Critic consensus:The blood pours freely in Argento's classic Suspiria, a giallo horror as grandiose and glossy as it is gory.

Numbered reviews:1. Throughout this nerve-wracking journey, Argento's sly gift is to strike when you least expect it.
2. As an appetizer to the thoroughly bizarre world of Italian horror, Suspiria is the perfect antipasto.
3. The beauty of this film is hypnotic. It draws the viewer in, casting a spell of its own. It is utterly bewitching.
4. Argento's skilful use of unsettling, intense colour and stunning set designs adequately obscure the film's numerous structural flaws.
5. One of the most important horror films ever made
6. A strange combination of the art house and the slaughterhouse, it may be too violent for the typical cineaste and too contrived for the typical gore-hound. Yet somehow Argento impressively straddles both worlds, offering a unique vision ...
7. an extravagantly stylised Danse Macabre... a surreally demented fairytale, and one of very few films that occupies the no-man's-land between charnel house and arthouse.
8. An eye-popping maelstrom of visual excess.
9. A direусo de arte e fotografia impecрveis, associadas Я angustiante trilha e Я direусo segura de Argento, compensam as mрs atuaушes e o roteirofraco, criando uma experiЖncia intensa e incЗmoda.
10. A movie that makes sense only to the eye (and even then . . .).


Critic consensus:Passionate ideologues may find it compelling, but most filmgoers will find this low-budget adaptation of the Ayn Rand bestseller decidedly lacking.

Numbered reviews:1. Atlas Shrugged. I arched eyebrow, scrunched forehead, yawned.
2. [A] DIY megaproduction... whose ambition vastly exceeds its technical command.
3. Ayn Rand's monumental 1,168-page, 1957 novel gets the low-budget, no-talent treatment and sits there flapping on screen like a bludgeoned seal.
4. The first in a proposed trilogy, "Atlas Shrugged: Part 1" is nearly as stilted, didactic and simplistic as Rand's free-market fable.
5. Let's say you know the novel, you agree with Ayn Rand, you're an objectivist or a libertarian, and you've been waiting eagerly for this movie. Man, are you going to get a letdown.
6. This movie is crushingly ordinary in every way, which with Rand I wouldn't have thought possible.
7. Not all books should be made into movies, and this is one of them.
8. The shame of "Atlas Shrugged: Part I," irrespective of politics and prose, is that a work so long-discussed has been so blatantly bastardized in the name of a quick buck.
9. Part one of a trilogy that may never see completion, this hasty, low-budget adaptation would have Ayn Rand spinning in her grave.
10. Flubbed, under-produced representation of the first third of Ayn Rand's still controversial novel bodes ill for parts two and three.


Critic consensus:War Witch is a mature, intense drama that embraces the bruatlity of its subject and invites the audience to sympathize with its protagonist's nightmarish circumstances.

Numbered reviews:
1. An astonishing drama set in Africa that vividly depicts the courage and resiliency of a 12-year-old girl whose spiritual gifts enable her to survive.
2. Infused with Terrence Malick spices, War Witch aims for ambiance as a way to approach its searing images of war, keeping the viewer unnerved instead of outraged when inspecting the troubles of Africa.
3. 21st Century Africa presented as a godforsaken wasteland conjuring up primitive images reminiscent of the ghoulish dystopia chronicled by Conrad in Heart of Darkness.
4. With intelligence and deceptive simplicity, Nguyen injects the discombobulating impact of grief, conflict and PTSD (with the added effects of magic milk), to delve deeper than a simple observed account of a soldier's bid for freedom.
5. This harrowing film refuses to let up long enough to let you catch your breath.
6. Rachel Mwanza's performance is extraordinary and shows great depth for such a young actress.
7. Being a child soldier is tough to imagine, but Canadian writer-director Kim Nguyen takes on the challenge without many qualms.
8. It may be hard for a viewer to accept some of the paranormal goings-on in War Witch -- the ghosts, the superstitions, the otherworldly powers -- but they're nothing compared to the realities that Komona has to endure.
9. A powerful and unforgettable emotional viewing experience.
10. War Witch doesn't sermonize or propose a solution to its larger problems. It's a portrait of a life. It just so happens that said life is playing out in a living hell.
