Harry and Tonto Reviews

A lively tour... and we spend it in good company: Art Carney’s Harry is a loveable type.

| Nov 7, 2022

The film has curdled into camp.

| Jan 20, 2022

"Harry and Tonto" is an unusual film which addresses itself to the matter of growing old in America and it manages to do so without foundering in mawkish sentimentality or delivering a sermon on the dignity of age.

| Jun 11, 2021

Mazursky is to be commended for this wonderful portrait because too few movies deal with the elderly and contain the wit and originality as does this one.

| Jun 11, 2021

An excellent motion picture, wise and entertaining and upholding the basic dignity of man in a world that often moves too fast for him.

| Jun 11, 2021

The film excels over every mile of Carney's journey and in every scene in which Carney appears - which is virtually every one in the picture.

| Jun 11, 2021

Thrills and chills there are not in "Harry and Tonto." But there's a lot of Art Carney, a warmly welcome new starring presence at the movies.

| Jun 11, 2021

As a slice of contemporary American life, the story's wit and humanity will be a refreshing relief from some of the excesses moviegoers are currently being subjected to.

| Jun 11, 2021

This film marks Carney's debut, and it could not be more impressive.

| Jun 11, 2021

Despite occasional sentimentality, it says more about contemporary American life than any movie I've seen in a long time.

| Jun 11, 2021

We are ambushed and through one haunting scene after the other are left deeply moved and sometimes overwhelmed by the simple beauty and elegance of "Harry and Tonto."

| Jun 11, 2021

Optimism and the deep pleasure of Carney's company make "Harry and Tonto" a cheering arrival.

| Jun 11, 2021

It's Carney's performance that most compels.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 11, 2021

Art Carney gives a performance of such depth and wisdom that it is a thing of beauty in itself.

| Jun 11, 2021

Warm and thought-provoking portrayal of a journey and a man coping with the onset of age and all that might mean.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 11, 2021

Filled with laughs, good times and human truths, it emerges as the best comedy of 74.

| Dec 11, 2019

Art Carney's performance is inexpressive and dull enough to earn him an Oscar... The cat acts best, and with condign condescension.

| Feb 10, 2019

Affectionate but contrived odyssey folk tale.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 29, 2012

A pleasant film about an old man who rejuvenates himself on a cross-country trek.

| Nov 24, 2008

Mazursky has escaped Fellini's shadow; when everyone's back from going to 'look for America', he might have something interesting to say.
