I’m just going to say it: I don’t trust the opinions of Roberta Smith, and I don’t think she’s a great writer. Let me refresh the memories of the people who endlessly rain praise over her with a quote or two from her recent review of Eve Sussman’s The Rape of the Sabine Women. “Extravagantly beautiful, endlessly noble” she proclaims. Experiencing the film “is like eating a chocolate chip cookie made of nothing but the chips.”
Come on. Is this the New York Times, or Daily Candy? You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel if all you’ve got are food metaphors.
