Leave your thoughts about The Cotton Club.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFrancis Ford Coppola's The Cotton Club is, quite simply, a wonderful movie. It has the confidence and momentum of a movie where every shot was premeditated -- and even if we know that wasn't the case, and this was one of the most troubled productions in recent movie history, what difference does that make when the result is so entertaining? |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt was the most assured film Coppola had made in a decade, full of casual wit and visual invention. And even though the split narrative doesn't quite cohere, Coppola wins an amazingly high proportion of his risky bets, including a finale that takes off into total abstraction. |
| Associated PressDolores BarclayThe Cotton Club is an expensive fiasco that meanders through the '20s and '30s with flimsy characters and a pointless plot. |
| TIME MagazineRichard CorlissThe Cotton Club is not a bad film, just a bland one; not inept, just inert. Given its garish production history, one rather expected The Cotton Club to sing with hot-jazz desperation. Instead, we get the mediocre craftsmanship of a pit band in Vegas. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioIn the way it deemphasizes its script and consciously undercuts its star, Cotton Club adventurously questions the formulas of Hollywood; its success in doing so without a hint of boredom or pretension augurs a whole new way of making movies. It's the most entertaining art film of the year, the kind of movie you can't help smiling along with. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyFrancis Ford Coppola magically recreates the era, its movies and its music, in this razzle-dazzle celebration, some fact and some fiction. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDramatically, Coppola and coscreenwriter William Kennedy, juggle a lot of balls in the air. The parallel stories of Gere and Hines' professional rise prove more potent, thanks largely to a mixture of romance, music and gangland involvement. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevySharply uneven, Coppola's period musical about he famous Harlem club is lavishly produced but shallow. |
| NewsweekJack KrollThe film's period settings and spectacular on-stage showbiz set-pieces are fabulous, its meandering script much less so. The thing feels like a movie with its heart ripped out. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullGangsters, tap dancers, and jazz musicians collide! |
