A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Richard Linklater's squiggly new film, A Scanner Darkly, is an ambitious attempt to find the right visual style to render the experience of drug addiction and the paranoid vision of novelist Philip K. Dick, into a distinctive visual form." |
Liam Lacey |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"The movie isn't just about Schmidt as a personality, it's a portrait of his world, and Payne and co-writer Taylor show a rare compassion for the superficially comfortable." |

Accepted (2006) |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"Yes, this is tour de force stuff, and yet, just like a good pop tune, the premise is all boy-meets-girl simplicity." |

Adam (2009) |
"Were it not for the fine engaging performances of both Dancy and Byrne, Adam would be sickly sweet." |
Jennie Punter |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

Adaptation (2002) |
"A comic gem with some serious sparkles." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Adoration (2009) |
"Once again, Egoyan has created a film that descends from ideas rather than experience, driven by theme rather than character, and he does both very well." |
Kate Taylor |

Adoration (2009) |
"Though the plot borders on the abstruse, it's also the director's best film in a decade." |

Adrenaline Rush (2004) |

Adventureland (2009) |
"[Director Mottola] coaxes a set of uniformly credible performances from his ensemble cast, and makes effective use of a soundtrack that's as eclectic as the characters." |

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"How does it end? With a headache, of course, from all those cheering children." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"Narratively, what we have here is a basic road movie, a genre that too often doubles as an excuse to hide a flawed script -- merely an episodic series of loose vignettes." |
Rick Groen |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"It's no small feat to film a documentary like this with the right balance of reverence for the craft of air guitar and good, old-fashioned shooting at an easy target, but Lipsitz pulls it off." |
