"A Face in the Crowd...feels more relevant than ever, as its prescient commentary on television's effect on America's culture--and, most notably, its political sphere--has proven true ten times over in the decades since it was made."

"It's not a negative tale about corporate advantage-taking, though its release happens to coincide with the collapse of the American economy; blandly, it's a positive example of how, if all else fails, the American justice system still works."

"By expanding his story, which is essentially just a man dealing with his wife's fatal illness, into a triptych mescaline trip through space and time, Aronofsky uncovers more hard human truths than he'd have been able to through any one story alone."

"Though lamebrained and cockamamie from start to finish, the fine performances of the two leads, who aren't just phoning it in, hoists Fracture far above the level of comparable Halle Berry vehicles."

"The quintessential 80s slasher, complete with promiscuous, plastered, post-Carter pueriles getting their reactionary deserts...maintains an anchoring sense of driving logic--something that can't be said for so many of the horror movies that would follow.."

"None of the second film's sensible motivation [are present in] this entry's killings: Jason's murders here are illogical and indiscriminate, heralding what we would later be able to diagnose as Rob Zombie Syndrome."
