Clint Eastwood raises hell and finds his heart of darkness.
August 25, 2005
A fascinating character study about masculinity and the movies.
August 30, 2004
This material marks a gutsy, fascinating departure for Mr. Eastwood, and makes it clear that his directorial ambitions have by now outstripped his goals as an actor.
March 17, 2004
Slow-moving but gently engrossing.
October 27, 2008
An ambitious and intriguing project that never amounts to anything more than the sum of its parts--a trait shared by many of Eastwood's other major project as an independent filmmaker, Bird.
January 15, 2005
One of Eastwood's finest achievements.
October 27, 2008
Especially for those who have pegged Clint Eastwood too quickly as a masculine traditionalist, White Hunter, Black Heart is a movie to conjure with.
March 16, 2007
Interesting, but a bit pretentious
January 28, 2004
A devastating portrait of self-deceiving obsession, and a notable improvement on Viertel's book in terms of economy and focus.
June 30, 2008
An intelligent, affectionate study of an obsessive American film director...
December 29, 2014
Eastwood's subject is wasted lives and wasted talent; Wilson's charisma and Hollywood's money prove irresistible, and their sheer power brings noteworthy results-but they emerge from a needless vortex of ruin.
January 26, 2006
Ably aided by a fine cast and Jack Green's no-nonsense photography, Eastwood constructs a marvellously pacy, suspenseful movie which is deceptively easy on both eye and ear.
