Q: 1. It is a toxically funny exercise in vulgarity of the sort for which the First Amendment appears to have been invented.
2. Let me reiterate. This movie is really, really dirty.
3. [P]robably the filthiest movie ever made. It's also hilarious and possibly one of the best studies of comedy put on film.
4. Choppy editing sabotages the viewer's ability to appreciate the comic's performance, thus undermining what is arguably the movie's chief reason for being.
5. Exudes cheerfulness and expansive joy.
6. You'd think that hearing the same joke told dozens of time in a row would get boring, and you'd be right - some of the time. But when a comic captures fire, look out.
7. See it if you aren't too jaded to appreciate a few laughs in these mostly mirthless times.
8. Did you hear the one about the 100 clueless comics who thought they were hilarious just because they said f--k eighteen times on camera?
9. It takes an extremely open mind and a strong constitution to stomach a lot of this.
10. 86 minutes is a long time to spend dissecting one joke, no matter how outrageously filthy it is.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Can a joke stand up to repeated tellings? Hilarious and revealing of the way comedy works, The Aristocrats demonstrates that it's possible.
1. More bewildering than entertaining.
2. The final twist does more to unravel what's come before than to tie it all together, making what's come before feel like a cosmopolitan goose chase.
3. Pretentious claptrap.
4. Ultimately, it's a whole lot of style at the service of a story that adds up to nothing more than a great big 'Gotcha!'
5. You the viewer have the dubious privilege of deciphering what shreds of internal logic the story holds, an exercise that quickly loses its mystique given the sensory overload of imagery and the flatness of the characters.
6. Stay is a heartless puzzle that builds no empathy for its characters, no pathos at all, as it is giving us many cryptic clues that don't really lead to that finale. It's an intellectual exercise, not an emotional one.
7. There's no payoff as things drag along to a ludicrous ending that reeks of contempt for its audience.
8. Too bad that when it comes time to finally produce a rabbit from his top hat, all Forster can manage is a mouse.
9. Stay has all the signs of a look-what-I-learned-in-film-school movie.
10. If you do not like Stay, it will not be because of the quality of the acting or the physicality of the setting they work in. Instead, it will be that you cannot or will not understand what Forster & company are on about in their surreal drama.
Consensus: A muddled brain-teaser, Stay has a solid cast and innovative visuals but little beneath the surface.
Q: 1. Contempt was Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 attempt at a big-budget, big- star production, and more or less satisfied his curiosity.
2. It emerges as one of Godard's most emotional films.
3. A superlative film about many things, including the making of a film, the break-up of a married couple, and the parallels between the contemporary New Wave world (of 1963) and the classical (Old Wave) world of Homer.
4. While Contempt is seen by many as Godard's most "commercial" or "mainstream" film, it is also one of his most emotionally stirring and deeply felt.
5. It is not just the uniqueness of the narrative structure or the boldly original story that make Contempt such a fantastic film, but also Godard's typically original and mind-bogglingly beautiful imagery that make the it one of a kind.
6. A powerful, uncomfortable and essential work.
7. One of my favorite Godard films.
8. The star pouts prettily, as always; Palance is fascinatingly evil; and famed director Fritz Lang plays himself with aplomb.
9. A fine film about the pressures of filmmaking. And it's an even finer film about the tragedy of marital dissolution.
10. Inevitably a melancholy film, but a memorable one as well.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: This powerful work of essential cinema joins "meta" with "physique," casting Brigite Bardot and director Godard's inspiration Fritz Lang.
1. The Core, a splurge of teamwork on screen and behind it, is so crazily improbable that it becomes madly believable.
2. I never thought I'd see the day when I would write that someone like Qualls acts circles around Tucci, Jenkins or Lindo, some of our best actors.
3. Unblushingly tacky and derivative.
4. Once again, sensible drama and intriguing characters take a back seat to a crazy concept.
5. This is one shelved project that should have stayed on the shelf.
6. The Core is a bore.
7. This engagingly idiotic disaster movie can be a hoot at times, although it runs out of steam about a half-hour before it's over.
8. A dumb movie made enjoyable by witty performances and snappy dialogue.
9. A consummate popcorn film.
10. An effective marriage of two popular film genres.
Consensus: A B-movie with its tongue planted firmly in cheek, The Core is so unintentionally (intentionally?) bad that it's a hoot.
Q: 1. A throwback to all that made movies like this exciting in the first place, a film where the action, though highly alluring, remains less important than the mystery at hand.
2. A transcendent summer movie: It assumes, for two hours, you've brain and heart enough to stick with a film that doesn't condescend, doesn't beat you up and doesn't dumb you to death.
3. Even if the new Bourne Identity doesn't stick to the letter of his work, the late, great Ludlum would still appreciate this ripping yarn if he saw it.
4. I've seen the best cloak-and-danger exercises, including The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and the original Day of the Jackal, and in terms of story and cold-sweat suspense, I'd rank this one right up there.
5. "The Bourne Identity" creates its own new coherence of indie arthouse and commercial thriller.
6. The screenplay never lets us forget that Bourne was once an amoral assassin just like the ones who are pursuing him . . . There is never really a true "us" versus "them".
7. A composition of gestures stripped of romance and presented in their barest forms.
8. A captivating spy thriller well worth the ticket price.
9. Confirms that espionage can be compelling without being sexy, even with Matt Damon in the starring role.
10. There's a new action hero in town, and I'm sorry Yoda, but he isn't a CGI midget with bad hygiene and Miss Piggy's voice.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Expertly blending genre formula with bursts of unexpected wit, The Bourne Identity is an action thriller that delivers -- and then some.
