Reviews
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
jackbirkett Everyone rating it 10/10 so saying its a perfect film. I feel people do it to inflate their own ego to seem well educated and follow the same sort of rating system as the critics. Its got hammy acting and is very slow the film can be taken down to 20minutes
kinkaid-54403 First Noire film I have ever watched, growing up in a generation of coloured films and 3D! But never have I seen a movie remotely like Casablanca this is an absolute masterpiece, hands down the best movie I have ever seen.
realmahsarajabi Great movie. When they killed that prisoner I just couldn't stop thinking about the similarities between Nazis and Iran's regime.
robfwalter What I found most extraordinary about this film is the way it manages to engage right from the start. Within ten minutes, the plot had me enthralled, the characters had me emotionally committed and I was fascinated by the moral questions.How will Viktor Lazlo escape the Nazis? How complete is Rick's moral degradation? Is there any limit to the depravity of the Vichy regime's representative in Morocco? What happened in Paris between Rick and Ilsa? These questions are all addressed simultaneously as the action unfolds with hypnotic acting by both Bogart and Bergman and brilliantly tight plotting.Some of the other actors are not quite up to the standard of the leads, but I think this is the way films were made at the time, with broader acting by minor parts than we usually see in films today.So much of this film is now cliche, but that's because it defined modern Hollywood cinema and thus had a tremendous impact on Western culture. With some essential cultural artefacts, this ubiquity can make them seem a bit tired or over the top, but Casablanca is so perfectly pitched and moves along at such a wonderful pace that it transcends its own transcendence to be what Hollywood has always aspired to - pure entertainment.
