They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) 82% EDIT “In They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, agony, pain, endurance are not in the bodies of the actors nor somehow mysteriously evoked by their images. Instead, they remain locked in the camera, mechanical, the product not of human knowledge but of technology.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review The Knack... and How to Get It (1965) 72% EDIT “The Knack is very funny. Richard Lester, its director, is an original talent with a sense of this very minute.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review The Collector (1965) 81% EDIT “William Wyler's gloss is everywhere on the film. It is sure, professional, satisfactory as a production, and yet the whole feeling is one of gloss. The grainy, worn surface of this pitiless drama hardly ever exposes itself to us.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Nobody Waved Goodbye (1964) 75% EDIT “Nobody Waved Goodbye is beautifully done in a plain way. It does not strive for the excitement of art so much as for the satisfactions of accuracy.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Lonely Boy (1962) EDIT “The movie I've enjoyed the most recently is a surprising short film called Lonely Boy. Still, it is with uncertainty that I use the word "enjoy" about this sneaky look at the national psyche.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Finnegans Wake (1965) EDIT “Something of the flow of life is certainly caught for us, but it could hardly be said that the film is a "success." We honor, instead, an attempt that perhaps could not succeed.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review The Outrage (1964) 20% EDIT “This is one of the most inept movies in memory. The dialogue is a buzz of clichés, the conception throughout vulgar and uninspired.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Of Human Bondage (1964) 50% EDIT “[A] desperate [remake]... Old, vicious Bette Davis and weak, love-enslaved Leslie Howard hover, ghosts on the TV screen.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review The Luck of Ginger Coffey (1964) EDIT “The whole is a moving naturalistic film.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Nutty, Naughty Chateau (1964) EDIT “Very mannered, very elegant, and very foolish.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Ship of Fools (1965) 63% EDIT “Each scene in Ship of Fools is interesting enough. What one misses most is a sense of history, that devastation of the thirties and forties toward which the ship of fools and its cargo are steaming.” – Vogue Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Zorba the Greek (1964) 79% EDIT “Zorba the Greek is quite a bad film. Its manifold falsehoods are of the most inflated sort and every fatigued cliché masquerades as a zestful truth.” – Vogue Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Nothing But a Man (1964) 98% EDIT “Throughout, the acting is brilliant, and in the main roles Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln give the sure and richly imagined performances that movie stars no longer understand.” – Vogue Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Gimme Shelter (1970) 93% EDIT “There is death everywhere, and of every sort, in the dead, drugged eyes and in the jostling, nervous kicks and shoves. Everyone is a danger to himself and to others.” – The New York Review of Books Mar 14, 2018 Full Review Ice (1970) 82% EDIT “In Ice there is a deliberate lack of art, decoration, plot, characterization. All of these elements are missing and in their place is revolutionary dedication.” – The New York Review of Books Mar 14, 2018 Full Review
