The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
88%
“[The Last of the Mohicans] shouldn't be approached as a great adaptation of an American classic. And it's certainly no Black Robe. But as classy, first-rate escapism, there's much here to hold the eye and spark the imagination.” –

“Lacking the resources of a T2, Rodriguez has done something that's fairly heretical in Hollywood these days: He has subbed imagination humor and a lot of old-fashion camera trickery.” –

“At over two hours, this salute to Dame Agatha feels overlong, padded ... The denouement isn't reached so much as laboriously coughed up, like a fur-ball.” –

“Think Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' crossed with Spielberg's 'Saving Private Ryan,' and you'll be in the grim yet somehow exhilarating vicinity of this inevitable Best Picture Oscar contender.” –

“This overlong, over-the-top continuation sniffs and scratches so desperately to establish its pedigree it could be a mutt cousin of Spielberg's original blockbuster. You feel less like criticizing the thing than putting it down ...” –

“... an assured debut that folds in Shirley Jackson, Rosemary Woodhouse and, for its immersive creepiness, 'Seance on a Wet Afternoon' ... Collette fearlessly explores Annie's primal fears, at times contorting her face into hideous mask” –

“... the extreme long shots say it all: we are completely alone, mere specs on an endless expanse of shimmering gray ... best of its kind since J.C. Chandor's 'All Is Lost' ... required viewing for arm-chairs adventurers who live vicariously.” –

“... standard PBS Masterpiece fare ... self-consciously arty and as studied as a John Constable pastoral come to life ... has small-town hypocrites in its sights but is too polite to pull the trigger” –

“Who doesn't remember where he was when Leigh shed black bra and slip, unwrapped a bar of complimentary Bates Motel soap, and washed away her sins? ... Unfortunately doc's scholarship feels sketchy, arbitrary.” –

“One of the year's true finds, a spare but amiable slice-of-lifer about an argumentative old coot and his equally eccentric friends ... Stanton, never better, deserves a posthumous Oscar nod.” –

“Marketed as a supernatural thriller, Aronofsky's latest is a black comedy about what it means to play muse to creep artist ... Doesn't attain MOAB stature but still the most indulgent film from a major director in a good while” –
