Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The movie's edges are filled with small, perfect character performances.

fresh:
Marvellous, grimly downbeat study of desperate lives and the escape routes people construct for themselves, stunningly shot by Conrad Hall.

The movie is crafty work and very much a show. In one way or another, right down to the percussively abrupt open ending, it's all about being hammered.

fresh:
A terse, sharp, downbeat but compassionate look at the underside of smalltown American life in the west.

So you say to yourself, this Fat City is pretty damn realistic, even if you know in your heart that "realistic" and Hollywood should not be printed on the same page-otherwise paper ignites. Still, you're marveling at it.
