Punch-Drunk Love

"The film is exhilarating to watch because Sandler, liberated from the constraints of formula, reveals unexpected depths as an actor."

"It's a honey of a performance (from Sandler): controlled, achingly human, and funny in the deepest ways."

"A weirdly sweet little love story..."

"What Mr. Anderson wants to do is recapture, without nostalgia, the giddiness and sweep of old movies, and his mastery of the emotional machinery of the medium is breathtaking."

"Intoxicating..."

"A weird, arresting little ride."

"Punch-Drunk Love is never heavy-handed."

"It's a very idiosyncratic take on the genre, but it works..."

"Both funny and moving..."

"Anderson has a firm grip on Sandler's dangerous essence and draws it out in an astonishing performance."

"Nothing makes much sense..."

"Without doubt the oddest romcom of all time... But somehow it works..."
