Review of The Killing Fields (1984) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 19 May 2000
One of the risks taken by The Killing Fields is to cut loose from that tradition, to tell us a story that does not have a traditional Hollywood structure, and to trust that we'll find the characters so interesting that we won't miss the cliché.
It is a risk that works, and that helps make this into a really affecting experience.
