I have adored this film for so long, for what I believe to be obvious reasons; I feel a strong connection with Coquelicot, for better or worse—such a beautiful representation of what it means to combine true self knowledge, beauty, courage, sacrifice and love

Christian Kane is spectacular —the opening diner scene is riveting. Plot is not for the faint of heart or mind

A longtime New Yorker having retired to Michigan, I still maintain my annual ritual of seizing the hottest day of the summer, turning off the AC and watching “The Paper”—remembering my best, most challenging days in the city.

As one with intimate and professional knowledge of elite professional kitchens—and having worked on film sets—this is among the best projects I have ever seen. I am confident that the nay-sayers have absolutely NO idea of that which they reference

Great cast—Ryan Reynolds is particularly great

Not at all my usual fare; utterly surprising and darkly humorous

Denzel Washington’s performance is a study in pathos and well deserved vengeance

The best dark romance I have ever seen—I own it, and watch it frequently

I hated this series so much that I still find it infuriating that I got sucked in and then felt somehow obligated to watch all 6 excruciating seasons. That a cast of no fewer than 4 legendary actors would participate in such a relentlessly tasteless exercise in hyperbole made me feel betrayed by and embarrassed for them; this is how a quartet of iconic octogenarians were willing to taint their formidable legacies? I have never fast-forwarded past so many hackneyed, overheated and repetitive conversations in my life, not to mention the frequently cringeworthy subject matter ( and let me be clear: I am FAR from ever being considered prudish or homophobic; I am a gay, middle-aged woman with an urban, liberal background and a theatrical career). Don’t be fooled by the inexplicably positive reviews or you’ll find yourself sacrificing a week’s worth of time you’ll never get back, your admiration and affection for Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlinson forever damaged.
