 "...seductive narrative lays out Woodman's epigrammatic journals, photographs, and videos as clues in a self-murder mystery.... wrenching..." |

 "Some will critique Jeunet's antiwar fable for its naïveté, but at least his goofy 'Ocean's Eleven'-type comedy is after something more than casino cash." |

 "...unfortunately it's not spectacularly, hilariously awful.... it's the worst kind of bad: Boring bad." |

 "...thrillingly goofy, unabashedly strange... might be a bit convoluted for young kids, but the total sensory overload should keep them happy." |

 "...sorely tests the limits of Radnor's artfully stubbled affability, but he very nearly gets away with it... The look and feel of the film is unpretentious and warm..." |

Weak |
 "...has virtues (the stark, stylized visuals; a scenery-shredding turn by Gary Oldman), yet it ends with such a naked attempt at launching a franchise, any good evaporates." |

Outstanding |
 "...a pitch-perfect satire of marriage and morality, a perversely satisfying romance, an oddly empowering women's anthem, and, above all, the best sort of comedy..." |

Weak |
 "...timely and satiric -- but also brutally repetitive and poorly written.... Like any cheap high, it's a quick rush followed by a crushing sense of emptiness." |

 "...a compulsive parasite that sucks up the essence of so many other superheroes it loses any semblance of its own identity." |

 "...a banging, bumpy ride... worthy just for its condensed, montage tour through this creative eruption... vital..." |

 "...likably unpretentious... It slows down in the final third but holds together reasonably well until the very end..." |

 "Max Winkler flaunts a sure touch with fast-moving, occasionally sharp dialogue... but his film skitters over the surface like a crab on glass and the casting doesn't work." |

Poor |
 "The camera doesn't so much propel the story forward as orbit Pattinson's head, like a reverent CAT scan." |

 "...grotesquely powerful... these interviews play, at once, like legal testimony, painful confession, and egotistical monologue." |

 "...disappointing... an audacious gamble... the scattered, predictable execution rarely matches the bravado of the premise." |

 "Among gore-hounds, genre nuts, and lovers of all that is deeply bizarre about Japanese cinema, Takashi Miike is a freaky godfather.... focused, lean and mean..." |

Poor |
 "...insufferable... Inept and implausible in almost every way... the smug rom-com answer to the Apatowian man-child comedy..." |

 "The comedy is as familiar as the ceremony at a cookie-cutter wedding factory: Much feels old or borrowed; nothing feels new." |

 "...communion-wafer thin, pseudo-religious... When you watch Paul Bettany, you can't help wondering why the hell a talented actor is stuck in such an ungodly mess." |

 "...less a chronicle of an era than a loving scrapbook: It has the amateur feel of a video guestbook, signed by all of Morellet's friends. And really, the scattershot approach perfectly captures the restaurant's lovably garish vibe." |
