Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by John AndersonAnderson, who makes as impressive a directing debut as has been seen in some time, creates a perfectly modulated mystery that doesn't even feel like one. It's a character play, and Hall, Reilly and Paltrow are so convincingly damaged they take on the properties of fine china.
Variety - 9/10 by Joe LeydonFour excellent lead performances, vividly evoked ambience and a masterfully sustained mood of quiet desperation mark Sydney as an impressive piece of work.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumImpressive for its lean and unblemished storytelling, but even more so for its performances.
Film.com - 9/10 by John HartlBest of all is Anderson's sense of character, expressed in dialogue that never strains for effect and in his expert handling of a first-rate quartet of actors.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertMovies like Hard Eight remind me of what original, compelling characters the movies can sometimes give us.
Film4 - 9/10 by Brett AshleyA near-classic in a minor key, and a must-see for fans of later work.
Cinema em Cena - 8/10 by Pablo VillaçaEstréia de Anderson, mostra que o diretor sempre teve talento para contar histórias, embora ainda não tivesse confiança o bastante para criar as belas tomadas e movimentos de câmera que marcam seus trabalhos posteriores.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThis minor Vegas-set drama, about a loser and his older mentor, shows the features that will mark Anderson's better films: love for his characters, taut dialogue at the expense of plot, and fascination with the possibilities of the film medium.
LarsenOnFilm - 8/10 by Josh LarsenA clever, confident debut from Paul Thomas Anderson and a showcase role for character actor Philip Baker Hall.
Sacramento Bee - 8/10 by Joe BaltakeThis being an acting piece, the four performances are of a very high order.
