The Great Santini Ratings & Reviews
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
... has a literally commanding Duvall at the center of it.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This is one of those special films that moves effortlessly between tension, tears, and laughs ... Robert Duvall's performance runs neck-and-neck with his Lonesome Dove turn as his career best.
Philadelphia Gay News
Larry Vitacco
By all means, see The Great Santini, one of the most rewarding film experiences this or any other year.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Two-dimensional and minor.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
An emotionally devastating drama with a first rate performance from Robert Duvall.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Robert Duvall and Michael O'Keefe turn in powerful, Oscar nominated performances in this familiar family melodrama about tyrannical marine-father who bullies his sensitive son so that he can become a real man.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
Brilliant.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Great Santini is a movie to seek out and to treasure.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Duvall as rough, tough Marine in downer story of family conflict
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Fantastic performances by Duvall and O'Keefe highlight this father-son tug-of-war.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The Great Santini is a convincing portrait of the battles between a military man and his coming-of-age son.

Offers a whole lot more than just Duvall's flawless performance.
