The dry, witty tone is set by Hays, diabetic and a double amputee, whose refusal to sentimentalize or bemoan the past makes this a very moving experience. - San Francisco Examiner

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) |
There's plenty at tension, some humor and a lot of polish, but, finally, it isn't any more memorable than your last fill-up at the service station. - San Francisco Examiner

Smash Palace (1981) |
Writer director Roger Donaldson traces the disintegration of their marriage with tense, compelling realism -- at least until the ambiguous final moment... Bruno Lawrence and Anna Jamison are first-rate. - San Francisco Examiner

Forsyth's first major release from Scotland, starring a delightful teenaged beanpole named Gordon John Sinclair, is a charming study in the sweet awkwardness of adolescence. - San Francisco Examiner

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
It's a magically wonderful movie. Children and adults will love Steven Spielberg's film about a person from outer space, stranded on earth. It's humorous and marvelous all the way. - San Francisco Examiner

Diva (1981) |
In his first feature-length film, director Jean-Jacques Beineix shows a fanciful, tongue-in-cheek talent for spoofing old mysteries, creating incongruously beautiful photographic images and mixing it all up with a touch of Zen. Delightfully original. - San Francisco Examiner

Director Wolfgang Petersen has rigorously discarded war movie clichés, both American and those of the Nazi regime, to show the very human fears and real courage of Germans who battled for, and lost, supremacy of the seas. - San Francisco Examiner

Annie (1982) |
On stage, Annie had ebullience every step of the way. It's more like flatulence in this overblown, mechanical, big-bucks production with out any grace or charm in its musical numbers. - San Francisco Examiner
