Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Dave KehrKeaton's appreciation of the formal paradoxes of the medium is astounding; his observations on the relationship between film and the subconscious are groundbreaking and profound. And it's a laugh riot, too.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by David ParkinsonBuster Keaton's third and shortest feature ranks among his best.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranA master of movement and stillness, Keaton developed a comedy style that was as intellectual as it was physical, and this small gem shows us why he's as purely American a film genius as the motion pictures have produced.
Goatdog's Movies - 9/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.I need a different scale to rate this movie.
Cinemania - 9/10 by Dan JardineSherlock Jr. is Keaton's signature statement, and mind-warping flight of fancy on the dreamlike nature of films and the fluid nature of our ontological existence.
Little White Lies - 9/10 by Emma SimmondsSherlock Jr. is notable for a series of scintillating, near-inexplicable stunts, Keaton's characteristically dexterous and deadpan performance, as well as for its fat-free rattling-good storytelling and witty intertitles.
User Review - 10/10 by Alice SIntelligent, creative, funny ... With the simplest means... at the highest degree. The perfect proof that less is more.
User Review - 10/10 by Philip HI wish the Kino DVD had the score by Vince Giordano's Nighthawks which ran on AMC years ago, and not the discordant and showy one by the Club Foot Orchestra. Still, this is a brilliant movie, my favorite of all the Keaton features.
User Review - 10/10 by Bastien ML'un des films les plus aboutis de Buster Keaton : l'intrigue du recit est sans fondement (on sait d'entree de jeu qui est le voleur et qu'il a ete demasque par la fiancee de Buster) et permet surtout a Buster de reflechir sur le cinema (extraordinaire scene "d'entree dans le film") et d'exploiter a fond ses talents surhumains de la cascade a haut risque et a l'humour tres fin. 45 minutes de pur plaisir et de pur genie, tout simplement.
User Review - 10/10 by Keith JShort, sweet, and hilarious. In less than an hour, Buster Keaton tells a simple story that is filled with more memorable moments than the average bloated blockbuster. As with "The General," Keaton proves again and again that not only is he a skilled comedian, but also a daring stuntman and one of the best cinematographers of his time.
