Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertKing of the Hill could have been a family picture, or a heartwarming TV docudrama, or a comedy. Soderbergh must have seen more deeply into the Hotchner memoir, however, because his movie is not simply about what happens to the kid. It's about how the kid learns and grows through his experiences.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanThis story of a 12-year-old boy who drops through the net of middle-class life invites us-in each shimmering frame-to gaze upon the world with a child's freshly awakening vision.
Variety - 10/10 by Todd McCarthyKing of the Hill has all the rich satisfactions of a fine novel.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Mike D'AngeloBoasts one of the most expertly crafted screenplays of the ’90s.
The Dissolve - 9/10 by Noel MurrayPart period piece and part coming-of-age story, King Of The Hill balances an incident-packed script with muted tones, painting a rich, absorbing picture of one boy’s struggle to live by his wits.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Janet MaslinWith warmth, wit and none of the usual overlay of nostalgia, King of the Hill presents the scary yet liberating precariousness of life on the edge.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Harper BarnesA far cry from his earlier films sex, lies, and videotape and Kafka, Soderbergh skillfully pulls off what could have ended up as a sappy glob of treacly nostalgia. Instead, the director populates his young hero's chaotic world with genuinely disturbing people, images, and events.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliThe narrative is presented in a straightforward manner; Soderbergh doesn't employ any unusual chronologies. His style is frank, not quirky, and lends itself to a number of powerful images.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marc SavlovA far cry from his earlier films sex, lies, and videotape and Kafka, Soderbergh skillfully pulls off what could have ended up as a sappy glob of treacly nostalgia. Instead, the director populates his young hero's chaotic world with genuinely disturbing people, images, and events.
