Critic consensus:Delightful and strangely moving.

Numbered reviews:1. Gentle and amusing.
2. There are few animals on this planet more photogenic than camels, with their big expressive eyes, comically lumbering gait and ungainly humps.
3. It's astonishing, really, just how resonant and universal the young camel's struggle for its mother's affection is, not to mention how easily viewers can ascribe human emotions to the camels' behavior.
4. Mixing documentary and staged footage, [the] movie is irresistibly beguiling, in large part because of the simplicity of its story.
5. Part ethnographic study and part fable.
6. Just a little too slow moving for me.
7. An unusual, captivating and crowd-pleasing semi-documentary.
8. It has the cute quotient, but it does more than spur cries of 'Awww.' The film is a healthy dose of cultural enrichment.
9. [T]he truly hypnotic aspect of this austerely beautiful film is the exoticness of its landscape, both geographical and cultural.
10. It's a beautiful blend of documentary footage, dramatic tension and traditional storytelling, highlighted with social commentary and plenty of camel folklore.


Critic consensus:Capturing its stars and director at their finest, It Happened One Night remains unsurpassed by the countless romantic comedies it has inspired.

Numbered reviews:1. Instead of attempting a journalistic study of bus-travel, regularly punctuated by comic touches, Director Frank Capra and Robert Riskin who adapted Samuel Hopkins Adams' story, fused the two.
2. An old school classic.
3. As classy and charming a romantic comedy as you're ever likely to see...
4. Both stars loathed the experience yet turned in two of their most enduring performances.
5. A screwball comedy with charm and sass it established a template that countless films have followed down the decades.
6. It Happened One Night is pure delight.
7. Among the more gratifying phenomena of the current season has been the growing recognition of It Happened One Night, the Frank Capra production of last year, as one of the few potential classics of the recent cinema.
8. Still one of the best screwball comedies.
9. It Happened One Night is a good piece of fiction, which, with all its feverish stunts, is blessed with bright dialogue and a good quota of relatively restrained scenes.
10. It Happened One Night (1934) is one of the greatest romantic comedies in film history, and a film that has endured in popularity. It is considered one of the pioneering


Critic consensus:For better and for worse, Edge of Darkness offers vintage Mel Gibson, working within the familiar framework of a bloody revenge thriller.

Numbered reviews:
1. It's a middling comeback, tentative, wary of much, and a fascinating portrait of a Hollywood icon doing his best to tiptoe back into the audience's good graces. And Gibson, a blue-eyed charmer to the bitter end, almost manages it.
2. An uneasy translation, and while there's an undeniably perverse pleasure in watching Gibson mow down baddies once again, the film as a whole doesn't form a narrative convincing enough to support such action cinema luxuries.
3. The showdown with Gibson almost singlehandedly saves the movie -- almost
4. Gibson, who has always been an undervalued actor, does a sturdy job as a grieving dad who still engages in conversations with his dead child; it's almost a letdown when he puts aside his mourning sickness and spirals into melodrama.
5. Gibson roots Craven in credible middle-aged fatigue as if to prove he's a truer artist than his haters claim.
6. Gibson is a credible, attractive hero, as he has always been, so if you want fast-food action, here's your movie.
7. Kill someone's only child, and what do you have? You have a righteous avenger role almost too well-suited for Gibson's persona.
8. This is easily one of the best films of Mel Gibson's career and his performance is right on target.
9. Fairly solid thriller with a strong performance from Gibson and some nice directorial touches, though die-hard fans of the TV series are advised to steer clear.
10. Edge of Darkness has earned its January release date -- this movie deserves to be dumped into theaters with little fanfare.
