Nat comes off as flat-out crazy and more sad than amusing or heroic.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
50
Winning performances by Roger Rees and Mary McDonnell, as well as colorful Virginia locations, lift Crazy Like a Fox slightly above the TV-caliber script by its director.
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW
50
Mary McDonnell, as Nat's patient wife, provides too-brief clarity as Nat goes off the rails, finally taking the movie with him.
By Ann Hornaday FULL REVIEW
50
Written and directed by Richard Squires, Crazy Like a Fox provides Mr. Rees with the daftest role of a long and varied career.
FULL REVIEW
50
Whether you find the protagonist of Richard Squires's comedy-drama--a dangerous Confederate crackpot or an exemplar of principled defiance likely depends on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line you see the movie.
