1. An achingly beautiful and quite touching movie.
2. The whole film rings true to artful tones and positions, because Vierny sees the triumph of freedom over oppression as a kind of graceful, superlative production.
3. After a vivid start, [Potter's] movie turns into an inventory of set-pieces nearly devoid of tension, momentum, even much sense.
4. It's impossible not to succumb to its lush romanticism and irresistible fusion of contrasting musical styles.
5. What she lacks as a dramatist, Potter ... compensates for with a painter's eye and a composer's ear.
6. Ricci's strong work is ultimately just support for Potter's entrancing and emotional vision.
7. a survivor story set against a historical background writ from the movie screen
8. While we may like what we see, it's impossible to comprehend what much of it means or why we should care.
9. If [Potter] personally, in her 40s, can go to Argentina and become a tango dancer, then we can't complain about anything that happens to Suzie. Not that we'd want to.
10. A poetic look at transience, betrayal, loss and doom.
The storyline is overwrought and awkward, and the audience is distanced from the flatly drawn characters.

1. A fascinating film which touches on a captivating range of subjects.
2. What begins as a sweet documentary about yet another art prodigy becomes an absorbing look at the world of art scandals, trial by media and the parental role in the frenzied creation and perpetuation of a phenomenon.
3. My Kid Could Paint That keeps us intrigued by the questions, long after its last shot of Marla.
4. ... the storytelling is a little crude, the filming equally so, and in the end, audiences may feel that those who were prepared to pay thousands of dollars for one of Marla's paintings must be philosophical: if they love the work, the money is justified.
5. As the story shifts from fanaticism to skepticism, Bar-Lev loses sight of his original line of inquiry on the nature of modern art when he doesn't need to.
6. The longer it goes, the more frustrating it becomes, as [director] Bar Lev declines to come down on one side or the other. It makes his presence in the Olmsteads' lives serve no real purpose other than exploitation of their misery for his own good.
7. My Kid Could Paint That is a welcome return to ambiguity in the documentary, while posing perhaps the year's most intriguing mystery.
8. It's a rare glimpse into the truth about the world and the art that tries to say something about it.
9. Bar-Lev exploits Marla as much as, if not more than, any other player in his movie.
10. [A] mysterious, gripping meta-documentary, a movie that reflects upon the thorny, unpredictable process of capturing a real-life story on film at the same time it's trying to figure out what the story is.
Director Amir Bar-Lev grapples with exposing the authenticity of four-year-old Marla's paintings at the sake of burdening her publicly shamed family to transfixing results.

1. Eeryone should be offended by the time-annihilating suckage of this mirth void.
2. Sandler is so genuinely funny and likeable, and his chemistry with Aniston is so charming that it's a terrible shame he doesn't put more thought into these movies.
3. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's romantic comedy, idiotic even by their usually low big-screen standards, is stuffed with unpleasant narcissists saying and doing the stupidest, often cruelest things in hope of cheap laughs.
4. Dugan has trouble keeping all of the film's plates in the air, and he seems not to have noticed Decker is the opposite of funny.
5. Frank Capra would puke.
6. Adam Sandler is back in the game!
7. Don't even think of going with it. It's the perfect Valentine's date night movie, but only with someone you hate.
8. If we're talking about improbabilities, let's start at the movie's very premise, so wrongheaded it's like starting a game of Jenga with a clothespin.
9. A deeply repugnant and mean-spirited movie, and probably the worst film Sandler or Aniston has been a part of, which is saying something
10. Sandler and Aniston easily pass the only important test of romantic comedies: We like them and want them to like each other. If only the other cast members were as good.
Just Go With It may be slightly better than some entries in the recently dire rom-com genre, but that's far from a recommendation.

1. The role of Easy looks as tailor-made for Mr. Washington as his suit, and it shows off the full effect of this actor's movie-star dazzle.
2. Monstrously funny and truly scary, Cheadle is handed a scene-stealing role and never hesitates to do it justice.
3. Smooth and stylish mystery drama.
4. Another fine example of modern film noir.
5. Totally slick noir throwback.
6. A fluid, persuasive piece of movie-making graced with the considerable visual sophistication.
7. The question is not whether the movie will succeed, but whether its success will give TriStar a new film franchise.
8. The film also does a convincing job of re-creating Los Angeles of 1948 with both specificity and poetry.
9. The movie simmers with pungent suspense, humor and eroticism.
10. A bland, workaday detective flick.

Humor, interesting characters, and attention to details make the stylish Devil in a Blue Dress an above average noir.
