Movie Reviews

F5 (Wichita, KS) - 9/10 by Jake EukerSo bleak a vision as to be obsessive and ultimately shallow.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by James PlathCinematic style and Jennifer Jason Leigh make this worth watching.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyGerman director Eli Edel has fashioned a grim yet coherent and extremely well acted tale out of Hubert Selby's 1964 collection of short stories about misfits, criminals and outsiders in Brooklyn's Red Hook, circa 1952.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzFor the most part, Edel captures the harrowing grim tone of the book and the compassion the author had for his unsympathetic flawed characters.
User Review - 10/10 by Steven TI did not read the book. I did see the movie in the theatre when it was released. A fascinating study of the human condition. A gripping intense story. Almost 20 years later I marvel how reflective this movie was of the world around me.
User Review - 10/10 by Amber WI LOVE this movie. It is truly brilliant, gritty and JJL is at her best. You don't watch this movie - you feel it.
User Review - 10/10 by Terry NI love the book, and it was a treat to see all the characters come so thoroughly to life on screen. Very well cast movie!
User Review - 10/10 by Rick FOne of my favorite all time films. Haven't seen it in a while but saw it again for the first time in years tonight. Brutal, tragic, no sentimentality here. What can I say...my kind of movie!
User Review - 10/10 by Rufus XA very disturbing piece of cinema banned in the UK for years due the the gang rape scene. Not strong by today's standards but still a very moving story that deserved a much better transfer to DVD than the very poor one it was actually given by the studios.
User Review - 10/10 by Jennifer SAmazing, heartbreaking...just a great film.
