"A MERCILESS MASTERPIECE.
If you are unfamiliar with Kind Hearts and Coronets, the question is not whether making the trip to Film Forum to see it is worth your while. The question is how stiff a penalty should be levied upon you by the City of New York should you fail to do so. My personal view is that a brief prison sentence would not be too harsh.
There really is no excuse."
— Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
