Critic Reviews for Rebel in the Rye
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (6)
Too phony to love.
Diverting, mildly informative and - to borrow Caulfield's adjective of choice - somewhat phony, heavy as it is on tortured-writer clichés and contrived art-imitates-life parallels.
Strong ... draws connections between life and art in ways many others have, but finds it hard to conjure his subject's passion for writing.
Instead of demythologizing Salinger, Rebel in the Rye plays like a fan film rather than an honest examination of a complex figure.
Fails to capture anything new about the man.
Conventional, but entertaining.
