“Dick Richards directs the show hard and fast, fighting for laughs every mile of the road and getting quite a few -- never mind how.” –

Barry Lyndon (1975)
78%
“Barry Lyndon is as stultifying as it is prodigious. For a start, the picture appears to have been designed by someone who learned the art at Madame Tussaud's. ” –

The Searchers (1956)
87%
“Wayne's behavior is presented as the heroic stuff out of which the West was made. In fact, the ex-soldier he portrays is a psychotic with homicidal tendencies which he is given almost almost unlimited opportunities to indulge.” –

Uptight (1968)
80%
“Dassin, if he was issuing a warning, should have been explicit, and not allowed the viewer to wonder whether the implication he senses are no more than ineptitudes of presentation.” –

Limelight (1952)

“A movie of impressive dimensions and great technical skill that serves up a tidbit of pathos as though it were a feast of tragedy.” –

Diabolique (1955)
95%
“Clouzot is a man of intelligence and skill who shows himself to be excited by only two sensations -- cruelty and disgust. His appeal is as degenerate as the horror comics, and more offensive because it is more cultivated. ” –

High Noon (1952)
95%
“What it comes down to is that the makers of High Noon, in an attempt to inject new content into the standard Western formula, have raised vexing moral issues that they have no intention of treating in a responsible way. ” –

La Strada (1954)
98%
“Quinn's rough mastery of his crude little show, his bull rage in the face of perplexity or new circumstances, and Basehart's inhuman agility and asexual glee are pantomime creatures of a high order. ” –

Gigi (1958)
89%
“Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe will probably never repeat the hysterical success of [My Fair Lady], and yet they have made a very nice show out out of Colette's durable comedy. ” –

Porgy and Bess (1959)
71%
“The cast had the talent for Porgy and Bess, but Mr. Goldwyn and Mr. Preminger have made them little more than supernumeraries to sensation.” –

Marty (1955)
96%
“Marty is a modest film, not very important and not very memorable, but I wish it well. For one thing, it is a timely rebuttal of Hollywood's repeated insinuation that sex is the prerogative of the spectacularly sexy.” –

Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)

“[Mankiewicz] has turned out a polished film, and one that deals boldly with the ugly theme, but he has certainly not wasted any subtlety on the job.” –

Black Orpheus (1959)
88%
“[Black Orpheus] is an example of taste in search of a style. It is full of good ideas and moving perceptions... But somehow the film never ignites.” –

Pather Panchali (1955)

“What I did grasp seemed to be over-assertive as to photography and under-developed as to drama -- it was all exquisitely downhill.” –

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
93%
“[O'Toole] looks a good deal like Lawrence's portraits and he rides a camel with great authority. But he cannot project a sense of magic and, in moments of alleged spiritual agony, he merely looks dazed.” –

In Cold Blood (1967)

“In the end, one is left, not with a work of art, not with a document but with a cliché. It is an inadequate monument, even to a pair of stupid criminals.” –

“It is a rousing spectacle -- and [Anna Magnani] is the best possible antidote -- to the antiseptic, nylon-packaged blandishments that symbolize sex on | the billboards.” –

Letters From My Windmill (1954)
“Daudet's Lettres de Mon Moulin seem a marvelous chance for the piquant-sentimental style of Marcel Pagnol. But it has not worked out that way.” –

The Man With the Golden Arm (1955)

“Forgetting for a moment the contempt Otto Preminger has shown for the spirit of Algren's novel, he has committed the commercial sin of producing and directing a dull movie.” –
