Leave your thoughts about The Wanderers.
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...at once dramatic, funny, tense, exciting, violent, romantic, corny, and in its own contorted way, uplifting, with Kaufman's camera always in motion. |
| NewsweekJack KrollThe Wanderer can turn an anxious tone to creepy and phantasmagoric. Kaufman's brilliant camera work relies on the exaggerated style of comic books, and the visual energy throughout is gritty. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottWhat revs up the movie and keeps it humming is the driving energy of early rock, with its innocent/rebellious spirit, and its theme that teens must find their own ways to love and fight. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasWorth a look, if only for the surreal groupings of the gangs (The Wongs, the Del Bombers and the Fordham Baldies...that's right, they're bald). |
| TimeFrank RichBy grafting stylistic affectations onto an otherwise naturalistic movie, Kaufman blunts the raw power that, is The Wanderers' greatest asset. Like his characters, he would have fared far better if he had stopped showing off and practiced a little self-control. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaConsegue traçar um retrato nostálgico de uma época em que até mesmo as gangues ainda tinham certa inocência. |
