Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"It finds writer-director Schrader once again in a reflective frame of mind, pondering the limits of punishment while blurring the line between expiation and self-destruction." - 09/02/2021 Hollywood Reporter


"In THE CARD COUNTER, the writer-director Paul Schrader moves into this genre with consummate ease and skill." - 09/02/2021 Variety


4 stars out of 5 -- "The three characters are an odd trio, beautifully played. The exuberant Haddish underplays with brilliance, while Sheridan keeps Cirk earnestly appealing in spite of his homicidal intentions." - 09/02/2021 RogerEbert.com


"[A] haunting, moving story of spirit and flesh, sin and redemption, love and death..." - 09/09/2021 New York Times


"THE CARD COUNTER, Paul Schrader’s new movie, gives him plenty of headspace to self-examine, literalizing his psyche in the confines of multiple hotel rooms and, at other points in his life, jail cells..." - 09/23/2021 Rolling Stone


4 stars out of 5 -- "[The film] reaffirms Schrader as a master of stories involving morally ambiguous men concealing ready-to-erupt inner lives." - 11/01/2021 Empire


"What truly makes the film is its paced, tempered restraint and reserve, with only occasional discreet flashes of the satire that you might expect in depictions of the gambling scene." - 12/03/2021 Sight and Sound
