Movie Reviews

Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestA film that actually feels more modern than most of what we see nowadays, sixty some years later.
Future Movies UK - 10/10 by Ed ColleyYou will not only be inspired by the film itself, but your entire knowledge and appreciation of the film making process will be all the more richer because of it.
IGN DVD - 10/10 by R.L. ShafferOne of the best films out there, and certainly a high point in early cinema. The love for Citizen Kane is deserved.
Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley LovellThe amazing depth of story and richness of composition make Citizen Kane a must-see for anyone who considers themselves a lover of films.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeLook at it from an entertainment standpoint. What you'll find is that it's a very entertaining, sometimes very funny and always extremely playful film.
Independent (UK) - 10/10 by Robert HanksIt would be nice to be able to buck the critical orthodoxy and say how tired and overrated Citizen Kane is; but the dulll truth is, it's still, indisputably, one of the great masterpieces of cinema.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawSublime moments, of which the most extraordinary must still be Everett Sloane, playing Kane's former business manager Mr Bernstein, remembering the girl in the white dress on the Jersey ferry: "I only saw her for one second and she didn't see me at all – but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl." I'll bet a week hasn't gone by when I haven't thought about that line and pictured the girl so clearly that she has become a false memory of the movie itself.
London Evening Standard - 10/10 by Derek MalcolmTo revisit it now is still to marvel at its wit, audacity and sheer entertainment value.
Movie Mom - 10/10 by Nell MinowKids who watch this movie can never know how revolutionary it was.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonCitizen Kane has been cited as the greatest film ever made from so many different quarters, it's a wonder that a Congressional law hasn't been passed making it required viewing for anyone who claims they like movies.
