Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Genuine empathy and inquisitive humanity cast a spiritual cinematic spell.
2. Absolutely captivating... stimulating even though it really does seem like it ought to be sedative.
3. This is a small film. It is also a great one. "Great" is a word I don't use often.
4. Mija, at the center, is perhaps determined to not fill her remaining memories with despair, and to avoid adding to the sum of the world's misery. Maybe it's as simple as that.
5. About guilt and responsibility, about loss, about the terrible things human beings do, and the moments of serenity and spiritual succor to be gleaned from the natural world.
6. Now is the time to bestow on yourself the gift of one of the most, well, poetic films of 2010. And by "poetic," we mean rich with soulful pauses that are at once visual and aural and deeply observant of the dance of routine and quiet surprise.
7. Lee Chang-dong's perceptive drama about a woman facing the onset of Alzheimer's as well as a torrid family crisis is keenly acted but meandering.
8. Sometimes you don't fully appreciate what a movie's doing to your heart until it's been shattered.
9. Completely engrossing.
10. A captivating film, as observant and nuanced as a sonnet.

Here is the consensus of critics:Poetry is an absorbing, poignant drama because it offers no easy answers to its complex central conflict.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. A man who discovers the beauty of a woman his own age? Only Hollywood - birthplace of the Trophy Wife - could try to pass this notion off as something clever and original.
2. There's a lot of pleasure in watching seasoned pros like Nicholson and Keaton do their pas de deux of late-blooming romance.
3. Something's Gotta Give is trite and overly cloying for its own good to the point that the pretentiousness factor is as jumpy as Nicholson's devilish facial expressions
4. If you've seen the previews, you've already watched the best parts of 'Something's Gotta Give.'
5. It’s about charismatic stars doing what they do best.
6. A great example of what witty and stylish romantic comedy used to be.
7. Something's Gotta Give is exactly the kind of 'adult' dreck that you'd expect to see on Broadway.
8. In a rare -- if not entirely convincing -- bow to older audiences, Something's Gotta Give teams Nicholson with Diane Keaton in a romantic comedy that's funnier than it is trenchant.
9. The film Meyers has fashioned is generally quite amusing, with a brilliant cast.
10. Meyers's movie is too well done to call it anything but good entertainment.

Here is the consensus of critics:Though it occasionally stumbles into sitcom territory, Something's Gotta Give is mostly a smart, funny romantic comedy, with sharp performances from Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, and Keanu Reeves.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Two absolutely riveting performances and a smart reversal of the usual male-female stalker scenario leave behind a nasty taste and an unforgettable cinema experience.
2. Because the good things in the movie -- including the performances -- are so very good, it's a shame that the film's potential for greatness was so blatantly compromised.
3. Irony like this doesn't make its way into many movies these days
4. Overpraised: yes, but still worthy of a decent amount of it.
5. Fatal Attraction has an inescapable pull to it; it's suffocatingly exciting.
6. Very intense.
7. Close should take pride in her performance. She should also expect a depressing avalanche of scripts requiring a she-wacko.
8. While billed as a romance and a thriller, the film strictly qualifies as neither, appealing to our prurience, guilt, hatred, and dread.
9. An extremely well-directed and acted (particularly by Glenn Close as the career woman) thriller that also functions as cautionary tale about sex in the swinging 1970s and parable of AIDS in the 1980s.
10. A predictable dog's dinner of Pavlovian thriller clichés, this will appeal strongly to those who think women should be kept on a short lead.

Here is the consensus of critics:A potboiler in the finest sense, Fatal Attraction is a sultry, juicy thriller that's hard to look away from once it gets going.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. The Covenant has excellent special effects (spiders and specters, oh my!), but it is strikingly lacking in suspense.
2. [An] eardrum-punishing, uninspired composite of X-Men and the Harry Potter series ...
3. doesn't move in any direction and instead wanders without much aim at all
4. Surely nothing Hollywood did in its darkest, most debauched hour could possibly justify the penance we're paying that allows Renny Harlin to continue directing movies.
5. [A] muddled and most unmagical offering.
6. With just a little more effort, The Covenant could have been a classic example of a movie so bad that it's actually good. Sadly, it doesn't even achieve that.
7. The idiocy and sheer laziness of the whole concept ought to be the sort of thing director Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea) could make into glorious cinematic cheese...but he's hamstrung
8. There is not a scary scene in the whole movie.
9. With its barely-distinguishable teen-model cast and earnestness, it comes off like an overlong episode of a WB series that never got off the ground.
10. I would not encourage you to waste your money on this one.

Here is the consensus of critics:
The Covenant plays out like a teen soap opera, full of pretty faces, wooden acting, laughable dialogue, and little suspense.
