вЂњArgentine writer Manuel PuigвЂ™s book Kiss of the Spider Woman has a theme that endures throughout all its various incarnations: that of human dignity and compassion surviving within a society that denies it.вЂќ вЂ“ Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine вЂњIt is a great, warm, hard, unforgiving, triumphant movie, and there is not a scene that does not shine with the love of the people who made it.вЂќ вЂ“ Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times And we cannot help but share that emotion and relate it to our own lives.вЂќ вЂ“ Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune вЂњZemeckis and GaleвЂ¦ give us two priceless scenes in which the young time-traveler simply regards his parents-to-be with wonderment, delight and empathy. Few other directors had KurosawaвЂ™s ability to convey the intimate as well as the epic, to handle stillness as well as violence.вЂќ вЂ“ Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times вЂњWhatвЂ™s remarkable about Ran is that the drama enhances the spectacle the same way the spectacle bolsters the drama.

It is a movie with the courage to be about complex, sweeping emotions, and to use the star power of its actors without apology.вЂќ вЂ“ Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times вЂњOut of Africa is a great movie to look at, breathtakingly filmed on location.

вЂњScorseseвЂ™s orchestration of thematic development, narrative structure, and visual style is stunning in its detail and fullness this 1985 feature reestablished him as one of the very few contemporary masters of filmmaking.вЂќ вЂ“ Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader For what director/interviewer Lanzmann has done on film is nothing less than revive history, a history so ugly that many would prefer to forget.вЂќ вЂ“ Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune вЂњShoah is the greatest use of film in motion picture history, taking movies to their highest moral value. Stanley Kubrick was an Albert Brooks fan for a reason.вЂќ вЂ“ Rob Gonsalves, вЂњIt is, I think, BrooksвЂ™ masterpiece - nothing inessential, one great scene after another, just flat-out perfect. In his feature debut, Puenzo shows commitment to human rights without imposing explicit political doctrine.вЂќ вЂ“ Emanuel Levy, вЂњA rare film, which makes a powerful political statement while telling a touching personal story. вЂњThe filmвЂ™s undeniable impact comes from BogdanovichвЂ™s willingness to go too far with practically every emotional moment, while maintaining a distant, classical visual style that gives the film a surface dignity and reserve.вЂќ вЂ“ Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader вЂњIt has no real competition as this seasonвЂ™s reigning fairy tale.вЂќ вЂ“ Janet Maslin, New York Times

вЂњIt tells a story in which every individual detail seems to make sense, and every individual choice seems logical, but the choices and details form a bewildering labyrinth in which there are times when even the murderers themselves donвЂ™t know who they are.вЂќ вЂ“ Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times But the result is worth it, for this is the clearest film statement yet on how the nature of heroism has changed in this totalitarian century.вЂќ вЂ“ Richard Schickel, Time Magazine

вЂњIt must be nerve-racking for the producers to offer a tale so lacking in standard melodramatic satisfactions. Madonna has never found a better fit than the role of Susan.вЂќ вЂ“ Time Out вЂњEven if the plotting (a mistaken identity farce involving that old chestnut, amnesia brought on by a bump to the head) is square as a square peg. вЂњBe a little patient: What builds beneath this quiet exterior, shot through with dark wit, is a haunting examination of the price that romantic idealism can exact.вЂќ вЂ“ Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times вЂњJust as he did with the British countryside in EXCALIBUR, Boorman gives the deep jungles of South America an almost dreamlike, magical qualityвЂќ вЂ“ Brian McKay, The reason is the five terrific young actors, who bring more conviction to these parts than they perhaps deserve.вЂќ вЂ“ David Ansen, Newsweek вЂњHughes may deserve more plaudits as a social worker than a filmmaker, but you have to admit his hokey situation plays. The film thatВ appeared on the most of those lists вЂ“ at 75 вЂ“ might surprise you. In 1985, Pat McGilligan and Mark Rowland started polling 75 critics, rather than 50 as they had in the past.
