Reviews & comments
Time Out
pressCoppola's recent viewing seems to have been German silent films of the '20s, so he has decided to coat the whole enterprise in a startling Expressionist style, which is very arresting but hardly appropriate to the matter in hand.
Time Magazine
pressIf Rumble Fish fails as a traditional movie about real people, it is beguiling as an exercise in hallucinatory style.
The New York Times
pressA number of the images in Rumble Fish are more memorable than the film is as a whole, sometimes for the wrong reasons.
Roger Ebert
pressThis is a movie you are likely to hate, unless you can love it for its crazy, feverish charm.
Empire Magazine
pressA bit too over-stylised to allow for any great involvement, the most interesting part of this is spotting the young actors before they became stars -- most notably nephew-of-the-director Nicolas Cage.
