A hilarious and moving story.
(Variety)
The mask of frenetic cliche doesn't spoil moments of pure reporting on people in extremity.
(New Yorker)
There is plenty of Lumet's vital best here in a film that at least glancingly captures the increasingly garish pathology of our urban life.
(Jack Kroll)
Brisk, humorous and alive with urban energies and angers fretting through the 92 degree heat.
(Sight and Sound)
Full of galvanic mirth rooted in human desperation.
(Michael Billington, Illustrated London News)
