      Virginia Heffernan Slate Having won nothing -- no pools -- I didn't black out. I lucidly enjoyed the night in the company of friends who are wonderful hosts, not least because they know the difference between wit and low blows when it comes to hooting at the TV screen. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review David Edelstein Slate The war didn't seem to be a problem for Steve Martin, who chose not to let it interfere with his jokes. Some of them were bracingly cynical, but most were witless and cruel. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A downbeat and disconcerting Oscar night, all in all, upstaged by a vast political event to which the movie-making classes were uncertain quite how to react. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Film Threat Staff Film Threat Highlights of the evening, besides Martin leading the show successfully, was Meryl Streep's tasteful tribute to Peter O'Toole. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Teo Bugbee MTV The night presents moments of political opportunity, moments when discord and individual dissent could have resulted in a divided audience, but every one of those moments of opportunity is met with a positivist herd mentality. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Deborah Hornblow Hartford Courant The 75th Academy Awards managed to speak to art and to the politics of war. It offered a reminder that movies can entertain and edify, document and invent, curse and forgive. Nov 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
