Supervixens (1975) 49% “Supervixens represents another talent lost to pop attitudinizing. ” – Village Voice Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Withnail and I (1987) 83% “I am not sure that I like this unkempt evocation of druggy London town near the of the swinging '60s... But like many current movies I don't particularly like, Withnail and I manages to make me believe in it implicitly.” – Village Voice Apr 4, 2025 Full Review At Long Last Love (1975) 23% “What most disturbs me about At Long Last Love is not so much the clumsiness of its leading lady as the superciliousness the director displays towards the genre.” – Village Voice Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tommy (1975) 71% “Tommy is a profoundly unifying rock experience without malice or smugness.” – Village Voice Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Yakuza (1974) 47% “The Yakuza is slowed down considerably by Pollack's solemnly eclectic direction and the endlessly expository dialogue which tends to make the whole exercise, bloody as it is, more explanatory than exclamatory.” – Village Voice Mar 3, 2025 Full Review The Great Waldo Pepper (1975) 61% “Hill has tried to jam too much into one picture.” – Village Voice Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Barry Lyndon (1975) 78% “Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon is clearly the most expensive meditation on melancholy ever financed by a Hollywood studio. From the opening strains of Georg Friedrich Handel's Sarabande... every frame in the film is a fresco of sadness.” – Village Voice Feb 25, 2025 Full Review The Conversation (1974) 93% “Coppola never lets us in on any of the tactical details. Obviously, he opts for surprise over suspense, but even his surprises are muffled by his solemn gaze.” – Village Voice Sep 24, 2024 Full Review The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings (1976) 87% “The acting in Bingo Long attains the highest level of charm and subtlety. Billy Dee Williams is particularly skillful as Bingo Long, a part that could have easily fizzled in flamboyance.” – Village Voice Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Dog Day Afternoon (1975) 96% “On the whole, "Dog Day Afternoon" is not a bad job of moviemaking. It should be seen, but not swallowed whole.” – Village Voice Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Lady Sings the Blues (1972) 71% “Apart from the extraordinarily camera-wise charisma of Diana Ross, Lady Sings the Blues is graced by a mumbly-magical performances by Ricahrd Pryor as Piano Man... and by the ultra leading man stability of Billy Dee Williams.” – Village Voice Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 90% “Simply a thoughtless exercise in instant self-gratification. Actually, I felt sorry for this muddled movie with its childlike vulnerability.” – Village Voice Apr 3, 2024 Full Review Chinatown (1974) 98% “There was a time in the middle of the movie when I felt that it was lagging behind my expectations. But the ending is as stunning as any I have seen since Day of Wrath.” – Village Voice Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% “Between them, De Niro and Scorsese and their associates end up with a breathtakingly new dimension of memory and regret. If only I could feel the slightest moral resonance as well -- but I can't, and that makes all the difference.” – Village Voice Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Taxi Driver (1976) 89% “I didn't mind the sordidness, the violence, or the mock-ironic ending. What I did mind about the film was its life-denying spirit, its complete lack of curiosity about the possibilities of people. ” – Village Voice Oct 6, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist (1973) 78% “The Exorcist succeeds on one level as an effectively excruciating entertainment, but on another, deeper level it is a thoroughly evil film. ” – Village Voice Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Night Games (1966) 25% “Miss Zetterling's second feature film is even more ponderous and pretentious than her first.” – Village Voice Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Phantom of the Paradise (1974) 82% “De Palma has mixed too many of his styles in Phantom of the Paradise, but this is still a movie to be seen and heard. ” – Village Voice Jun 27, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (1985) 73% 3/4 “The Color Purple is the most lavishly produced and lovingly lyrical, virtually all-black entertainment ever produced by an American moviemaker.” – Video Review May 31, 2023 Full Review The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) 58% 3/4 “This very frothy farce is more pointedly political -- refreshingly so -- than almost any "serious" movie in recent memory. ” – Video Review Mar 2, 2023 Full Review The Lady Eve (1941) 99% “Henry Fonda [is] seldom associated with unrestrained merriment. Fortunately, Preston Sturges films qualify as special situations. Fonda, particularly, emerges in The Lady Eve as the funniest deadpan comedian since Buster Keaton. ” – Village Voice Dec 28, 2022 Full Review Groundhog Day (1993) 94% “Groundhog Day generates enough warmth, wit, humor, sexual chemistry, and spiritual resonance to light up a whole season of Valentine's Days.” – Observer Dec 7, 2022 Full Review The Deer Hunter (1978) 86% “Far from achieving Tolstoyan heights, however, Cimino fails even to attain a Scorsesian or Coppolian level. The structure of the film is so rickety, and the details so incongruous, that whatever feelings were intended finally peter out. ” – Village Voice Aug 30, 2022 Full Review The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989) 86% “A highly controversial and distinctly original work of cinematic art fashioned by writer-director Greenaway.” – Observer Aug 12, 2022 Full Review The Sting (1973) 93% “Pure popcorn like this is hardly worthy of serious analysis... Fortunately, the stars have not lost their charm and authority. ” – Village Voice Aug 8, 2022 Full Review
