Editorial Reviews

Leo Spivak (Peter Riegert) is drifting through life without a compass. His father (Eli Wallach) is aging fast, his teenage daughter is rebelling, his protégé is after his job and his wife (Isabella Rossellini) is losing her patience. A twist of fate and some bizarre wisdom from a "freelance rabbi" (Eric Bogosian) help Leo navigate the murky waters of his life and turn his crisis into a second-chance

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice independent film well worth a look!, November 7, 2005

This review is from: King of the Corner (DVD)

This film is the story of a middle aged man who is still unsure of who he really is (or should be). He struggles to have a decent relationship with his elderly father, his wife and his daughter. His job is less than secure and he is having a bit of an (after) mid-life crisis. Very well made film with an amazing cast and some great dialogue. Actor/director Peter Riegert (Animal House,Local Hero) has been traveling around the country promoting this film and hopefully it will find an audience soon. Mr Riegert holds Q and A sessions after the screenings of King Of The Corner and the man has a real love of acting (not to mention that everyone involved in this movie is outstanding). There is a nice dry sense of humor throughout the film, so when things do take a turn for the worse, you can expect a chuckle to be just around the corner. For fans of movies about love, loss and finding happiness in this short life we are given, this is a movie to cherish. The only passion you will find in cinema these days is within the indy film scene. I look forward to Mr Riegert's next project (whether it be acting or directing).

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, July 19, 2007

This review is from: King of the Corner (DVD)

This is a very mediocre movie. I'm not surprised it didn't find a distributor, despite having a pretty stellar cast, which includes Eli Wallach, Isabella Rosellini, Rita Moreno and Beverly D'Angelo.

2.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this but....., June 11, 2007

By 

Mila Troyan (West Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: King of the Corner (DVD)

I really wanted to like this movie and I felt it started out pretty good but it became painfully clear that its main fault is that it tries to depict the Jewish experience in America with one worn out cliche after another. The wooden acting by most of the cast didn't help either.
