Review of The King of Comedy (1982) by Vincent Canby for New York Times — 19 May 2003
It would be difficult to describe Martin Scorsese's fine new film, The King of Comedy, as an absolute joy. It's very funny, and it ends on a high note that was, for me, both a total surprise and completely satisfying.
Yet it's also bristly, sometimes manic to the edge of lunacy and, along the way, terrifying.
