Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. It's work, but it's ultimately rewarding work. It tackles some truths that other movies wouldn't touch, not even with a stick and thick gloves.
2. For an industry that can barely manage to put women in leading roles, The Diary of a Teenage Girl casts a sexually brash 15-year-old as antihero, and succeeds.
3. It dares to show the heroine as something more complicated than a victim. As a result the movie lands somewhere outside the battle lines of contemporary gender politics, which may be why it feels true.
4. Heller's empathy and, let's be honest, her denial of prurience appears to free Powley from embarrassment. She's seizing this part, not shrinking from it.
5. Expect to feel uncomfortable watching Diary of a Teenage Girl, which is precisely the point of this finely etched debut feature by writer/director Marielle Heller.
6. There is a kind of achievement in depicting a sexual relationship between an adult man and his girlfriend's daughter in a way that makes it feel neither predatory nor twisted... Whether it is a thing worth achieving is another question.
7. Well-acted, well-written, well-considered, and very difficult to watch, this is a movie that challenges our expectations and makes us squirm in our seats, as though we're reading someone else's diary, when we know we shouldn't.
8. The Diary of a Teenage Girl is undeniably bold in its candor, but it leaves us feeling empty.
9. This marks an amazingly auspicious debut for Heller, who adapts Gloeckner's novel with uncompromising and unsettling power, despite its slight incursion into a Hollywoodized upbeat ending.
10. Heller's debut directorial effort is incisive and universal, despite its very specific and detailed setting.

Here is the consensus of critics:Boldly unconventional and refreshingly honest, Diary of a Teenage Girl is a frank coming-of-age story that addresses its themes -- and its protagonist -- without judgment.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. There are so many home runs hit deep out of the park on this one! What a great movie!
2. hardly a dark, weighty epic. In fact, it's more like the Red Velvet Cake that's a Southern speciality: lovely to look at, multi-layered and best taken lightly.
3. I'll be darned. The Coen brothers, which many cinephiles (myself included) like to call the most exciting working American filmmakers, have just made a bad movie.
4. With "O Brother,' the Coens have reached near perfection again, and that's something to sing about.
5. ...like life itself, the destination matters much less than the shared journey. And, in this case, the gorgeous yellow-toned cinematography and the music.
6. Amusing as it is, however, 'Brother' rarely achieves the same hilarious heights as previous Coen laughers.
7. The Coen brothers have once again outdone themselves.
8. The plot is just as goofy and hilarious as you would expect, but equally important is the spectacular bluegrass score.
9. Though the movie occasionally over-reaches for jokes, in the end it redeems itself with originality and style -- admittedly, a style that will not appeal to some mainstream tastes.
10. The Coens' usual arch deliberateness isn't quite as deliberate, and there's an appealing shagginess to some of the episodes and performances.

Here is the consensus of critics:Though not as good as Coen brothers' classics such as Blood Simple, the delightfully loopy O Brother, Where Art Thou? is still a lot of fun.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. A documentary about the lucrative rebirth of Disney's animation arm between the years 1984 and 1994, it's a warts-and-all tale of clashing egos and the eternal war between art and commerce.
2. The joy of cartoons meets the agony of office politics in this fascinating, inside- Hollywood-baseball documentary about how Disney, against all odds, revived the art of feature-length drawn animation.
3. Just extraordinary enough to make you really long for all the stuff that it's too-short running time and too-tight focus had to leave out.
4. The entire story is worked into a perfect success story package, concluding right before the studios more controversial period begins, which just goes to show, you can always have a happy ending, if you know where to stop the story.
5. The film feels too often as though it is pulling some punches so as not to enrage its corporate parents.
6. A few too many industry asides, but filled with behind-the-scenes moments.
7. Waking Sleeping Beauty will matter only to those who grew up on Walt Disney's animated films. In other words, all of us.
8. It's a not-so-great movie about some great movies.
9. It's a must-see for any Disney purist, but is also an emotive, stunningly valuable documentary in its own right.
10. Feature animation had an explosively great year in 2009, so it's startling to be reminded in Waking Sleeping Beauty that it was all but dead 20 years ago.

Here is the consensus of critics:It doesn't probe as deep -- or tell as many hard truths -- as it could have, but Don Hahn's look at Disney's rebirth offers a fascinating and surprisingly candorous glimpse into the studio's past.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Annie Hall expanded Woody Allen's canvas to incorporate real wisdom alongside the punchlines.
2. Woody Allen's classic comedy has one opening scene after another, never seeming to run short of prologues and prefaces.
3. In Annie Hall, Allen again writes, directs and stars with Diane Keaton in a remarkable recreation of a spent love affair, which is both sad and hysterically funny.
4. Many things mark Annie Hall's place in cinema history, but none of them are the reason you should see this movie. That would be the humour, poignancy and acute observation contained in each and every frame.
5. A funny film, and it's fresh even today, though it's not a knee-slapper. Rather, it's a shrug-your-shoulder-and-grin kind of movie.
6. Seeing it again for the first time in many years, I'm struck by how perfect it seems.
7. Personal as the story he is telling may be, what separates this film from Allen's own past work and most other recent comedy is its general believability.
8. Funny movie about relationships. Not for kids.
9. Woody Allen's best work.
10. A touching and hilarious love story that is Allen's most three-dimensional film to date.

Here is the consensus of critics:
Filled with poignant performances and devastating humor, Annie Hall represents a quantum leap for Woody Allen and remains an American classic.
