Movie Reviews

Miami Herald - 8/10 by Bill CosfordOddly enough, it's as black comedy and social history, far more than thriller or human drama, that Patty Hearst works best.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe entire film centers on the remarkable performance by Natasha Richardson as Hearst. She convinces us she is Hearst, not by pressing the point, but by taking it for granted.
48 Hills - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyIt's a portrayal both sympathetic and grotesquely funny at times.
New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelThis stylized movie of ideas is a lean, impressive piece of work.
Lawrence Journal-World - 8/10 by Dan LybargerSchrader's low-key approach to the tabloid story is refreshing. Richarson is magnificent.
The New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard BrodyWithout sacrificing his critical judgment, Schrader retains a remarkable sympathy both for Hearst and for those who wrenched her from her life and made her—even if in deed only—one of their own.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyPatty Hearst is a model of swift, spare, unsentimental film making about a character who can never be known, as most fictional characters are, and about a specific time and circumstances that, with hindsight, seem incredible.
Empire - 6/10 by Nick de SemlyenPaul Schrader's intense drama pulls out all the stops.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by Jay ScottPatty Hearst puts forth much less than its pretensions. Frequently wrapped in surrealistic stylization, film manages only to tell Hearst's side of her kidnapping ordeal.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Dave KehrThe enigma not only remains, but, cloaked in Schrader`s mysticism, seems more impenetrable than ever.
