This one seethes with authentic nostalgia; Wilder's attempt not merely to eulogize earlier styles but to revive them feels somewhat embalmed. September 5, 2014 | Full Review…

Wilder may have been a genius, but not everything a genius does is a work of genius. Fedora is a curiosity, not a lost masterpiece. September 2, 2014 | Full Review…

The deliberate and sometimes dismaying anachronisms are signs of a deep, unshakable commitment to a personal aesthetic -- a commitment that is sometimes more moving than anything in the film itself. August 14, 2007 | Full Review…

A shamefully underrated film, Fedora is Wilder's testament and one of the most sublime achievements of the '70s. January 26, 2006 | Full Review…

Trust Wilder to know what he's doing, even during the deliberate clichs. See it like that, and I bet you'll like it. See it with a straight face, and you'll think it's boring and obvious. October 23, 2004 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Fedora is old-fashioned with a vengeance, a proud, passionate remembrance of the way movies used to be, and a bitter smile at what they have become. January 1, 2000 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The plot illustrates more than it excites, and sits on the edges of the baroque or grotesque. [Full Review in Spanish] August 15, 2019 | Full Review…

There's a lot of awkwardness to Fedora, from a sluggish pace to an awful bit of last-minute overdubbing that mars two performances, but there's a lot of fascination in it. November 10, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This wearying nostalgia for golden-age moviemaking aside, Fedora exposes, through a major plot twist I won't give away, the off-screen pathologies that constitute the nightmares of the dream factory. September 3, 2014 | Full Review…

The offhand jabs at the dissolution of orthodox craftsmanship in 1970s cinema are overwhelmed by a deeper core of autocritique played out in the film's downward trajectory. September 2, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Defiantly and proudly old-fashioned both in style and content, weaving an (intentionally) campy melodrama about the mysterious suicide of a faded movie queen into a spellbinding meditation on cinema and the price of manufactured illusions. August 14, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
