Leave your thoughts about The Natural.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThe Natural is a fairy tale from start to finish, full of wildly implausible scenes that win over our emotions because, frankly, that's the way we'd like life to be. Being a baseball fan involves repeatedly experiencing exquisite pain and exquisite joy. Well, there's a lot of both in The Natural. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickunabashedly sentimental and grand in its themes of goodness, honor, tenacity, and forgiveness |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitLessons for life, suitable for the Disney Channel and inspiration for people who love fairy tales ... a favorite of people who love sentiment and melodrama. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyA mature and elegiac fantasy done with feeling and sincerity that really captures the mystique of old-time baseball. |
| People MagazineRalph NovakThe scouting report on The Natural has to read: lots of tools but no heart. |
| IGNR.L. ShafferDirected by Barry Levinson (this was his sophomore theatrical feature following Diner), the film is quite moving. Redford delivers a great, soft-spoken, naturalistic performance and he's paired with a solid all-star cast. Randy Newman's score is absolutely terrific, too. One of the best he's ever done. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Levinson, who both wrote and directed Diner, the small, exquisitely realized comedy about growing up aimless in Baltimore, here seems to be at the service of other people's decisions. Though entertaining in short stretches, The Natural has no recognizable character of its own. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordLevinson doesn’t seem to care about redemption, guilt, or any of that other nonsense. He wants to make “the great American baseball hero movie.” He wants to say something about old neighborhoods and fathers and sons playing catch in the late summer evening. The cinematography is lush, the Randy Newman score is epic. The period detail and baseball scenes are top notch. |
| Buffalo NewsMichael FarrellThe allure of second chances speaks to anyone's hope for redemption, in any stage of their life. In The Natural, Roy Hobbs's second chance ... is realized at a stage when the character is inching toward the point of no return. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldAn otherwise fine sports fantasy is dragged down by an overindulgence in sentimentality. |
