Pros: Pretty shots of Venice; the thing finally ends Cons: Read the review
Random Stuff Happens: Don't Look Now (1973) Apparently some people lead such boring lives they can spend hour after hour examining certain movies and trying to detect the endless symbols built into them by a fellow film geek film director. This is ...
Pros: Excellent direction from Nicolas Roeg, fantastic peformances from Sutherland and Christie, and a challenging story make this one a winner Cons: may require too much thought for the average filmgoer

Pros: Skillfully crafted script; highly atmospheric settings in Gothic Venice; Donald Sutherland; chilling cinematography Cons: Slow at times; Julie Christie's passionless performance; promotion of irrationality
Here's a classic psychological thriller, from talented English director Nicolas Roeg. Historical Background: Nicolas Roeg is one of the most undervalued directors in cinema. Born December 15th, 1928, in London, Roeg developed an interest in ...
Pros: Creepy and haunting look at the aftermath of a tragedy ... Cons: If you can just stay with it (the pacing is a little slow at times) ...
Author’s note: I am but a humble participant in this write off with four of my favorite reviewers here, so if you read only one review, make it mine (kidding!). Seriously though, please be sure to check out the eloquent stylings of ZentropaJK,...
Beautifully shot, decent performance from Donald Sutherland
Cons:
I know this sounds dickheaded but I truly mean it when I say everything else.
Like many out there, I had heard nothing but rave reviews for this so-called fantastic supernatural thriller and was anxious when I finally got my hands on it. However, once I had finished watching it, my jaw dropped to the floor and found myself ...
Pros: compelling, breathtaking (and not because of scenery), imaginative, and I could keep going... Cons: NOT A THING!!!

Pros: First-rate performances, inventive editing, terrific photograpy Cons: The movie falters at its first vital moment, and descends into silliness in its last.

Pros: A thinking-man’s thriller, excellent script and performances. Absolutely gorgeous direction, editing, and cinematography. Cons: The movie is slow-moving at times. No DVD extras to get excited about.

A triumph of form over substance ...
I've now watched this film twice in the past week. I was afraid that I missed something the first time through -- after all, virtually all of the reviews I have read of this film are extremely laudatory,...
Here's one movie you won't forget anytime soon... It is a very strange and different kind of story with an amazing direction. The color red is omnipresent and it represents bad things... Everytime you see it, something bad happens.
