Reviews for Taxi Driver
If you haven't seen Taxi Driver, your education in film hasn't even begun.

Get in and take a nightmare ride on perhaps Scorsese's best picture, the story of Vietnam vet Travis Bickle's fight to win the woman of his dreams in the seedy Big Apple.

Acclaimed for its gritty realism, but it has an equal amount of cinematic reverie.
10/09/06
The blend of Schrader's script, Scorsese's direction and De Niro's performance is both riveting and unnerving. A film that will stay with you forever.

Top Critic A grimy film that perfectly reflects its grimy subject matter. Travis Bickle [is] one of film's most complex characters. When you talk about super heroes, he truly is one minus the tights and powers.

Is Travis a hero or a monster? The question is never answered to any satisfying degree, and Herrmann's score makes sure of that by always playing up the counterpoint of a scene.

What a mad and brilliant film it is: 1,000-degree proof Seventies cinema.

New York may have changed, but Taxi Driver is as powerful and painful as ever.

Martin Scorsese's history-making scald is truly a phenomenon from another day and age. Which is to say, imagine a like-minded film of this decade killing at the box office and getting nommed for Best Picture.

Top Critic A compelling and unsettling film exploring many of the fears, aches and dislocations of contemporary urban life
01/18/04
A movie to educate us about life on darker sides of the soul, or steer us away from living that life. It draws us in with a conviction that makes us feel like we're living it.

You may want to argue with Taxi Driver at the end, and with good reason, but it won't be a waste of time.
