The most amazing thing about this amazing movie may be that in the end it communicates the large uncertainties and small hopes of a twisted, inarticulate adolescent boy perfectly, and wordlessly. [14 Oct 1983]Full Review

I thought Rumble Fish was offbeat, daring, and utterly original.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A triumph of romantic impulse over stylistic indulgence. [21 Oct 1983]Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

Rumble Fish is another Francis Coppola picture that's overwrought and overthought with camera and characters that never quite come together in anything beyond consistently interesting.Full Review

Variety

The stunning black-and-white cinematography in Francis Coppola's Rumble Fish functions rather like a cold compress, subduing a film that is otherwise all feverish extremes.Full Review
