Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalle[Lange's] allure is staggering. If you've never seen her in this film - if you've never seen the young Jessica Lange, except in "Tootsie" - prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Jay ScottBoth leads excel at showing a true feeling (be it love or lust) but both covered in the guilty angst that one will betray the other. Edge of your seat stuff.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA heated-up drama about sexual passion and obsession.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Judith MartinThe disconnect between Rafelson’s low-key style and Cain’s hard-boiled storytelling is jarring at times.
Time - 7/10 by Richard CorlissThe film's steamy sex scenes—especially the first, which takes place in the kitchen among foods and utensils as elemental as love and death-will raise eyebrows and temperatures...Like Last Tango in Paris, Rafelson's Postman shows what his doomed lovers do but does not tell who they are. Their willful sex scenes are explicit and incandescent; their motivations are elliptical smoke signals viewed from the other side of Death Valley.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Peter AckroydBecause there is no consistency of character, and therefore of meaning, the plot lurches around, to the evident bewilderment of the audience; the closing scenes are a terrible mess.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertAn absolutely superb mounting of a hollow and disappointing production. It shows a technical mastery of filmmaking, and we are dazzled by the performances, the atmosphere, the mood of mounting violence. But by the second hour of the film we've lost our bearings: What is this movie saying about its characters? What does it feel and believe about them? Why was it necessary to tell their stories?
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyNot as good as the original, but not entirely dismissable
The New York Times - 5/10 by Vincent CanbyMiss Lange is not a bad actress, but her miscasting is fatal to the picture and exemplifies its tiresomely genteel artfulness.
User Review - 10/10 by Conner RWhen youâ??re trying to find a true Neo-Noir, this is hard to beat. Not only does it keep the safe feel and raunchy plotline as most Film Noirs of the late 30s and 40s, but itâ??s also a very well composed re-imagining of one. David Mamet beautifully adapts a decent script into a complete masterwork. It has all the great ingredients that make people love the movies. The look of the film is amazing as well, with a lot of great period sets, costumes and cars. You also get a real sense that youâ??re there with these characters. Bob Rafelson does another great job at directing flawless performances and capturing humans at their best and at their worst. I donâ??t think you can get better than Jack Nicholson when it comes to shady characters, he captures Frank Chambers perfectly. While you ultimately side with him and relate to his views, he truly is a vile person. What makes it great is Jack Nicholsonâ??s deranged sense of charm, which surprisingly works every time. Jessica Lange also gives quite possibly her best performance, definitely the most natural sheâ??s ever been. What I love most about this movie is the fact that the story is so incredibly fun and you become so invested with these two characters who want nothing but trouble. I think itâ??s great when a film can make you side with the villains, most of the time theyâ??re the most interesting ones anyway. Even through all their bad deeds, they still manage to engage you and make you fall in love with them.
