- not comparableSomewhat but not entirely bearable
The semibearable heaviness of Philip Kaufman, at least in his last three features--Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Wanderers, and The Right Stuff--is largely a matter of an only half-disguised didactic impulse, a notion that he's got something to teach us.
1988 February 12, Jonathan Rosenbaum, “Unwarranted Heaviness”, in Chicago Reader
