United States	Bill Weber Slant	"It is the first major work of his peak era (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tony Rayns Time Out	"The main reason why Keaton is funnier and infinitely more 'modern' than Chaplin is that his movies are written, directed and shot as movies, never as excuses for comedy and/or pathos."	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"Masterpiece (...) The period detail is at once comic and - believe it - totally accurate (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
