Movie Reviews

Greenwich Village Gazette - 10/10 by Eric LurioBetter than it should be, but doesn't work well with repeated viewings.
Moviehole - 10/10 by Clint MorrisOne of the funniest films of the Reagan-era
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonHoffman is magnificent in his dual role, though it's Bill Murray who stealthily steals scenes.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James Kendricka wonderful movie, full of warmth and good humor balanced with both farcical silliness and level-headed recognition of certain social truths about the sexes we often want to ignore
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Chuck BowenThe film, as a whole, isn’t quite up to the phenomenal dexterity of its lead’s exertions. But there’s a legitimate reason people love this movie so much: Pollack syphoned Hoffman’s ecstatic electricity off into a popular and old-fashioned romantic-comedy formula, bringing it back to life. Tootsie is a remarkably gentle and human pop movie that informs the term “escapism” with an almost cleansing sense of decency.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyTootsie is the best thing that's yet happened at this year end. It's a toot, a lark, a month in the country.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA rousing comedy that deals with the agonies and ecstasies of the acting profession, the confusion of sexual roles, and the importance of lovers being friends.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Ari KarpelSometimes a movie’s turmoil isn’t a sign of impending doom so much as one of impending brilliance.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliTootsie works for three reasons: a sharp screenplay, good comic timing, and delightful performances.
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Bill CosfordThe tone is quick-witted and appealing, with some of the smartest dialogue this side of Billy Wilder, and a wonderfully sure-footed performance from Jessica Lange (as her/his girlfriend). But the film never comes within a thousand miles of confronting its own implications: Hoffman's female impersonation is strictly on the level of Dame Edna Everage, and the script's assumption that 'she' would wow female audiences is at best ridiculous, at worst crassly insulting to women.
