Hackman gives the con-man lines a simple, straight-ahead urgency that makes the man first hilarious and then, as the pleasures of human company…

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

This is not a movie that wraps up its story in a tidy bow, but it's a lot more fun than most of the ones that do…

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 29 Jun 2012

Anderson's other hallmarks here are brilliant gags that deflate in the execution, potentially interesting characters that end up so flat they…

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Dana Stevens (1,435) for The New York Times (9,847) on 24 Jun 2011

At once endearing and unbearably show-offy, it seems to be the product of a sensibility formed by age-inappropriate reading…

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 24 Jun 2011

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Jun 2011

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 15 Feb 2010

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 Nov 2007
