Richard Brody New Yorker De Palma offers a self-conscious time capsule of downtown sights and moods, especially in his rambunctious, hilarious, yet nonetheless disturbing parodies of public television. May 30, 2016 Full Review Eric Henderson Slant Magazine The most Hitchcockian riff that De Palma ever examined is the capacity for the human psyche to harbor intense, complicated divergence. Rated: 4/4 Jun 11, 2004 Full Review Sean Burns Crooked Marquee One of the most audacious things I’ve ever seen. Oct 28, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Hi, Mom! suffers from an almost painfully meandering and off-the-wall vibe that grows more and more infuriating as time slowly progresses. Rated: 1/4 May 3, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Now considered valued mostly as a relic. Rated: B- May 31, 2011 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Brian De Palma's joke, in its manifold aspects, roasts the counterculture's navet regarding cinema as "truth 24 frames per second" Feb 12, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

william k Another early De Palma satire this time around has a more focused narrative with Robert De Niro as its main protagonist, better, if not always good humor and some imaginative sequences.
