3.5/5
"[It] impresses not just with the sheer weight of its actorly pedigree and length, but the wide, expressive gamut of emotions and lives that it puts on display."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

7/10
"Although Altman's masterful hands manage to keep our attention from the beginning till the end, Short Cuts doesn't deserve all of the praise received by the critics."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

"Sharp-edged drama set in Los Angeles that captures and conveys the contemporary malaise of soul-sickness."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"It's a genuine pleasure to find a movie with such a deep and intelligent portrayal of simple human lives, with all their minor triumphs and tragedies."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"Short Cuts lacks the sharp satire and excitement of The Player, but it's still a superior film."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

low +1 out of -4..+4
"There are several scenes of light comedy, warm humanity, or cold tragedy."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

4/4
"Robert Altman manages to make the separate units into a seamless whole, aided by an impressive ensemble cast."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

3/4
"Altman is still at the top of his brilliant abilities."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

"Short Cuts is deliberately fragmentary, laudable for its individual scenes and even more so for their cohesion."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
