Maybe I'm Nuts


This film does have a decent IMDB rating, but when I polled around the various reviews on MRQE, a whole LOT of critics panned this film.

I, otoh, think it's a minor classic. So, some cognitive dissonance here, because I tend to think critics might have their own preferences, etc., but many, a seeming majority of them just imo missed the quality of the writing/execution/narrative heft in this film.

I expect DLU is viewed a more favorably in a decade or so. Some films have to age to be fully appreciated.

Something slightly apropos on my subject, re: Dr. Strangelove :

Agree or disagree ?
