring here is that without once denying the hardscrabble lives of people on the economic fringes of Margaret Thatcher's ruinous legacy, he insists on the importance of those moments when people can connect and express their love for each other." | |
Charles Taylor | |
|

All The King's Men (2006) |
|
"We never quite know what Willie Stark does stand for, aside from the fact that we're repeatedly told he's a man of the people. Penn's performance has the opacity of solid brick." | |

All the Real Girls (2003) |

Almost Famous (2000) |

Alpha Dog (2007) |
|
"Cassavetes -- a sometime actor himself -- doesn't seem to understand actors at all. From the finished product, it looks as if his preferred method of guiding his actors is to egg them on rather than nudge them toward restraint." | |
Stephanie Zacharek | |

Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003) |

Amazing Grace (2007) |

"[Apted's] picture, openhearted and enthusiastic, is partly an ode to Wilberforce and partly a love letter to the simple act of taking action." | |

Amelie (2001) |
|
"It's hard to be charmed, hard to think of a movie as a delightful trifle, when you're so conscious of how hard the filmmakers are working to make it charming." | |
