Leave your thoughts about The Razor's Edge.
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe Razor's Edge never quite reaches its destination but there are all manner of minor pleasures to be gleaned along the way. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAt the end I didn't feel engaged. I didn't feel that the hero's attention had been quite focused during his quest for the meaning of life. He didn't seem to be a searcher, but more of a bystander, shoulders thrown back, deadpan expression in place, waiting to see if life could make him care. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe Razor's Edge gives us the quintessential '80s sensibility, Bill Murray, indulging a nostalgia for the '60s masquerading as the '20s. An adaptation of the novel by W. Somerset Maugham, this longtime pet project of Murray's will only disappoint his many fans. |
| Washington PostRita KempleySlow, overlong and ridiculously overproduced. |
| User ReviewDawdlingPoetI enjoyed this film - its a bit predictable perhaps but I felt I could relate to the main, titular character. I liked the characters and I liked how Carrie dealt with situations and the suggestions of her therapist. Its not exactly an amazing film but its a quietly decent film, as coming of age films about introverts are concerned. Its not especially memorable as such perhaps but I enjoyed it and I particularly liked the father daughter relationship with Carrie (played well by Bel Powley) and her dad, only known as Mr. Pilby, played by Gabriel Byrne. |
