About Schmidt (2002) |
"[Nicholson] makes Payne's film look better than it is, but he can't save it from being overlong, repetitious, and flat." |

Absolute Wilson (2006) |

Adoration (2009) |
"Adoration's ending may feel a little too artificial, a little too idealistic, but there is still something lovely about where these people end up." |

After Stonewall (1999) |

Alexander (2004) |

Beverly Berning |
Splat |
Alfie (2004) |

Ali (2001) |
"Ali does the unthinkable: making its complex and dynamic subject smaller than life." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
Alias Betty (2002) |

"Its mystery resonates long after the film ends." |
Gary Mairs |
Splat |
Aliens of the Deep (2005) |

"A series of emotionally stillborn incidents." |
Tom Block |
