Movie Reviews

National Review - 10/10 by Armond WhiteThe Player, which Altman made after years of struggle, with all Hollywood fascination worn away, is Altman's dour version of Dante's Inferno. His satire forces us to realize the obscenity of Clinton-era corruption - once again.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonOne of the great motion pictures of the 1990s.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James KendrickAltman knew Hollywood, but The Player casts a much wider net by allowing the movie industry to stand in for the shark-eat-shark nature of modern business in general
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasAs definitive a film about modern Hollywood as "Sunset Boulevard" was in its time.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Andrea BeachNoir masterpiece has nudity, lots of strong language.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertA movie about today's Hollywood -- hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time.
The New Yorker - 10/10 by Terrence RaffertySo entertaining, so flip and so genially irreverent that it seems to announce the return of the great gregarious film maker whose "Nashville" remains one of the classics of the 1970's.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Rick GroenThis is the master at the top of his form, his erratic genius harnessed and everything clicking, everything flowing, a fresh creation from a mature artist.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanThe film is sublime entertainment, at once ticklish and suspenseful, cynical and sincere. By its very existence, Altman's comedy about the death of Hollywood lets you know that movies are still alive and kicking.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Gene SiskelThe film, which begins with a single, gorgeously sustained eight-minute camera move, is blissfully out of touch with contemporary trends in moviemaking...surprising, both in style and narrative.
