Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Sporadically engaging, Milos Forman's chronicle of American society and culture in the beginning of the twentieth century is too sprawling and dramatically diffuse, though some of the acting is excellent.

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Great to see very late Cagney in solid Milos Forman film.
-
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
a jumbled and largely uninteresting mess
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A robust screen adaptation of Doctorow's novel about class warfare, social change, and the gap between the rich and the poor
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Fine, sprawling period piece. A great swan song for Cagney.
