Dakota Fanning

Skillfully paints a portrait of a reclusive and mysterious man by embracing his mystery and primarily letting [Darger], through his work, speak for himself.

Hide and Seek is trashy, but there's no fun to be had in its ugly child-endangerment psychoses....The hidden-in-plain-sight "secret": another crappy movie.

Has all the mechanized ingenuity of one of those dazzling Tripods, but the bigger they are....it's the gutless ending that renders War of the Worlds most insulting.

Triumphant coming-of-age drama (complete with horses!) [aimed] at little girls and their captive-audience fathers.

Competence and a core faithfulness are enough to communicate the simple charms of E.B. White's perennial children's novel.

A stop-motion-animation classic-to-be...both in concept and execution, Coraline is wildly creative stuff.

Technically qualifies as a true-crime tale, and seems to exist mostly out of a sense of marketable prurience: hallmarks of Lifetime’s infamous cable movies.

Content finally joined by the movie gods to form—for at last, the moving-picture magpie has lighted on Hollywood as his setting and, in no small part, his subject.
