(1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   "'Playtime' is a very smart and well-executed film, one of those rare stories that makes you think and chuckle at the same time."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari A+ "It's much like a silent movie, following in the giant footsteps of Chaplin and Keaton."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/4 "Sure, Tati's script may have been small, but there's such depth of content in each setup."   Slant Magazine   Eric Henderson 88/100 "Tati mimics American idealism with the tour bus women's 'golly-gee, wow!' attitude, and isn't any easier on the French's to-do, prim-and-proper persona."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz 4/4 "simple, yet profound, observations of human life in the increasingly alienating modern world"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "[Playtime] is so richly conceived and choreographed that its lack of a plot is compensated by a wealth of memorable incidents, sight gags, gestures and satiric notions."   Film Threat   Phil Hall "Playtime is an adamant vision whose failure is integral to its philosophy. It is a befitting fate that Tati’s art was not endorsed by popularity."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor "A film comedy directed with the grace of a ballet, the painstaking detail of an action painting and the affection of a love song..."   Turner Classic Movies Online   Sean Axmaker "One of those rare films that has earned a following through its architecture"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Shane Burridge  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
