    Jeet Heer Retweeted The New Republic

    Aside from The Godfather, Stanley Kauffmann also panned 2001, Star Wars, Grease, Raiders of Lost Ark, Psycho, virtually every Coen Bros. movie, and much more.https://twitter.com/newrepublic/status/1528523059115790338 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    The New RepublicVerified account @newrepublic
    "Corleone has no moments of outburst—the Brando trademark, the leap of flame out of menacing quiet—so his dominance has to come from imagination; muscled by concentration." Stanley Kauffmann didn't think highly of "The Godfather" in 1972: https://newrepublic.com/article/101783/the-godfather-decline-marlon-brando?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=EB_TNR&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1653082334-1 …

        An amazing record. I encouraged TNR to play up his contrarian takes. Still, on the whole, a very lucid and observant critic.

        In his defense, he was one of the few critics to hate Crash right away.

        In fairness, Grease was a terrible movie.

        It was always kind of fun to grab a stack of New Republica at the library and read his cranky reviews.

        It’s hysterical that you lug the Coen brothers into this. Your audience will go “yes, yes, yes, NO! Not Joel and Ethan!”
