Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 10/10 by Judith MartinUltimately, Lemmon's performance is what makes The China Syndrome work: The script contains its share of technical jargon and clunky exposition, but his subtle transformation from complacency to anger to panic tells the story in raw emotional terms. The China Syndrome is ultimately a story about how the potential for human error can trump science and reason, and few actors have ever been as unmistakably human as Lemmon.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonEven without its eerie parallel to real life, this superb film generates enough drama on its own.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Renee SchonfeldScary, absorbing thriller predicts risks of nuclear power.
Backseat Mafia - 10/10 by Rob AldamIt's a gripping drama and one which feels all too feasible for comfort.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyJames Bridges's smashingly effective, very stylish suspense melodrama.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe movie is, above all, entertainment: well-acted, well-crafted, scary as hell.
Kansas City Kansan - 10/10 by Steve CrumControversial in its day, it still scores
Parallax View - 9/10 by Richard T. JamesonWhat we must quarrel with is the heartless, devious, and appallingly manipulative manner in which the authors of the film have drawn their good-guys-and-bad-guys battlelines ...
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeNot the greatest thing since sliced bread, but an effective thriller.
Time Out - 8/10 by Geoff AndrewAll a bit too earnest, despite the seriousness of the subject, with Fonda setting her jaw and stepping into father's footsteps as Tinseltown's very own protector of humanity; but it's tightly scripted and directed, and genuinely tense in places.
