Review of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) by Gene Siskel for Chicago Tribune — 15 Feb 2004
I have written elsewhere that love stories seem to be in short supply these days, as they have been in the last decade of American movies. . . . But the hunger for love on the screen is there, and director Spielberg gives it to us in "E.
T.," and because the lovers are a little boy and a little creature, we accept it. Of such simple concepts, timeless entertainments are made.
