Review of Midnight Cowboy (1969) by Marjorie Baumgarten for Austin Chronicle — 19 Nov 1994
This multi-Oscar-winner nails its characters, time period, and locale so perfectly that it becomes even more compelling as time goes by. Fueled by two riveting character studies and its exposure of New York City's seamy underbelly, the movie screams “contemporary” and “eternal” at once.
..It's one of those rare movies that comes together just about perfectly, so check out this theatrical release while you can.
