[movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Va Savoir (2001)      "Yet another long, meandering, talky French film may not be your first choice for escapist entertainment. But there's some terrific stuff in this one." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2/5      Vacancy (2007)      "Starts well but never goes anywhere with its grisly set-up." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Valentin (2004)      "A very clever screenplay that somehow manages to be both hilariously funny and surprisingly poignant at the same time." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Valiant (2005)      "A disarmingly enjoyable movie with a lively cast of characters and an action-packed plot based (very roughly!) on real-life events" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Valkyrie (2008)      "Another astonishing true story gets the Hollywood treatment and ends up being rather flattened in the process" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Van Helsing (2004)      "There's only one problem with this thunderously entertaining action romp: The budget is two times too big!" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Vanilla Sky (2001)      "As the story gets darker and heavier, the film really grabs hold in a powerful way, as long as we can let ourselves be carried along until the complex conclusion." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Vanity Fair (2004)      "Even though the central stories are compelling, dividing the film between them means we never have anyone to grab hold of." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Vantage Point (2008)      "There's an interesting idea here, showing a major political event from various perspectives until we finally get to the real story. The problem is that the real story is rather contrived." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Vengeance Is Mine (1979)      "Gripping and haunting, it's a strikingly timeless film." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Venus (2006)      "Witty dialog and a strong story keep it thoroughly entertaining, as do the sparky performances." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       5/5      Vera Drake (2004)      "Mike Leigh is still making films that bristle with honesty and life, fearlessly tackling issues that other filmmakers won't touch." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Veronica Guerin (2003)      "Blanchett holds the film together gorgeously.... Because of this, you can almost forgive Schumacher for badly over-egging the story." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      Vertical Limit (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2/5      Very Annie Mary (2001)      "Each person and event is so peculiar that as it goes on the warm humour begins to grate on our nerves." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      A Very British Gangster (2008)      "It's easy to forget this is a documentary. The central character wouldn't seem out of place in almost any British crime drama--he'd actually liven most of them up." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      A Very Long Engagement (2004)      "[Jeunet's] choppy, cheeky filmmaking style simply isn't suited to this remarkable wartime tale about the tenacity of love." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Vexille (2007)      "A flood of visual inventiveness keeps us watching this futuristic animated action thriller ... even if it feels a bit derivative and thin." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)      "Even with his weaker movies, Woody Allen is more astute than about 80 percent of filmmakers out there." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      Villa Des Roses (2002)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      The Village (2004)      "A powerful tale of isolationism, a desire for innocence and hope, and a fear of the unknown." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2/5      Vinyan (2008)      "A vivid example of style over substance, this textured film creates an overwhelming sense of emotion and dread, but never manages to find a point to it all. It merely gives into the grisliness, leaving us shaken and unstirred." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      The Virgin Suicides (1999)      "An extremely sure-handed filmmaking debut from Coppola, daughter of Francis. Her script alone is a marvel of subtlety and intelligence." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      The Visitor (2008)      "Cuts across one of the West's most contentious political issues without ever getting political. And it features a terrific lead performance from Jenkins." [movie review]      Film Threat       3.5/5      Viva (2008)      "This film is such an outrageously colourful homage to 1970s sexploitation cinema that it's impossible not to enjoy, even with the over-the-top performances and rambling narrative." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Volver (2006)      "A deeply resonant, thought-provoking story about how making sense of the past can help clarify our present and future." [movie review]      FilmFocus
