Working Girl

"Working Girl is Nichols returning to the top of his form, and Griffith finding hers."

"In its later stages the story remains lively but seldom has the perceptiveness or acuity of Mr. Nichols's best work."

"Working Girl is... brilliant in the details and wobbly in its overall arc, a flimsy bridge with sparkling lights."

"Although executed with polish, this is basically a corny Hollywood success story... but Griffith’s talent, energy, and sexiness give it some drive and punch."

"A treat."

"Both Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver willingly take up side offices to Griffith's excutive-suite performance."

"The plotting of Tess’s meteoric rise from coffee maker to merger mastermind is adroit, with director Mike Nichols careful to observe neat and amusing little details."

"This is not a laugh-out-loud film, though there is a lighthearted tone that runs consistently throughout..."

"None of the plot twists will astonish you, but they don’t have a single boring patch to them either, thanks to Wade’s pungent dialogue and Nichols’ adroit direction."

"Funny, touching, and ultimately tremendously buoyant... Working Girl is a "feel good" movie with some intelligence."
