PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"The brothers absorb the unfairly unsung Portis into their DNA, like they did with Cormac McCarthy in "No Country for Old Men." (...) Great movie (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
"Well-made and acted Coen Brothers remake lacks the humor and resonance that might have made it memorable" (Todd McCarthy: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"A comic-serious tale about some nasty, brutish times. (...) Like Charles Laughton’s “Night of the Hunter,” which the Coens quote both musically and visually, “True Grit” is a parable about good and evil" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"True Grit isn't as momentous an event as you might hope, but once you adjust to its deliberate rhythms (it starts slowly), it's a charming Western comedy" (David Edelstein: New York Magazine) ----------------------------------------
