Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayGritty and disturbing - there was a reason for that X-rating . . . and the Oscar!
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonIt only takes a movie like Midnight Cowboy to point out the limitations of a rating system: How can a measly four stars convey the magnificence of this acknowledged classic?
Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley LovellGreat performances from Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman cap this bravest Academy Awards Best Picture choice in history.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonA great picture, 113 minutes of stirring stuff, set to the ironic lilt of Jean "Toots" Thielemans's harmonica and Harry Nilsson's theme tune, "Everybody's Talkin'."
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James KendrickIt remains just as humane, just as moving, just as darkly humorous, just as revelatory as it was when it won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1970
Austin Chronicle - 10/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThis multi-Oscar-winner nails its characters, time period, and locale so perfectly that it becomes even more compelling as time goes by. Fueled by two riveting character studies and its exposure of New York City's seamy underbelly, the movie screams “contemporary” and “eternal” at once...It's one of those rare movies that comes together just about perfectly, so check out this theatrical release while you can.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 10/10 by Emanuel LevySchlesinger's frenzied style and visual pyrotechnics (New Wave influence) are less impressive than the characters and the central friendship between Joe Buck and Ratso, splendidly played by Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman.
Empire - 10/10 by Adam SmithSuperb performances and a compelling script have made this film a strange mix of Oscar-winner and Cult Classic.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Andrew SarrisThe performances and presences of Voight and Hoffman are so extraordinarily affecting that their scenes together generate more emotional power than the dramatic wiring of their relationship deserves. [29 May 1969, p.47]
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Gene SiskelThere is no question that this film is flawed by the inclusion of the party scene and Ratzo's dream, but I cannot recall a more marvelous pair of acting performances in any one film. Dustin Hoffman deserves the Oscar for a role that is prickly on the outside, but tender on the inside.
