Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A New Hollywood movie suffused in Old Hollywood values.
– J. Hoberman,
Village Voice,

fresh:
It's not a classic, in the sense of being perfectly formed. But the craft work is one of a kind.
– Stephen Garrett,

Surprisingly effective.

fresh:
Newman starts tunneling under the material, coming up with all sorts of things we didn't quite expect, and along the way he proves himself as a director of sympathy and a sort of lyrical restraint.
