Leave your thoughts about Minnie and Moskowitz.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis kind of casting can't help but give the movie an intimate, familiar feeling, and maybe that's why the comedy works as human comedy and not just manufactured laughs. |
| TV GuideMichael ScheinfeldThe most accessible, and endearing example of his very exceptional art. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonMinnie and Moskowitz could easily be retitled as “Men Who Yell at Gena Rowlands About Why They Should Be an Item”. But with John Cassavetes script, the yelling is fun. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAn idiosyncratic romance, and a far lighter movie than is usual from Cassavetes. Detailing the problems that background and character bring to a relationship, he creates a captivatingly witty and sympathetic picture of a pair of misfits deciding to make a go of it together despite numerous incompatibilities and adversities. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe sculptural physicality of the images, a 3-D explosion without glasses, embodies that violence while preserving the antagonists’ innocent grace; love smooths things out to a dreamy and reflective shine. |
| Spectrum CulturePat Padua[John] Cassavetes injected elements of his own relationship with [Gena] Rowlands into Minnie and Moskowitz's odd courtship, and despite the characters seeming incompatibility, their union is finally credible and touching. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt’s a funny film, and it’s even charming in a shaggy way, but there isn’t a light moment in it—Cassavetes demands that comedy be played as passionately as drama. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelGena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel play the title roles in Minnie And Moskowitz, an oppressive and irritating film in which a shrill and numbing hysteria of acting and direction soon kills any empathy for the loneliness of the main characters. John Cassavetes wrote and directed in his now-familiar home-movie improvisational and indulgent style. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Cassavetes's use of exaggerated slapstick gestures to underscore the loneliness and fears of his characters is more interesting in theory than funny or moving in actual fact. |
| User ReviewAdam PThe loudest romantic comedy you'll ever see. It's such a great, genuine spin on the cinematic love story, with wonderful depth in characters and their unique connections. Gena Rowlands is, as always, stunning and she's got at least two monologues that are simply masterful. |
