To be mad about the movies, must you be mad? Isn’t sitting in the dark, hooked on light, a little odd? The shrewdest thing to say about Pauline Kael – beyond recognising that she was essential – is that she was kind of crazy. Yet determined to seem rational or in control. She would have been 100 this year. That is a fanciful proposition, for she of...
Kael’s legendary essay-reviewabout Bonnie and Clyde was published in 1967 in the New Yorker. For a movie critic to read it now is to experience a mix of emotions: glee, euphoria, fascination, exhilaration and shame that you are not doing anything like as passionate and glorious in your own work. It is one of the greatest pieces of journalism or cri...
“Jane Fonda’s motor runs a little fast. As an actress, she has a special kind of smartness that takes the form of speed; she’s always a little ahead of everybody, and this quicker beat – this quicker responsiveness – makes her more exciting to watch. She has somehow got to a plane of acting at which even the closest closeup never reveals a false th...
“Repo Man is set in a scuzzy sci-fi nowhere: it was shot in the Los Angeles you see when you’re coming in from the airport – the squarish, pastel-coloured buildings with industrial fences around them, although they don’t look as if there could be much inside that needed to be protected. The action in the film takes place on the freeways and off-ram...
“Frank Capra’s most relentless lump-in-the-throat movie … In its own slurpy, bittersweet way, the picture is well done. But it is fairly humourless and, what with all the hero’s virtuous suffering, didn’t catch on with the public. Capra takes a serious tone here, though there’s no basis for the seriousness; this is doggerel trying to pass as art.” ...
“Robert Altman is almost frighteningly nonrepetitive. He goes out in a new direction each time, and he scores an astonishing 50% – one on, one off. M*A*S*H was followed by Brewster McCloud, and McCabe and Mrs Miller has now been followed by Images. I can hardly wait for his next movie.” Kael went to war against auteurist critics – famously, the lik...

Kael’s centenary was on 19 June 2019. She published I Lost It at the Movies in 1965, and her landmark review of Bonnie and Clyde, which helped revive the movie’s box-office fortunes and led to her job at the New Yorker, ran in October 1967.
Pauline Kael asserts that the comedy purposefully turns into violence in order to implicate the viewer, who will be harrowed when he realizes that crime isn't, after all, fun: "the whole point of Bonnie and Clyde is to rub our noses in it, to make us pay our dues for laughing." What Miss Kael neglects to admit is that we laugh only
