Of Mice and Men Reviews
[A] well made, moving drama.
| May 9, 2023
Still, in a time when most moviegoers (and video viewers) seem to prefer color, Of Mice and Men retells Steinbeck's tale with sensitivity and respect.

Classic-literature-adaptation demureness...but it's impeccably cast and mostly quite faithful. [Blu-ray]

[UPDATED 2024 BLU-RAY REVIEW] The 1939 interpretation starring Lon Chaney Jr. and Burgess Meredith remains the definitive version, but this 1992 take is a gem in its own right.

Elegant adaptation of Steinbeck's classic novel.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 2, 2011
Well-mounted and very traditional, Of Mice and Men honorably serves John Steinbeck's classic story of two Depression-era drifters without bringing anything new to it.

It's hard ... to believe Malkovich's shamble and gape, a simian variant on Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man.

Of Mice and Men is a mournful, distantly heard lament for the loss of American innocence.

Nothing like a couple of acting gods attacking one of the classics.
