      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 …

      Are people aware of William F. Buckley's review of THE GODFATHER? It's something! "...will be as quickly forgotten as it deserves to be." pic.twitter.com/ivPranIBBa

      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 …

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          What I take from the first paragraph is that Buckley would have been a very big fan of the me-too movement.

          knowing WFB defended Errol Flynn on statutory rape charges really explains some stuff in my book

          Any headline that ends with a question mark is pure unalloyed horseshit.

          I chuckle then cringe every time WFB is called an intellectual.
