      Phil Strassberg Arizona Republic It's all so unconvincing and unreal, one believes that credibility is no longer in the lexicon of director Sidney Lumet. Mar 8, 2024 Full Review John Simon Esquire Magazine Sidney Lumet has directed with remarkably little feeling for the Texas landscape and how people fit into it -- understandably, I suppose, since he is a New York City boy and a dependably uninspired director. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Dick Lochte Los Angeles Free Press [Lovin' Molly] celebrates sentimentality. Yet it is neither maudlin, nor saccharine, nor something to be missed. Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Jacoba Atlas Los Angeles Free Press Blythe Danner is wonderful as Molly. Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Lackluster direction by Sidney Lumet. Rated: C Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
