Tribune Critics are pay-walled- meh but you can access them through Proquest- ha HA!


from a review by Manohla Dargis-The Man With the Iron Fists

This is a movie as drenched in genre love as it is in the arterial spray from its hordes of sliced and diced characters.
from A.O Scott's review of Lincoln-
The smaller, plainer America of the mid-19th century is evoked by the brownish chiaroscuro of Janusz Kaminski’s cinematography, by the mud, brick and wood of Rick Carter’s production design and by enough important facial hair to make the young beard farmers of 21st-century Brooklyn weep tears of envy.
 Music- Rolling Stone               Paste               Pitchfork             AV Club
