A Prophet (2009) |
"for all its gripping excitement as a thriller, and its grim realism as a sociopolitical exposé of life inside, A Prophet is also concerned with the mysterious processes of education, assimilation and transfiguration." |

Tomato 4/5 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A.I. belongs to Spielberg ... and to Osment, who, at 12-years-old, is the most heart-rending child actor of his generation. It is almost a triumph." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato |
Aaltra (2004) |
"For the bumpy ride that Aaltra offers, there are simply no seatbelts to fasten... Uproariously funny from beginning to end." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato |
Ab-Normal Beauty (2004) |
"Whether a moody thriller or a twisted head-trip, Ab-normal Beauty is an exquisitely disorienting portrait of an artist as a troubled soul - beautiful, bloody and rather bewildering." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"All haunted house movies feature labyrinthine corridors and darkened rooms, but few achieve the tangible depth and texture of The Abandoned. After so many inferior generic excursions and aberrations, Cerdà's film feels like a homecoming." |
Anton Bitel |
Splat 2/5 |
The Abduction Club (2002) |
"As a costume romance, based on real events, it is inept. As an entertainment, stuffed with fanciable young nobs, acting like 18th century Hooray Henrys, it is an acquired taste." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Aberdeen (2001) |
"Intelligent, well-written and beautifully acted." |

Abouna (2004) |
"Abouna is a small film, crafted with love and affection, that speaks with a quiet voice." |
Angus Wolfe Murray |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Abouna (2004) |
"Pleasant enough viewing ... but somewhat calculated, polished and ersatz." |
Keith H. Brown |
Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Although the movie is directed by the guys responsible for American Pie, what makes About A Boy so refreshing is the surprise factor -- surprisingly funny, surprisingly unsentimental, surprisingly enjoyable." |

Tomato 4/5 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"It must be said that this is one of best DVDs around. For once, the extras mean what they say." |

About Adam (2001) |

The Acid House (1998) |

The Actors (2003) |

Adaptation (2002) |
"This is a film of true originality, born of despair." |

Adventureland (2009) |
"Add to this some winningly low-key performances, a slacker sensibility that refuses to subscribe to the American Dream, and some genuine laughs, and you have a film that feels both wise and real." |

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"[Elmo] is brave and true, conquering his fear in the best Sesame tradition, and being, in every way, a valued and lovable companion." |

The Adventures of White Tuft (2009) |
"Blends spectacular wildlife footage with a sentimentalising, storybook narration that is rife with pathetic fallacy." |
Anton Bitel |

Aeon Flux (2005) |
"a live-action feature that captures all too depressingly the original TV cartoon's evolution from inventive weirdfest to a more run-of-the-mill brand of dystopian cyberpunk." |
Anton Bitel |
Tomato |
The Aerial (2007) |
"Reflexive, allegorical and poetic, La Antena (The Aerial) is a dizzyingly dense piece of cinema, thriving on paradox, and always matching its medium to its message." |
Anton Bitel |

An Affair of Love (2000) |

The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |

Affliction (1997) |
"Schrader uses the monochrome landscape to great effect, slowly building a tension." |

Afghan Star (2009) |
"Although not breaking new ground in terms of the way it is shot and edited, this is a compelling story and features some excellent archive footage." |

The African Queen (1951) |
"The audio commentary by Jack Cardiff which is the jewel in the extras' crown." |
