"A too early masterpiece by Cassavetes. To me, it seems much more important than Shadows among his works, in that for the first time he shows his remarkable ability for very clear storytelling."

"They call this masterpiece ‘magical realism’, but I hate the label. Real it is, human and passionate and endlessly moving and compelling. It’s about family, relationships, fate, time. And ghosts. And solitude. Marvelous."

"The Usual Suspects was Bryan Singer’s masterpiece. It was such a great ensemble and such a smartly-told film. The twist at the end was just fantastic. That movie kicked so much ass."

"If this dry, hilarious, spooky existential vision had been subtitled in, let’s say, Iranian, would it have been better recognized for the masterpiece it is? Linklate’s sensibility is not so far from Kiarostami’s."

"While watching this masterpiece for the tenth time, I’ve rediscovered it as a classic tragedy, like a verist opera. I often return to these scenes, as if once again meeting a dear friend."

Rolling Stone's 157th greatest album of all time
Simply cannot be compared to any other album for sheer hard-hitting atmosphere and suppressed angst. Isolation is an absolute masterpiece of early 80s indie.

"William Wyler directed an American social realism masterpiece after his return from WWII. The camera breathes with these characters, and, through the filmmaker’s patience, we come to know these veterans’ alienation as our own."
