- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Credit for the triumph of this picture must go to West German director Uli Edel, who works on a canvas as large as Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in America'"
-
"While this accomplished film holds you in its grip, it doesn't convince. The revelatory urgency that made Selby's book a literary scandal is long gone"
-
"Uli Edel and scriptwriter Desmond Nakano have transformed Selby's episodic book into an aesthetic whole that is greater than the sum of its parts."
-
"It will seem unbearable to many, but the film unflinchingly mirrors what Selby observed from the depths of his own alcoholic and drug-addicted youth in Brooklyn"
