Critic Reviews of "The War of the Roses"
Chicago ReaderFebruary 11, 2008DeVito's taste for unorthodox camera angles and striking camera movements occasionally verges on overreaching but for the most part admirably serves the action.
VarietyFebruary 11, 2008Trying to wring yocks from a deranged couple locked in mortal combat over possession of their house is more suited to film noir than black comedy.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006De Vito's quirky camera angles and Kathleen Turner's steely-eyed spite inject a sadistic comic-strip madness into a film that for once has the nerve to see its nastiness through.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003DeVito's direction is distinctively odd (with a lot of low-angle shots looking up at things), enjoyably mischievous and always somehow mindful that there may be, at the heart of all this comic mayhem, something substantial going on.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001DeVito triumphs by instilling this caustic satire with truth and consequence.
Blu-ray.comSeptember 28, 2012Greatly amusing, but its lasting achievement is DeVito's atmospheric authority, shaping a genuine filmmaking triumph in style and mood that deserves a standing ovation.
Film4February 11, 2008One of the most durable -- and characteristic -- comedies of the 1980s.
Combustible CelluloidMay 26, 2006The film just keeps getting darker and more claustrophobic, like sliding down the center of a spiral.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)July 21, 2004Pretty good -- nice-looking -- black comedy with less copouts than usual.
TV GuideJuly 30, 2003DeVito exerts a control behind the camera that is otherwise almost nonexistent in contemporary American film comedy.
