Critic Reviews
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
"Bernie' isn't a monumental film, but it is a finely tuned character study with some nice innovations.
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Bernie has chuckles, but it's hardly riotous. And this is a good thing.
-
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
Propelled by a perfectly cast trio of stars whose eccentricities shine in singular character roles, Bernie is charmer.
-
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"Bernie" unfolds into many equally rich narrative strands: love story, southern Gothic slice-of-life and, finally tragedy and legal thriller...
-
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Linklater's a glider, not a pile-driver; he hangs back when other directors prefer to bore in.
