"...This may be Nicholson's boldest performance. It's certainly one of his best..."Rolling Stone "...The power of this great movie -- part comedy, part tragedy, part satire, mostly masterpiece -- is in the details..." Entertainment Weekly "...Instead of flash, what Mr. Nicholson brings to his role is a sorrowful awareness of human complexity whose emotional depth matches anything he has done in the movies before..."
