Review of Barfly (1987) by Gene Siskel for Chicago Tribune — 22 Aug 2017
O'Rourke acts way over the top; Dunaway is more effective because she seems more desperate. Both characters are the kind of people who want to be left alone. That's what you may feel like after you spend a few minutes with them in one long brawl after one long argument after one long soliloquy.
