Leave your thoughts about The Stunt Man.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottThe Stunt Man is a bravura piece of moviemaking — a true popular work of modernist art. It makes the audience experience the uncertainty of the contemporary world in a visceral, often hilarious way. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe best film ever made about the movies. O'Toole is brilliant |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineIt remains one of my all-time favourites. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenO'Toole plays his seductive, grand, and dangerous director part as if this might be the role he wants to be remembered for. |
| VarietyVariety StaffO'Toole is excellent in his best, cleanest performance in years. |
| Parallax ViewSean AxmakerIt's one of the great movies about the movies and a devious exploration of trust in the line between art and life. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneAt the 1980 San Francisco Film Festival, François Truffaut was asked to name his favorite director. He replied, 'I don't know his name, but I just saw his picture last night. It's called The Stunt Man.' |
| The DissolveNathan RabinIt’s a carnivalesque lark whose brevity and gravity are both attributable to the remarkable, pitch-perfect performance of O’Toole. |
| Associated PressLinda DeutschThe Stunt Man is a brilliant feat of cinematic legerdemain, creating an illusory world in which nothing is what it seems. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyRichard Rush's inventive narrative about the blurred lines between movie reality and factual reality is vastly entertaining, boasting Peter O'Toole in a diabolical, delicious Oscar-nominated performance. |
