"Mastroianni’s midlife crisis is used to explore the complex interior life of man. Fellini’s masterpiece is effervescent, scary, and profound, transcending film itself."

"This is a superb and uncompromising adaptation of George V. Higgins’s bleak masterpiece of low-level criminality—and possibly Robert Mitchum’s finest performance."

"The whole series, start to finish. Like Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ and C.S. Lewis’s ‘Chronicles of Narnia,’ Rowling’s creation is a masterpiece of fantasy"

"A modern masterpiece. Utterly superior to almost everything published within the last 50 years. I won’t bother trying to describe it. Just go get it."

"A post-war masterpiece of European fiction—full of raw energy, rage, humor, and masterful prose. Bernhard is my favorite writer, and this is spectacular."

"A masterpiece visually and in so many ways, but also a tragedy as Charles Laughton only directed this one film. Robert Mitchum is so rivetingly magnetic."
