A solid piece of storytelling...

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

A “GoodFellas” with heart, “A Bronx Tale” represents a wonderfully vivid snapshot of a colorful place and time, as well as a very satisfying directorial debut by Robert De Niro.

| Nov 26, 2008

A Bronx Tale is a deliciously well-observed memory piece about growing up in the '60s that marks the vital debut of director Robert De Niro.

| Mar 31, 2008

It's the moralistic tenor of A Bronx Tale that's ultimately most off-putting.

| Original Score: C | Oct 19, 2006

Mr. De Niro is able to lend toughness to an ending that risks becoming overpoweringly sentimental, and instead succeeds in conveying a strong sense of father-son love.

| May 20, 2003

De Niro's choices as a director all seem prudent and un-showy, designed to draw attention to the characters and the story rather than its technical assemblage and much-lauded star.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

A Bronx Tale is a very funny movie sometimes, and very touching at other times. It is filled with life and colorful characters and great lines of dialogue, and De Niro, in his debut as a director, finds the right notes.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000
