Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
While watching Robert Benton's sublime adaptation of Richard Russo's novel, it's hard to avoid the realization that movies like this have become an endangered species.
– Jeff Shannon,

fresh:
Nobody's Fool is funny at times and as cuddly as an old teddy bear. But this movie is being taken far too seriously in some circles.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Moviegoing holds few pleasures greater than watching an established star completely inhabit a role that exactly suits his personality and abilities. And seeing Paul Newman in Nobody's Fool defines that pleasure.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
We love to see our movie gods play flawed souls, especially a god with a face that looks like one on a Roman coin.
– Gene Siskel,
Chicago Tribune,

fresh:
The movie is both a star vehicle and an ensemble piece; the other actors revolve around Newman yet give off more than just his reflected light.
