The Last Picture Show (15)

Drama

The critical consensus

Still as stunning now as it was in 1971.

Philip Kemp, Total Film, 31/03/2011

Peter Bogdanovich’s eerie homage to olden times and movies, one of the key Hollywood films of the early 1970s, looks ever more crisply stunning and remote.

Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 14/04/2011

One of the all-time great American elegies.

Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 15/04/2011

Unmissable.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14/04/2011

Bogdanovich's masterpiece

Philip French, The Observer, 17/04/2011

Novel at the time, it’s still as gutsy and poignant today.
