Reviews for Miller's Crossing
Substance is here in spades, along with the twisted, brilliantly controlled style on which filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen made a name.
11/06/07
Top CriticIt takes place in an artificial world constructed largely from the mythology of other movies, and, though it's both seamless and stylish, some find it a little too self-conscious for its own good.
11/06/07
It never fully convinces in terms of either period or plot.
11/06/07
Top CriticThe Coens' take on Depression-era gangster flicks, looks gorgeous and showcases John Turturro's best acting ever.
08/14/07
Top CriticLoosley based on Hammett's novel and Chicago's Capone-O'Bannion gang war, the film is more impressive visually than thematically, though new angle of placing Irish, Italian, and Jewish gangsters in the same tale is intriguing.
12/27/06
It's arguably the US mainstream's first art movie since Days of Heaven; and quite wonderful.

Perhaps the best the Coens have to offer -- stylish, funny, harrowing and brilliantly shot.
10/13/05
The Coens play this icy gangster tale mostly straight, but they can't help throwing in a few of their dark, comic explosions; it's one of their best, most cohesive films and it holds up to repeated viewings.
09/18/05
Um dos melhores trabalhos dos Coen (e isto é um baita elogio), o filme conta um roteiro muito bem amarrado, atuações intensas e um visual fabuloso.

The story isn't the film's major draw anyway...it's the look.
