Movie Reviews

Matt's Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Matthew PejkovicA New York story born out of the acclaimed Actors Studio, Chinese Coffee is a tragic, at times comedic drama that focuses on the themes of trust, betrayal and compromise found in friendships.
User Review - 10/10 by steve wBRILLIANT. A sensitive, subtly brutal look at the dichotomous nature of living for one's art; of suffering for one's ideal; of becoming what you're meant to be. This is one of the best films I've seen in years and one of Pacino's most striking performances.
User Review - 10/10 by Katie YA beautiful honest movie for anyone in the arts--about living it, really. Beautifully written, acted, and directed. As significant a picture, as importantly honest as any Al Pacino has been in.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason MA great film about what's it like to have not made it yet as a middle aged bohemian. It crackles with life and knowing, and of course, those two outsanding performances by Al Pacino and Jerry Orbach. As good in its own way as My Dinner With Andre.
User Review - 8/10 by David BDespite the very simplistic plot I found myself rewatching several scenes, mesmerized by another great performance by Pacino.
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher BInteresting play on film by director and star Pacino. It's good to see Pacino do interesting work like this instead of his usual "Now where is my paycheck?" films. A good companion piece with Looking For Richard for the arty crowd.
User Review - 8/10 by Arsalan ZProbably something that should be seen more than once if you don't initially enjoy it. Unfortunately Jerry Orbach really takes away from Pacino's performance. His dialogue was great but his presence wasn't the right fit for the character. Great story though. And anyone studying for the SATs would do well to pay attention to the brilliant use of the English language in the apartment scenes.
User Review - 8/10 by Katie SA really cool little film with some great dialogue.
User Review - 8/10 by Sammy BGreat movie. The use of the flashbacks throughout are very nicely placed and used. Orbach and Pacino really have great chemistry and are at ther best acting wise. As a writer myself I can definitely relate to the story.
User Review - 8/10 by Jesse CFantastic. Orbach and Pacino share great chemistry. The story is really good, and it's amazing where 2 friends can end up after 90 minutes. It felt very real, Pacino does an above average job of directing, but it's the acting and story that's truly great.
