Review: 's most substantial feature for some time 
Sentiment: positive

Review: ( caine ) proves once again he has n't lost his touch , bringing off a superb performance in an admittedly middling film . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: 's ... worth the extra effort to see an artist , still committed to growth in his ninth decade , change while remaining true to his principles with a film whose very subject is , quite pointedly , about the peril of such efforts 
Sentiment: positive

Review: contrived and secondhand 
Sentiment: negative


Review: a mimetic approximation of better films
