Nick's Flick Picks
The Fountainhead is by turns exciting, handsome, astoundingly awkward, fully committed, untowardly relentless, very strange, and a little creepy in its compulsive watchability.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's the kind of dazzling film, shot in a fascinating German Expressionist style, that veers from being silly to being provocative.

Irresistibly campy Ayn Rand adaptation.

Soap opera at its finest...and glossy as a skyscraper. Coop and Neal sizzle.

Fairly good version of the book, brilliantly stylized

Kalamazoo Gazette
It remains one of the strangest and most florid pictures of its time, possibly of all time. It's also immensely enjoyable and startlingly steamy... a stylish, fascinating curio.
