Thieves Like Us Ratings & Reviews
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Thieves Like Us" remains in line with other Altman offerings, but it's hard to grasp the purpose of its glacial pace, which strains dramatic engagement as cinematic indulgence tends to dominate the viewing experience.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
George Anderson
This poor man's Bonne and Clyde deals with a boring handful of two-bit bank robbers in Depression Mississippi. It is suitably depressing.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Judith Crist
It is, is, perhaps, the most demanding of his recent films -- but as always, the demands are justified and rewarding.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Robert Altman finds a sure, soft tone in this movie, from 1974, and he never loses it.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Ray's They Live by Night runs on fatalistic romanticism, Robert Altman's version is less noir fever than wry, drifting reverie
TV Guide
A 1930s crime story with humor and humanity.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
In many ways, Thieves Like Us is Altman's best work yet, his most stringent and evocative.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
At times unbearably objective.
Variety
Variety Staff
Thieves Like Us proves that when Robert Altman has a solid story and script, he can make an exceptional film, one mostly devoid of clutter, auterist mannerism, and other cinema chic.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A sleepy film about a motley collection of dim, but well-meaning failures. A perfect Altman film, in other words.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Great Altman film with strong work by Carradine and Duvall.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
a daffy mix of purposefully bad jokes and often aimless ponderings
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Captivating remake of Nicholas Ray's They Live By Night.
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
Each scene plays out with equal measure given to humor, pathos, eccentricity of character, the unpredictability of life, and the blundering work of getting through the day as a human being.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Altman's ironic deconstruction of the Hollywood "couple on the run" genre, with direct references to They Live By Night and Bonnie and Clyde
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It is full of things to think about, that hang in the memory like the details of a banal crime story on page 32, which, though read quickly, won't go away. Somehow you know that this happened.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Altman may not tell a story better than any one, but he sees one with great clarity and tenderness.
