Professional Reviews |
| Professional Reviews | Schickel, Richard, New York Times Book Review: "I am not certain just what Miss Kael thinks she lost at the movies, but it was assuredly neither her wit or her wits. Her collected essays confirm what those of us who have encountered them separately over the last few years, mostly in rather small journals, have suspected--that she is the sanest, saltiest, most resourceful and least attitudinizing movie critic currently in practice in the United States. Whether she is closely examining a new movie or engaging in a pungent polemic against some narrow school of critical writing, as she does in her long introduction (a brilliant situation report on the current cinematic scene), she almost always manages to live up to her own high standards of critical craftsmanship." |
