FULL REVIEW
80
The madness of Holocaust survivors is here played mainly for dark comedy. The film's dazzling central performance in a mental institute finds Jeff Goldblum in the role of his career.
By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW
75
In a stunning lead performance, Goldblum stars as a brilliant, apolitical jester.
By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW
60

By Todd McCarthy FULL REVIEW
