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.

| May 3, 2018

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 4, 2016

[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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 30, 2016

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.

Superb Steinbeck adaptation that gets at the meat of the tale.

Fine, studied treatment by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | May 20, 2003

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