Review of Midnight Cowboy (1969) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 04 Apr 1983
The acting, showy and instinctual, is most of the movie; the visual style is too forced and chicly distended to let the drama acquire much natural life of its own. It's a film that expresses a great deal of disgust toward homosexuals, while placing a sympathetic homosexual relationship at its core.
