3.5/4
“Rasoulof gets terrific performances from all of his cast, but particularly noteworthy is Sohelia Golestani's work as Najmeh, which captures the woman's subtle, gradual transition from defender of her husband to an ally of her daughters.” –

The Big Lebowski (1998)

“Credit the Coens and Bridges, one of our best actors, that all obvious Cheech-and-Chongness is blithely skirted and a certain daffy grace achieved. Even if "Lebowski" is finally a minor movie, Bridges is, without question, a major Dude. ” –

“Somewhere between De Chirico and Disney, the film's Forum and Colosseum are foreshortened, overstuffed, overstylized, sternly insubstantial; it's hard to be impressed with impossible vistas that are so clearly cartoonish.” –

4/4
“To say that the 1984 movie doesn’t seem at all dated is almost an understatement. I can’t think of any 2022 film that radiates so much joy in the act of filmmaking, or that can serve as such an electrifying inspiration to younger artists.” –
