Q: 1. The subtlety of the interplay among the three generations of women is extraordinary.
2. Satrapi's life story is exhilarating and heartbreaking; filtering political events through her youthful experience of them creates a very different, very human picture of Iran.
3. Here is an adaptation so inspired, so simple and so frictionless in its transformation of the source material that it's almost a miracle.
4. un récit d'une remarquable sensibilité s'imposant comme une oeuvre de marque au sein d'un genre que nous n'avons pas encore l'habitude de voir sous un jour aussi politisé
5. The film's nuanced view of social issues is complemented by lovely black-and-white animation work that blends Islamic motifs into a sort of Yellow Submarine-ish world.
6. An exuberant autobiographical film and dark-horse contender for an animated feature Oscar.
7. A moving, intimate, complex, visually beautiful black-and-white story.
8. Based on her own graphic novel, Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud's film is a masterly work.
9. Marjane learns that there's no place like home. And we Americans watching realize that people have homes even in the heart of the Axis of Evil.
10. A gentle dance performed at the edge of the abyss
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Persepolis is an emotionally powerful, dramatically enthralling autobiographical gem, and the film's simple black-and-white images are effective and bold.
1. Cinematic fecal matter at its best.
2. Pretty much a complete waste of time.
3. If you love skateboarding, feel free to rent Grind, hit the mute button and fast forward through anything that doesn't involve a half-pipe.
4. Suitable entertainment for boys too young to shave.
5. First-time director Casey La Scala may have taken his fledgling film's title too literally, grinding together borrowed ingredients like a mischievous chef.
6. It's the sort of movie that makes American Wedding look... subtle by comparison. [T]his summer's notorious bomb Gigli is starting to look better and better.
7. Director La Scala can't direct his way out of this can of half-baked beans.
8. Brings Out The Worst Of A Fringe Sport That Fights For Mainstream Acceptance...this Film Fails So Completely In Almost Every Aspect.
9. Viewing the earthbound sequences in "Grind" is like watching the dialogue portions of pornos. Pity the viewers who catch this one without the benefit of a fast-forward or chapter select button.
10. You've seen and heard it before, dude.
Consensus: Mediocre skateboard stunts are padded by a half-baked plot and one-dimensional characters.
Q: 1. It's Mel Brooks at his campy best.
2. Delightfully daft.
3. Pretty classic spoof to classic horror.
4. Some of the gags don't work, but fewer than in any previous Brooks film that I've seen, and when the jokes are meant to be bad, they are riotously poor. What more can one ask of Mel Brooks?
5. Brooks's most accomplished work, combining his well-known brand of comedy with stylish direction and a uniformly excellent cast.
6. The film, spoof and worship all in the same breath, wouldn't be nearly so effective if the mocking weren't so loving...
7. Never struck me as funny, but it's well put together.
8. It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh. It's more confident and less breathless.
9. The finest comedy film I've ever seen...two dozen times.
10. Mel Brooks' best all-around work
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Made with obvious affection for the original, Young Frankenstein is a riotously silly spoof featuring a fantastic performance by Gene Wilder.
1. Simply put, Oliver & Company didn't work for me not because I'm many years past my sixth birthday but because it never scared me into forgetting that fact.
2. ...the virtual nadir of the Disney oeuvre.
3. Surely one of Disney's weakest full-length animated features, Oliver and Company features terrible, badly dated songs and some shoddy, patchwork animation with precious few dazzling moments.
4. More notable for what it isn't than what it is, it's one of the gangly middle children of the Disney animation family, not quite sure how to fit in, or even if it's valued.
5. I guess I can cut the Mouse House a little slack when it comes to paint-by-numbers mediocrities like Oliver & Company.
6. The animation is clumsy, the songs are forgettable, the attempts at late-80s relevance now come across as dated and slightly embarrassing.
7. Pure '80s drivel.
8. Cute but forgettable cartoon musical; a solid voice cast does a decent job.
9. Animated Dickens makes for a surprisingly successful translation, and in my book Billy Joel can do very little wrong.
10. Much cornball adventure ensues, punctuated by healthy helpings of singing, dancing and general merriment.
Consensus: Oliver & Company is a decidedly lesser effort in the Disney canon, with lackluster songs, stiff animation, and a thoroughly predictable plot.
Q: 1. If you loved "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," then you'll also enjoy the gorgeous "House of Flying Daggers."
2. Scenes of such beauty they stun the senses
3. I'd rather sit through a slide show of scenes from this movie than revisit 99% of the fare churned out by Hollywood
4. Made me long for the days when director Zhang Yimou made intimate movies with emotional depth.
5. A soapy love story that gallops across a snowy Autumn Hallmark card.
6. Les fans du genre ne peuvent qu'ętre ravis, les sceptiques le seront encore davantage. Un drame épique d'arts martiaux réussi n'en demeure pas moins.
7. It's a gorgeous celebration of movement for movement's sake, color for color's sake, and athleticism for athleticism's sake.
8. Zhang Yimou's follow-up to Hero oddly feels more like a warm up.
9. Visually splendid, but anyone demanding more from a film than endless battles against overwhelming odds, fought by fellows who scamper through tree tops, is in for a letdown.
10. Another stunning martial arts masterpiece from Yimou Zhang.

A:
Consensus: The visual splendor of the movie makes up for the weak story.
