Leave your thoughts about Bye Bye Braverman.
| New York TimesRenata AdlerSidney Lumet has probably exhausted the cinema possibilities of drawing people together out of separate lives to attend funerals in semisatirical circumstances. It hardly ever works in fiction, and it does not seem the best vehicle for his movies at all. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSatiric bittersweet funeral pic with a healthy dose of Jewish humor and a droll travelogue look at the NYC landscape. |
| Time OutTom MilneIt's a little unfocused but bristles with Jewish wit and fine performances. |
| User ReviewJeffrey Sbestest movie for obscurity....best for film ....to me |
| User ReviewCorey HOne my favorite of Lumet's films. Very black comedy that is very well acted. |
| User ReviewMatt KI cannot believe that no one else has rated this! |
| User ReviewAshley CFour childhood friends travel to Brooklyn to attend a friend's funeral. It's a good time capsule of New York in this period, and there's one or two nice sequences. Director Lumet's characters are interesting, but the film feels stagy, and the late '60s-meandering-episodic style is ultimately dull. Look for a young Sorrell Brooke (Boss Hogg to younger TV watchers) in a prominent role! |
| User ReviewRick Qsidney lumet never fails to get fantastic and genuine performances from his actors. unfortunately for "by bye, braverman", all the actors are playing boring characters, that i couldn't care less about. |
