In Reply to: Pauline Kael set the standard for film criticism... posted by gware on April 7, 2002 at 18:33:08:
Read Roger Ebert's dissection of the film. He's the only critic I've read who had a kind word for it, Oates' performance excepted. And yes, the film is over the top but I think it's appropriate. The Oates character is desperate and gets more desperate by the minute. Plus, he may not be totally sane but he is certainly more sane than those who know he has the head and are after him to get it. Notice how Oates starts talking to the head in the bag? I won't spoil it for you by saying any more.Enjoy!
