Little Big Man (1970) 91% “Little Big Man. an action-packed, wide-screen, family entertainment, is more... well, damn it, human than any movie of comparable eight-figure size. Never mind the horse-filled vistas. That's why it provides such a thumping good time.” – Esquire Magazine Nov 10, 2023 Full Review The Graduate (1967) 87% “The Graduate engages its audience almost exclusively at the level of events until the grandly satisfying conclusion, when its problems (Benjamin's problems) seem to arrive at a happy solution.” – The New Yorker Jun 23, 2023 Full Review John and Mary (1969) 38% “Perhaps this is smashing stuff for a Second City satire, but Peter Yates (the director) has ignored its satirical promise.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) 82% “Bob & Carol satirizes a culture in which the tyranny of social fashion has grown so rampant that the self is altogether lost. Rediscovering the self becomes a fulltime, futile avocation.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Futz (1969) “It dismantles old notions of construction, not like a ball-and-crane wrecking operation, but with logic and discipline, like an expert crew breaking down a set of two-dimensional flats.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Alice's Restaurant (1969) 63% “At one end, I suppose, to judge Alice's a brilliantly inventive auteur vision: personal, topical, hilarious, deeply pessimistic... At the other, to judge Alice's a dog; a messy porridge. In the middle: reservations, fourteen-point check-list ratings.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Coming Apart (1969) 50% “The performers appear to believe that they are participating in something sexy, as if their destructiveness were itself arousing, or as if they could interrupt it and get on with the sexy part, without its sickness seeping over in time.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Easy Rider (1969) 84% “Easy Rider's honesty, its beautiful, honest simplemindedness, could make it one of the surprise hits of the year.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review King, Murray (1969) “It offers a far more accurate and painful tableau vivant of life in this country than we are accustomed to from movies, startling us into fresh consideration of what Ivan called the eternal questions.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Goodbye, Columbus (1969) 92% “Does it seem picayune to require that moves make sense on their own terms?” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Changes (1969) “Color cinematography that captures beauty so facilely and uses it so cheaply is disgusting, in a way.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Salesman (1969) 100% “Salesman is an important kind of film experience; it is also, you've gathered by now, a profoundly depressing one.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review Midnight Cowboy (1969) 89% “Joe's past has been an emotional vacuum, lacking belief, moral training, friends, adult models of identification: all the components that feed personality... You can't use techniques suggestive of human complexity to suggest the lack of it.” – Esquire Magazine Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Zabriskie Point (1970) 64% “You can take the position that the idea was preposterous to start with, or terrific and muddied up horrendously -- but the picture is a knockout, filled with passages that leave you open-mouthed with delight.” – Esquire Magazine Jan 3, 2020 Full Review
