The Last Tycoon Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Kazan's work seems to be a reaction against the shrill energy he has sometimes used to keep a picture going. He's trying something quiet and revelatory, but he seems to have disowned too much of his temperament.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The Last Tycoon may be a mild curiosity because of both Fitzgerald and Thalberg but it's not a good film.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Among 1976 releases set in Hollywood's golden past, it may not be as good as Peter Bogdanovich's underrated Nickelodeon but it bests Gable and Lombard and Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
No one would know, but what remains from the book is inevitably disjointed nad inconclusive. [Full review in Spanish]
Harper's Magazine
Stephen Koch
The Last Tycoon is a beautiful and interesting failure precisely because it lacks confidence and energy, because it substitutes the uncertain beauties of nostalgia and style for whatever inventiveness was required to fulfill its promise.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
It has all been put together with such taste and intelligence by Spiegel and Kazan that for all of its problems, it's probably the best all around movie from a Fitzgerald work yet made.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
For the sake of Fitzgerald's memory, The Last Tycoon will be the last effort to cinematize the author.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
The Last Tycoon is an intriguing entry to the period gangster genre that depicts the weight of triad influence in 1930s Shanghai at the cusp of war with an invading Japan.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Kazan's rigid directing kills the spontaneity of nearly every cast member.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a film that takes Hollywood too seriously and seems to worship with piety at its altar, but was too awkwardly presented to mean much.
Variety
Producer Sam Spiegel's contribution is admirable, but Elia Kazan's direction of the Pinter plot seems unfocussed though craftsmanlike. Robert De Niro's performance as the inscrutable boy-wonder of films is mildly intriguing.
TV Guide
Fitzgerald's unfinished novel transfers awkwardly to the screen but is saved from oblivion by that always-fascinating actor De Niro.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The movie is full of echoes. We watch it as if at a far remove from what's happening, but that too is appropriate: Fitzgerald was writing history as it happened.
Apollo Guide
Jamie Gillies
Out of place and not quite interesting enough to hold our attention, which is a disappointment, because it has many of the elements that can make for greatness.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Elia Kazan now admits that he directed this adaptation, his last Hollywood film, for the money. Unfortunately, it looks it.
