The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)

Altman shakes the camera like a two-bit horror director, and it seems a different sort of signature - less masterful than weary, less signed than resigned. Zero-sum, indeed....read the complete Short Cuts (1993) review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)

Washington Post (Rita Kempley)
