      Jeet Heer Retweeted Sam Rosenfeld

      This is an amazing review. Among other things, it says that the "extraordinary feast" of Puzo's novel has been sucked dry by the movie. That is not, to put it mildly, true.https://twitter.com/sam_rosenfeld/status/1525209654682439680 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Sam Rosenfeld

      Right-wing film criticism -- Michael Medved, Richard Greiner, John Podhoretz, even John Simon -- is a pretty dire genre (I'll make an exception for Douthat and White). But Buckley really takes the cake. This is the worst review ever writtenhttps://twitter.com/sam_rosenfeld/status/1525209654682439680 …

          Maybe he wrote that in 1992. Something online messed up the date stamp on Google.

          Medved is in a league of his own review wise. One often wonders if he even saw the same movie everyone else did

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          This is only true if you exclude Armond White, who has probably written a worse review in the last 24 hours.

          Armand White rules because he seems legitimately insane and thus fascinating

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          I don't know that it's the worst review ever. But it is emblematic of conservatism being unable to grasp two things at once: that style and substance can work hand in hand. Buckley is substance no style, today's GOP is style no substance.

          Replying to @SymposiumSilver @HeerJeet

          it's also clear he can't deal with things not being literal. He can't grasp the idea that something is being contrasted: the way they think and hold themselves with the brutal violence of reality. Buckley can't grasp that this is meant to convey meaning and ideas.

          The line about Sicily... does he really think that the whole Apollonia story line was about a hale and healthy Old World Catholic marriage?
