Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York (1975) 36% “Every time Furie's relentlessly dreary movie gets anywhere near a laugh, it immediately swerves and plunges into bathos.” – Village Voice Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Capone (1975) 28% “The primary reason for seeing Capone... is Ben Gazzara's interpretation of the gangster... he plays Capone like an animal afflicted with hypertension.” – Village Voice Apr 8, 2025 Full Review One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) 93% “As for Nicholson, he is nothing short of miraculous. ” – Village Voice Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% “It is a thriller, according to the classic distinction, of surprise rather than suspense. You feel like a rat, being given shock treatment, who has not yet figured out what to do to call off the buzzers.” – Village Voice Jul 2, 2024 Full Review To Sleep With Anger (1990) 89% 3/4 “An unusual and richly rewarding viewing experience.” – Video Review Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 92% “"Alice" has been put together in so obvious an attempt to answer the womanless or woman-hating films of today, that I only wish I could have liked it more than I do. ” – Village Voice Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Play It as It Lays (1972) 60% “The movie shares the book's anesthetized quality, but without the acute sensory awareness of a person going under, and with only a little of its hard, brittle humor.” – Village Voice Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Macbeth (1971) 78% “Polanski sacrifices the reverberation of anticipation and memory for the chills of immediate moment. But he gains in momentum, so that we never have the sense of coming to a halt at the Great Soliloquies, like a tourist bus before the monuments of a city.” – Village Voice Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Crossing Delancey (1988) 82% “The implausible and the irresistible come joyfully together.” – Vogue May 16, 2023 Full Review Funny Lady (1975) 51% “When the show hits the road, first in its bloated "draft" form, with sketches that would make the great Ziegfield groan, then in its final, Fanny-polished version, it literally falls to, or into, pieces.” – Village Voice Feb 10, 2023 Full Review A Passage to India (1984) 77% 3/4 “David Lean's adaptation of E.M. For- ster's great Anglo-Indian novel is, for a great deal of its 2 1/2-hours running time, an exceptionally fine and civilized movie, almost a great one.” – Video Review Jan 19, 2023 Full Review Platoon (1986) 89% “Platoon makes us understand in the most savagely dramatic terms that this was a war in which we fought not the enemy, but ourselves, both in 'Nam and at home.” – Vogue Aug 19, 2022 Full Review A Summer Story (1988) 80% 3/4 “This story of a tragic betrayal of a loving heart rolls with the inexorable force of a runaway railway train as it unfurls one unforgettable image after another of unrequited commitment.” – Video Review Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Nadine (1987) 55% 3/4 “Writer-director Benton’s feeling for the endless surprises of domestic intimacy (Kramer vs. Kramer) and the built-in resilience of Southern communal life (Places in the Heart) come together in this lighthearted mock-thriller.” – Video Review Aug 5, 2022 Full Review No Way Out (1987) 92% 4/4 “This stunning thriller about a murder and an elaborate cover-up in present-day Washington power circles was one of the best movies of 1987 and, to my mind, an all-time classic.” – Video Review Aug 5, 2022 Full Review The Bostonians (1984) 81% 3/4 “Ivory, working in concert with his longtime producer-partner Ismael Merchant and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, possesses an abundance of those civilized virtues we could use more of in everyday life but that are often a handicap in making movies.” – Video Review Aug 5, 2022 Full Review The Parallax View (1974) 87% “The Parallax View is a movie of splendid bits and pieces disappointingly strung together.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Don't Look Now (1973) 93% “It is a film in which everything seems to have been sacraficed for pictorial effect.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2022 Full Review The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 92% “Elaine May's second feature is a funny and sometimes side-splitting whose whole never approaches the success of its best moments in which the two levels of romantic fantasy and satire are reconciled.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2022 Full Review A New Leaf (1971) 94% “The picture as it now stands is very funny indeed, but more charming than uproarious, and quite surprisingly romantic.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2022 Full Review A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969) 95% “The joys are more leisurely. For instance we can watch the gradual formation of Charlie Brown's crinkle smile and some well-timed slow reactions.” – Village Voice Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Mishima (1985) 79% “Despite a genuinely resonant performance by Ken Ogata as the mature Mishima, what finally emerges is a psychological drama without a Rosebud, a puzzle that, when all the pieces fall neatly into place, leaves us cold. ” – Vogue Apr 7, 2022 Full Review The Age of Innocence (1993) 88% “This is a magical tribute to a long-gone world. And in the tradition of the great films of romantic heartbreak, it leaves us in an after- glow of yearning.” – Ladies' Home Journal Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Iron Will (1994) 67% “With its clean and dramatic lines, its glistening cinematography and its deep understanding of the bond between animals and people, Iron Will is the kind of film Disney is famous for -- the kind of movie, in short, both kids and parents love.” – Ladies' Home Journal Aug 4, 2021 Full Review Free Willy (1993) 71% “Like all memorable children's films, this one will bring tears to the eyes of parents and kids alike as it deals with the eternal themes of love, loss, trust and forgiveness.” – Ladies' Home Journal Aug 4, 2021 Full Review
