Q: 1. Hawke and Delpy keep the tone not only afloat but mesmerizing. So natural are their performances that it seems impossible not to believe they truly are soulmates who are locked in a doomed, all-too-short affair.
2. Inspired by Godard's lyrical film-essays, Linklater revisits his unreleased debut (also set on a train), while paying tribute to Rohmer's cerebral moral fables. Though narrower in scope, this film is more mature and generous than previous efforts.
3. Agreeably alluring.
4. Й como testemunhar duas pessoas se apaixonando uma pela outra em tempo real: algo simultaneamente mбgico, comovente e de partir o coraзгo.
5. It's the best pick up movie ever.
6. While it's a bit awkward and self-indulgent, it also creates two extremely vivid characters and one of cinema's more believable romances.
7. A thought-provoking, likable, entertaining, beautiful, and well-acted piece of romance...
8. Acting tour de force that feels exceptionally real
9. the film asks us to consider the very nature and purpose of our existence in a fragmentary, superficial and transient universe.
10. Linklater hasn't just crafted a detached portrait of a unique couple: he's painting a masterful examination of human nature, of that relationship we all want, but too often sadly see slip away.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Thought-provoking and beautifully filmed, Before Sunrise is an intelligent, unabashedly romantic look at modern love, led by marvelously natural performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
1. Amy Berg's West of Memphis does bring new information to light, which is why this somewhat procedural feature is so important.
2. In all, the director has assembled a powerful film, but the celebrity component feels rather unnecessary.
3. A powerful, touching and very infuriating documentary, although Berlinger and Sinofsky got there first and did it best
4. It tells the story of a terrible crime compounded by a grave injustice that's been remedied, but only in part, so it's impossible to have a single or simple response to the movie.
5. Somewhere along this narrative's mammoth timeline, examining the construction of modern social heroes became more important than the memories of three little boys.
6. Together with the rich material comprising interviews with family and friends, the footage shot in the various court rooms and at the crime scene is riveting
7. The most intense, nail-bitingly suspenseful thriller franchise "from the dark side" these days is not the product of a screenwriter's imagination.
8. The most intriguing and worthy aspect of this accomplished documentary is that it never lets anyone forget the biggest tragedy of the many threaded through this story - the helpless children who never deserved the brutal fate handed to them.
9. What sets this film apart from previous efforts to document the story is that Jackson and Walsh financed a private investigative team with legal and forensic experts who re-examined old evidence, conducted new interviews and found new witnesses.
10. A frankly extraordinary document about the three innocent children who were murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas and the three innocent teenagers who spent 18 years in prison for the crime.
Consensus: Both a sobering look at a true crime story and a scathing indictment of the American justice system, West of Memphis is a real-life horror story told with fury and compassion.
Q: 1. Kelly, as he did in Donnie Darko, avoids obvious scare techniques. Instead, he makes the bizarre, the surreal, and the frightening emerge from normal reality.
2. An interesting subtext occurs with this particular "box." More than just rude slang for a woman's genitalia, the title points to the fact that in this story, it's only the ladies who misbehave. Issues, Mr. Kelly?
3. Riffing on a Twilight Zone-themed morality tale, writer/director Richard Kelly ("Donnie Darko") sets the table for a three-course meal of supernatural events but serves up an anemic narrative entree instead.
4. Kelly has talent, but for his next movie, he might try coming down to earth and forgetting about the people who control the lightning.
5. Impales itself on the smug awareness of how stuffed full of extraordinarily twisty ideas it is, without bothering to make sure that those ideas add up to anything halfway worthwhile.
6. As fresh and imaginative as a well made "Twilight Zone" episode.
7. [T]he ambition of the movie makes it sort of intriguing, too, even if it fails -- spectacularly -- in the end...
8. Not without interest, The Box opens to a collection of scenes that work and scenes that don't.
9. I think Kelly is a very inventive writer and I think he is his own worst enemy behind the camera.
10. I think that Richard Kelly, from one film to the next, has gone in some very interesting and sometimes puzzling directions.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Imaginative but often preposterous, The Box features some thrills but largely feels too piecemeal.
1. By the end, you'll wonder why all films aren't made this way.
2. A production that is as sexually charged as it is beautifully designed.
3. Maddin's Dracula takes us fantastically through gothic places that Bram Stoker failed to report in a production that is as sexually charged as it is beautifully designed.
4. Marries B&W silent horror-movie style with beautifully eerie ballet in a succulently cinematic, lustfully melodramatic adaptation that is at once wholly unique and uncommonly faithful to Bram Stoker's classic novel.
5. ... the most startlingly original and creative reading of the novel ever put to film.
6. Though it sounds like an offbeat idea even for horror fans, the tech work is so well done that it could disarm unwary buffs attracted by the campy title.
7. An elaborate, self-conscious but arresting take on the Dracula myth.
8. A fevered, sexy take on the material, it plays up the desires of the female players, the repression of the men and Dracula's status as all-purpose object of dread and desire.
9. Anybody whoâ(TM)s willing to bring their own ideas about sex, love, and bloodletting to the film will likely find themselves sucked into Maddinâ(TM)s growing cult.
10. It's a throwback to the days when horror movies often had a certain visual grandeur. And while one may miss a modern frisson or two, there's still a great deal of dreadful beauty to relish.
Consensus: Guy Maddin's film is a richly sensuous and dreamy interpretation of Dracula that reinvigorates the genre.
Q: 1. It's one of those marginal pictures you're not unhappy to have seen, but can't quite recommend.
2. Waterworld isn't Fishtar, but Kevin Costner's pricey, post-apocalyptic sloshbuckler isn't a seafaring classic either.
3. Just another special effects-laden, digitally enhanced, B-movie, adventure thriller.
4. Costner and Hopper give good characterizations. The entire movie, unfortunately, doesn't quite deliver the punch it ought to.
5. If the story seems a little waterlogged, it's still big, loud, and fun to watch.
6. Waterworld is a near-model summer fantasy: two hours and 21 minutes of loud, expansive fun.
7. Waterworld is the movie that didn't happen. Which is a roundabout way of saying that the infamous Universal film is very good, damn good -- not great, mind you, but rousing and continually entertaining.
8. Has the makings of a cult movie.
9. Although the show grew on me, it is too ridiculous for me to recommend it.
10. In the tradition of the old Westerns and Mel Gibson's Road Warrior flicks, this film provides good escapist fun.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Though it suffered from toxic buzz at the time of its release, Waterworld is ultimately an ambitious misfire: an extravagant sci-fi flick with some decent moments and a lot of silly ones.
