Reviews Quotes

I collect all the reviews of the films I turned down. And when they’re bad - I have to smile Picture Quote #1

The whole purpose of annual reviews is to keep you abreast of whether or not you are fulfilling the requirements of tenure Picture Quote #1

If I had my way, I wouldn’t do annual reviews, if I felt that everybody would be more honest about positive and negative feedback along the way. I think the annual review process is so antiquated Picture Quote #1

I’ve stopped going to see art films because every critic gives them four stars and say things like ‘masterpiece,’ ‘spellbinding’ and ‘mesmerizing.’ I mean, they’re doing that with my film, but I don’t want to use those blurbs. Critical reviews aren’t worth too much anymore because just about every film can get one or two of them Picture Quote #1

I believe that music is about making quality things, making quality art, and no matter who you decide to work with, you and that person have to come up with something special, come up with something that is excellent material, so whoever hears it and reviews it will like it Picture Quote #1

I don’t pay much attention to the press. My films always get good reviews and bad reviews. I just try to make the best film I can Picture Quote #1

So far I haven’t really been prominent enough to get critical attention focused on me. So, of course, I fully expect bad reviews, but I will be wracked with misery as a result Picture Quote #1

In my memoir, I admit that I’ve been as fearful of success as of failure. In fact, when ‘Passages’ was published, I so dreaded bad reviews that I ran away to Italy with a girlfriend and our children to hide out Picture Quote #1

Bad reviews come with everything. I’ve been getting them my whole life Picture Quote #1

As ridiculous as it is for anybody who knows how movies are made, there were people who actually wrote in reviews that this picture [Bad Influence] had been put out to capitalize on the scandal. Which, of course, would have been impossible Picture Quote #1

Writing is exhilarating, but reading reviews is not. I’ve been really devastated by ‘good’ reviews because they misunderstand the project of the book. It can be strangely galvanising to get a ‘bad’ one Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be a part of the demographics. I want to be an individual. I wear each of my films as a badge of pride. That’s why I cherish all my bad reviews. If the critics start liking my movies, then I’m in deep trouble Picture Quote #1

Since I got a really bad review when I was, like, 28 in ‘The New York Times,’ I don’t read reviews anymore Picture Quote #1

Even reading my first bad review was an awesome experience. It was cool because you make something and not everybody’s going to like it. I felt like that kind of grew me up a little bit into a professional. I was a student filmmaker, and no one writes reviews about student films Picture Quote #1

I can’t stay mad very long. I get grumpy when I read a bad review. I say, ‘How could he say that about my music?’ Then I forget about it. If I got mad every time somebody wrote something negative about me, I’d be exploding all the time. I’d be burned out just from reading reviews Picture Quote #1

I’m only... I’m only unhappy when the reviews are bad, but give me a good review and I’m a... I’m just screaming all over the place with joy Picture Quote #1

I think you remember certain phrases from bad reviews. You don’t remember all the bad reviews Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had a movie that got great reviews. I’ve had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews Picture Quote #1

If you’re not getting any bad reviews, you’re not taking enough risks Picture Quote #1

People adore bad reviews. Nobody would be interested in reading the good ones Picture Quote #1

I’ve never worked for a newspaper. I’ve had some very bad reviews in newspapers Picture Quote #1

If there’s a good review, I’ll skip over the headline, but I always find the bad reviews and read those. I don’t know why. It’s a little sick and demented Picture Quote #1

Self editing is the path to the dark side. Self editing leads to self delusion, self delusion leads to missed mistakes, missed mistakes lead to bad reviews. Bad reviews are the tools of the dark side Picture Quote #1

In the 1970s, a lot of critics didn’t understand video. I got a lot of bad reviews. But film-makers didn’t understand what we were doing, either. There were actual fistfights between film-makers and video-makers. I was witness to one Picture Quote #1

If you read the good reviews you gotta read the bad reviews. I kind of think of it as like being a quarterback: you get way too much blame when it’s bad and way too much credit when it’s good Picture Quote #1

I’ve done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they’re good reviews - you believe that and you’re lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that’s true and you read that and you’re lost Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews. I find them very distracting, whether they’re good or bad Picture Quote #1

All writers are the same - they forget a thousand good reviews and remember one bad one Picture Quote #1

Everybody says before reviews come out, ‘Oh, reviews don’t matter,’ just in case they’re bad; everyone want to brace themselves Picture Quote #1

I don’t read reviews because if they’re bad I’m devastated and if they’re good I get a big head Picture Quote #1
