CRITICS OF "The War of the Roses"

Combustible Celluloid

The film just keeps getting darker and more claustrophobic, like sliding down the center of a spiral.

May 26, 2006

Resource

Variety

Trying to wring yocks from a deranged couple locked in mortal combat over possession of their house is more suited to film noir than black comedy.

February 11, 2008

Resource

Blu-ray.com

Greatly amusing, but its lasting achievement is DeVito's atmospheric authority, shaping a genuine filmmaking triumph in style and mood that deserves a standing ovation.

September 28, 2012

Resource

Washington Post

[A] deliciously jaundiced perspective on matrimony.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Film4

One of the most durable -- and characteristic -- comedies of the 1980s.

February 11, 2008

Resource

Empire Magazine

Wildly funny and deeply disturbing.

February 11, 2008

Resource

TV Guide

DeVito exerts a control behind the camera that is otherwise almost nonexistent in contemporary American film comedy.

July 30, 2003

Resource

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Pretty good -- nice-looking -- black comedy with less copouts than usual.

July 21, 2004

Rolling Stone

DeVito triumphs by instilling this caustic satire with truth and consequence.

May 12, 2001

Chicago Reader

DeVito's taste for unorthodox camera angles and striking camera movements occasionally verges on overreaching but for the most part admirably serves the action.

February 11, 2008

Time Out

De Vito's quirky camera angles and Kathleen Turner's steely-eyed spite inject a sadistic comic-strip madness into a film that for once has the nerve to see its nastiness through.

January 26, 2006

Resource

New York Times

DeVito's direction is distinctively odd (with a lot of low-angle shots looking up at things), enjoyably mischievous and always somehow mindful that there may be, at the heart of all this comic mayhem, something substantial going on.
