Movie Reviews

Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThis blisteringly cynical satire, written by Paddy Chayefsky, is one of the darkest movies ever made, a cold-eyed lament for a society torn apart by upheavals of the Sixties.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyThis darkly humorous satire of an urban hospital is probably the only decent movie that Arthur Hiller had directed, benefiting from Chayefsky's Oscar winning script.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertIt has been criticized for switching tone in midstream, but maybe it's only heading for deeper, swifter waters.
Fantastica Daily - 8/10 by Chuck O'LearyAnother towering performance by the great George C. Scott highlights this scathing satire of the medical field.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyAlthough Mr. Chayefsky has written a very contemporary melodramatic farce, his political sympathies have their roots in the liberalism of 20 years ago.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt was hard to come out of The Hospital feeling all that well.
The New Yorker - 6/10 by Pauline KaelIt starts off with some marvellously cruel moments, and Scott's performance towers over the proceedings throughout. But Hiller's direction is pretty shoddy, while the script eventually loses its way and begins to look increasingly hysterical, at the same time shamelessly trivialising Scott's crisis.
User Review - 10/10 by Brett WAn allegory for the precognitive collapse of global health services (from a purely '70's perspective).
User Review - 10/10 by Edward SThe Hospital is a little dated but George C. Scott is excellent. I think this is his best performance. But the real focus of this film is the work of Paddy Chayevsky. The dialog is so rich and thoughtful. The last line is almost as good as the Casablanca line. "It's like pissing in the wind. No matter what you do you get wet".
User Review - 10/10 by Vasco WGreat movie and actually it isn't clear what kind of genre it is.. And of course Diana Rigg :)
