Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranMr. Jordan's screenplay... is both efficient and ingenious. The physical production is as lush as the film's romantic longings. [26 Sept 1992]
Nick's Flick Picks - 10/10 by Nick DavisA spindly, absorbing thriller about politics, ethics, sexuality, and the looseness of identity.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversRea and Davidson are incomparably good in an exceptional film that is by turns darkly funny and deeply affecting. Though Jordan's control sometimes falters, it's a small price to pay for his daring.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertOne of a very few films that wants to do something unexpected and challenging, and succeeds even beyond its ambitions. See this film. Then shut up about it.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanBy the time The Crying Game is over, you'll never look at beauty in quite the same way.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Hal HinsonFrom the performances by Rea, Davidson and Whitaker, to Jordan's endlessly original script, to Anne Dudley's melancholy score, and Lyle Lovett's closing rendition of "Stand by Your Man," The Crying Game enthralls and amazes us. It deserves to be called great.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Rick GroenSimultaneously a tough, haunting, lyrical, hopeful film, and the tears it wants us to shed are an alloy of sorrow and joy - cleansing tears, the kind that alter the rules and dignify the game.
Time - 10/10 by Richard CorlissAn astonishingly good and daring film that richly develops several intertwined thematic lines, The Crying Game takes giant risks that are stunningly rewarded.
Orlando Sentinel - 10/10 by Jay BoyarThis film must be discovered as it unfolds: If anyone starts to tell you about it, hit him.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAbsorbing offbeat blend of a romantic, psychological and political thriller.
