Film Critic

United States

(1924 - 2000)

The Beguiled (1971)

Publish Date: April 1, 2024
"A sensational, misogynistic nightmare"

The New York Times
Children of a Lesser God (1986)

Publish Date: October 3, 2020
"[It] is like being on a cruise to nowhere aboard a ship with decent service (...) Everything has been carefully programmed so that there are no surprises, no discoveries"

The New York Times
Swamp Thing (1982)

Publish Date: July 30, 2019
"[It] wants desperately to be funny and, from time to time, it is. However, you might wish it would trust the audience to discover the humor for itself (...) It seems afraid the audience will not get the point unassisted"

The New York Times
Farewell My Concubine (1993)

Publish Date: December 8, 1993
"One of those very rare film spectacles that deliver just about everything the ads are likely to promise (...) The movie is full of memorable scenes (...) Leslie Cheung is exceptionally good"

The New York Times
The Piano (1993)

Publish Date: November 11, 1993
"Prepare for something very special (...) The film looks deceptively small, but in character it's big and strong and complex."

The New York Times
The Remains of the Day (1993)

Publish Date: November 5, 1993
"'The Remains of the Day' is so lucid and so minutely detailed that it has its own triumphant life (...) [It] looks grand without being overdressed, it is full of feeling without being sentimental."

The New York Times
Naked (1993)

Publish Date: October 15, 1993
"A brilliant somersault of a movie that lands this fine english director in dark new cinematic territory."

The New York Times
It's All True (1993)

Publish Date: October 15, 1993
"It's a must-see (...) It's the black-and-white material from 'Four Men on a Raft' and 'My Friend Bonito' that gives the documentary its importance"

The New York Times
The Snapper (1993)

Publish Date: October 8, 1993
"As demonstrated by Mr. Frears and Roddy Doyle, who adapted his own novel for the screen, there are still wonderful comedies to be made when care is taken and attention is paid."

The New York Times
Demolition Man (1993)

Publish Date: October 8, 1993
"Typical futuristic action-melodrama."

The New York Times
Raining Stones (1993)

Publish Date: October 2, 1993
"[It] leap beyond politics, beyond genre, to a life in what might be called pure cinema."

The New York Times
Short Cuts (1993)

Publish Date: October 1, 1993
"Like all memorable Altman works, "Short Cuts" openly celebrates movie making as a communal endeavor."

The New York Times
A Tale of Ham and Passion (1992)

Publish Date: September 24, 1993
"Sex as an act of ingestion is a gloriously universal concept, which is only one of the reasons 'Jamon Jamon' seems so much less funny and outrageous than it intends to be"

The New York Times
The Red Circle (1970)

Publish Date: September 22, 1993
"[It] will be of interest primarily to those who already know Melville's work. It may baffle anyone coming upon him for the first time"

The New York Times
The Age of Innocence (1993)

Publish Date: September 17, 1993
"Scorsese has made a big, intelligent movie that functions as if it were a window on a world he had just discovered"

The New York Times
The Beautiful Troublemaker (1991)

Publish Date: September 17, 1993
"The academically romantic nonsense preached by 'La Belle Noiseuse' (...) is balanced by the on-screen evidence of another requirement: hard work over long hours, plus a certain amount of thought"

The New York Times
Poetic Justice (1993)

Publish Date: July 23, 1993
"It has the air of something awkwardly fabricated to reach an inspirational goal."

The New York Times
Free Willy (1993)

Publish Date: July 16, 1993
"[The creators] do their work with efficient simplicity"

The New York Times
In the Line of Fire (1993)

Publish Date: July 9, 1993
"Although the film moves at a dizzy pace (...) there are no false moves (...) [It] is one of the few Hollywood suspense melodramas that don't seem to ignore the realities of the world outside. It uses them"

The New York Times
Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

Publish Date: June 25, 1993
"Not since "Love Story" has there been a movie that so shrewdly and predictably manipulated the emotions for such entertaining effect."
