Hoffa (1992) 52% EDIT “Danny De Vito's Hoffa is artfully constructed, masterfully played, and travels at speeds beyond the prescriptive norm.” – The New York Review of Books Aug 14, 2018 Full Review American Dream (1990) 100% EDIT “[Kopple's] gift is to make us feel almost as kin to the few who quit as to the many who stuck it out. There is no cruelty quite like that which gives a man or woman no choice except the surrender of dignity for a job or of a job for dignity.” – The New York Review of Books Aug 13, 2018 Full Review The Inner Circle (1991) 50% EDIT “The Inner Circle's intention is... heroic, and its achievement admirable.” – The New York Review of Books Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Do the Right Thing (1989) 92% EDIT “Art cannot be art unless its hero has an antagonist worthy of him. Mookie is unfit for the challenge, simply because, if Sal is not without his flaws, Mookie is without anything else.” – The New York Review of Books Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Prince of the City (1981) 93% EDIT “A model instance of the movie that insists on being a film and proceeds inevitably to assault our common sense with the counterfeit of a moral lesson.” – The New York Review of Books Apr 4, 2018 Full Review
