Critic Reviews for Movies

The Wages of Fear (1953)80
Jul 1, 2020
A precursor of The Wild Bunch, it is an expertly directed, personally felt film.

Chaplin50
Jun 30, 2017
It's a monumental biopic that cheapens the hero's successes by glossing over the failures that surely also shaped the man.

Jumpin' Jack Flash60

The charismatic comedienne pulls the slipshod spy adventure Jumpin' Jack Flash out of the fire. [10 Oct 1986, p.N29]

Blame It on Rio10
Jun 28, 2017
Blame It on Rio, ha. Rio is innocent. Let's put the blame on executive producer Gelbart along with Caine and Bologna. Unlike the starlettes they've taken in tow, these three guys are old enough to know better.
Miller's CrossingCritic ScoreRita Kempley

As disturbing and densely beautiful as its opening image, a lofty forest that dwarfs the gangsters as they laugh over their kill.
HeathersCritic ScoreRita Kempley
100
More than just one of the best movies so far this year, it is a revolution in young-adult entertainment.
Reversal of FortuneCritic ScoreRita Kempley
100
This engrossing mystery-comedy peeks through the keyholes of the rich and infamous in a manner both droll and delicious.
Howards EndCritic ScoreRita Kempley
100
Merchant and Ivory have regathered many of the cast and crew from their earlier films to work on this reproduction to exquisite effect.
The Remains of the DayCritic ScoreRita Kempley
100
Hopkins and Thompson's downright marvelous duet is supported by a host of deft players, and the detailed re-creation of this small universe is in all ways remarkable.
Who Framed Roger RabbitCritic ScoreRita Kempley
100
An instant slapstick classic from Disney and Steven Spielberg. Already, it's a hare's breadth away from legend. [22 June 1988]
