Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 9/10 by Wesley Morris"Grin Without a Cat" brilliantly used montage and a wide intellectual scope to speculate about the history of war and revolution. "Grinning Cat" is a more modest achievement, but the director's wisdom remains robust.
AV Club - 9/10 by Noel MurrayThe Case Of The Grinning Cat is a sequel of sorts to Marker's epic three-hour 1977 documentary on the decline of the left, "A Grin Without A Cat"--though this new work is both shorter and more playful.
New York Post - 9/10 by V.A. MusettoSounds boring, but it's not, thanks to Marker's whimsical irreverence.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Bill StametsMarker -- something of a cine-sage known for his essay-style documentaries -- playfully decodes this unofficial icon of French street culture.
Cinematical - 8/10 by Karina LongworthFeels like Marker's attempt to implicitly reconcile his own advanced age...one is bound to see history repeat itself in full, ignorant swing, if one lives long enough.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumI can't think of a better portrait of contemporary Paris or the zeitgeist of 2001-'04 than Chris Marker's wise and whimsical 58-minute 2004 video...no one can film people in the street better than Marker or combine images with more grace and finesse.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckThe film doesn't really manage to sustain attention through its brief running time. But it is heartening to see that the filmmaker, now in his mid-80s, is as passionately engaged as ever.
User Review - 10/10 by Samuel PDelightful and biting. A definite must-see.
User Review - 10/10 by Rajarshi Bamazing!!!!...makes me happy when I watch this!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Daryl COstensibly an investigation into the appearance of graffiti of a grinning cat, it's actually a sly and affectionate meditation on the Left in the wake of the collapse of communism and the effects of post-colonialism (and the rise of nonwhite populations) in Europe.
