Melvin and Howard has the same beautiful, dippy warmth as its characters.

...striking, engrossing...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 16, 2022

Tak Fujimoto's photography and Craig McKay's editing are without fault.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 27, 2020

Hypnotic shots of asphalt echo Two-Lane Blacktop, Easy Rider and other American road movies while forging its own human path - not of counterculture, but of connection.

Affectionately good-humoured as much of the observation is... the film's eye is, if never savage, then sometimes at least moderately scathing.

Everything is all right really -- it tells us -- as long as there are good guys like Melvin to add a little human decency and a touch of naive fun to the great game show of life. I found this melancholy, however, rather than inspiring.

Shambling yet delicate, Demme's screwball tall tale gazes at 온라인카지노추천 contests and novelty ballads and sees not derisive kitsch but the warm connective tissue of human yearning

A limp biopic with wooden performances and an uninteresting premise.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2011

Some great, reverberant moments.

| Original Score: A+ | Apr 21, 2007

The film offers a bittersweet commentary about chasing the American Dream of monetary success abd mobility and the constant attempt to rise above one's situation by naive and optimistic charcaters, not fully aware of their class limitations.

| Original Score: A | Oct 4, 2006

Robards is a chillingly effective Hughes. But this movie belongs to Paul Le Mat, as Dummar.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 23, 2004

Very few movies are set so convincingly in America's working class. I believed, and liked, Melvin Dummar, milkman of the month, bargainer in good faith with the universe.
