Editorial Reviews Included in the New York Times "10 BEST FILMS OF 1980" New York Times - p.II:15 - Vincent Canby (12/28/1980)
"...One of John Huston's most original, most stunning movies. It's so eccentric, so funny, so surprising and so haunting that it is difficult to believe it is not the first film of some enfant terrible..." New York Times - Vincent Canby (09/29/1979)
"It's a story that seeks to reconcile extremes without changing them, or losing the harshness of their clash." -- Grade: B+ A.V. Club - Keith Phipps (05/20/2009)
