The Stepford Wives (1975)
55%
“After limping along for three-quarters of the picture, director Bryan Forbes desperately endeavoring to build suspense without ever quite engaging the spectator's emotions, the action plunges headlong into the realm of sci-fi fantasy and disaster.” –

“The film is a relatively weak attempt to repeat the success of "Funny Girl," upon which it leans practically to the point of plagiary. ” –

“The film itself is consistently spectacular. But it is the humor, arising from the robots and 20-year-old Miss Fisher's kookie performance, as the princess, that saves the day.” –

Rancho Deluxe (1975)

“Its appeal lies not so much in the plot (hardly original) as in the incidental touches of Mr. McGuane and director Frank Perry, the brilliantly conceived non-stock characters and their interpretation by the actors.” –

Nashville (1975)

“A busy, zigzagging patchwork of a picture that dazzles the spectator with images and sound. Altman's characteristic pitch is a mass assault on eye and ear, and in Nashville he has found the ideal subject. But he tries to do too much.” –
