Byrne is simply outstanding as the cool, calculating catalyst around whom the whole vivid spectacle revolves.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 17, 2024

The violence, like the rest of Miller's Crossing, is poetically staged, and strangely tasteful. But the movie's real firepower is the staccato slang of its script.

| Oct 18, 2023

The Coens created an idiosyncratic film with a serpentine plot that demands repeat viewings and still functions as a strong genre film more than three decades after its release.

Miller's Crossing is Miller's Crossing, the best film of the newly born decade. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 11, 2022

The images have a talismanic, almost fetishistic quality; they have their own dream logic.

| Original Score: A+ | Aug 31, 2022

It held my interest from the first frame to the last.

| May 26, 2022

like so many of the Coens best films, it is an enigma, a fleeting and gripping experience that offers itself up and pulls away from us at the same time

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 17, 2022

Bullet-riddled and crackling with quotable dialogue, Millers Crossing gets a handsome new 2K transfer and a handful of insightful extras.

Joel and Ethan Coen's third film had the misfortune of opening three days after GoodFellas and three months before The Godfather Part III, meaning it got clobbered at the box office. That's a shame, because this was one of the best films of its year.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 27, 2022

Given the consistent brilliance of Coens, it's less about how it ranks against the rest and more about just looking at the film for what it is a modern classic.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 22, 2022

'Miller's Crossing' might start in knowing satire and a winking brand of precise mimicry but it ends in a haunting existential trap.

| Feb 12, 2021

Despite the number of great films that [the Coens have] made, this is the one that still stands head and shoulders above the rest.

| Oct 8, 2020

If you're looking for a movie that rewards intense focus, this one fits the bill.

| Aug 4, 2020

A film that bases its enormous effectiveness on its actors - it is impossible to highlight only one, all are perfect - and in amazing dialogue. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 28, 2019

We love these characters because they're flawed and thus allow the Coens to let the story dictate their ends.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 27, 2018

...my choice for Joel and Ethan Coen's masterwork.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 9, 2018

[The Coen brothers'] most complicated and dense movie.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 22, 2013

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 7, 2011

...joke-heavy and bullet-riddled and studded with some of the most crackling dialogue heard since 'The Front Page.'

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 19, 2011

It has always been one of the special pleasures of movies that they dream worlds and map them at the same time. Miller's Crossing dreams a beaut...
