Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even in this truncated form it's amazing and memorable.
– Pauline Kael,
New Yorker,
5 Jan 2015
fresh:
Although reams have been written about the mutilation of Orson Welles' second feature, what remains of it is nevertheless a major accomplishment.
– Kevin Thomas,

rotten:
While telling this story, haltingly and clumsily, the movie runs from burdensome through heavy and dull to bad. It stutters and stumbles as Welles submerges Tarkington's story in a mess of radio and stage technique.
– Manny Farber,
The New Republic,
30 Aug 2012
rotten:
Orson Welles devotes 9,000 feet of film to a spoiled brat who grows up as a spoiled, spiteful young man. This film hasn't a single moment of contrast; it piles on and on a tale of woe, but without once striking at least a true chord of sentimentality.

The emotional sense of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is so palpable you can taste it.
