Movie Reviews

ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliOleanna probes deeply into some of the darker facets of human interaction, and anything with this keen an edge will cause discomfort. Three out of four "characteristic" movie-goers are likely to view this as a bad movie (too slow, too pedantic, too stilted). Oleanna, however, is no more intended for that crowd than are they for it. This film has been made for those willing to look beneath the surface to see a taut, intellectual sparring match where there is no absolute truth. For such an audience, this picture will leave an indelible imprint.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Gene SiskelDavid Mamet's fascinating polemic about sexual abuse in the workplace. A college teacher confers with a coed in his office to talk about her poor work, and all hell breaks lose with accusations. What were the teacher's motives? Does the student become the pawn of a feminist study group? This is the kind of all-too-rare picture that creates conversation on the way home from the movie theater.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversMamet's incendiary writing and the potent performances are teasingly ambiguous. Though he exposes the widening gulf between the sexes, Mamet leaves the audience to find ways to explain it. That's what makes Oleanna such a powerhouse; it's a brilliant dare.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Robert FairesMamet's layering of issues -- academic freedom, violence to women, political correctness, materialism, elitism -- is masterful, as is his use of broken dialogue -- the sentences stretch out here like a row of jagged stones.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzAs to be expected, the Mamet-speak is sharp, witty and masterful.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by David Bezansonthe film tried a little too hard to make the audience squirm -- but it also forced me to think.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarExpect this straightforward, compelling adaptation to provoke just the same level of domestic debate. As ever, the writing is rich, flexible, masterly.
The Seattle Times - 8/10 by Misha BersonThere's so much emotion and so many ideas in this film that it's both angering and exhilarating. The acting is fine, the writing superb, the production crisp.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyOverly schematic and the least effective screen adaptation of a David Mamet play.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Rene RodriguezThe material never really takes hold. It seems awkward. It lacks fire and passion. Watching it was like having a pale memory of a vivid experience.
