Something Wild

Black comedy never had it so good. A funny, kinky, quirky movie with great performances. And the music is unforgettable. Definitely on my top 10 list.... Full review

This movie put Ray Liota on the map. A very funny and creepy, multi-dimensional film. A must see for anyone who likes interesting characters and fun.... Full review

Sometimes you have to search high and low, but you really can find some interesting films made in the late 1980s. Though Jonathan Demme's film is not perfect, it still brilliantly outshines most of the crud made back then. Something Wild... Full review

ISN'T IT? I MEAN THIS IS ONE OF THE WILDEST COMEDIES FROM THE 80'S. THE STORY ADDS NEW SURPRISES. RAY LIOTTA STEALS THE SHOW WITH HIS GREAT PERMORMANCE AS THE PSYCHOTIC EX-BOYFRIEND. YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GREAT COMEDY, WELL, THIS IS... Full review

The best acting of Ray Liotta and Melanie Griffith's career. Top 3 acting jobs of Jeff Daniel's career. Really funny and different and drama filled. Great movie.... Full review

Something not-so-great. "Silence of the Lambs" remains Demme's only good film, and I'm of course including all the overrated, left-wing exercises in big-screen indulgence some of which I haven't seen - and never will.This is a light comedy that takes... Full review

Although the story was mediocre but the unexpected twists totally made up for it. The acting from Griffiths and Daniels was super but the well deserved A was owned by the memorable performance from Ray Liotta. His charecter is a lovable... Full review

This movie will take you on a wild ride from NY, to NJ to nearby PA and back all the while having you sitting on the edge of your seat. Very good movie.... Full review

It's easy to take actors like Ray Liotta and Jeff Daniels for granted with the benefit of hindsight. Both of them have had ups and (horrible) downs, crossing genres seamlessly or inexplicably. It can also be argued that neither one... Full review

It's almost two films in one: a lighthearted sex fantasy ride for the first 50 minutes and then (when Ray Liotta appears) a suspenseful, violent thriller.It's a strange movie, but certainly entertaining. However, I found that the more I watched... Full review

In spite of all its manic shifting of gears, though, ''Something Wild'' never achieves the momentum required to make the transitions from one mood to the next with any ease. The film's principal difficulty is E. Max Frye's original screenplay, which is better thought out in terms of its narrative than of the characters who, in one way and another, are supposed to make it all happen. ... Full Review

It's still a good movie;....After an hour or so of exuberant sexual comedy, the movie settles down into a slightly more conventional groove....it's just not as inspired as those risky opening scenes where Demme closes his eyes and steps on the gas.....though a newcomer named Ray Liotta is mesmerizing as the evil husband with vengeance on his mind..... ...

With a screenplay from first-time screenwriter E. Max Frye and superior performances from his principal cast, Demme has created a unique and likable film in SOMETHING WILD..... ... Full Review

Demme's 1986 feature, Something Wild , newly reissued on DVD, strikingly illustrates all of these virtues and adds to them a mischievous willingness to intermingle disparate narrative models. Something Wild 's two leads in particular, Griffith and Daniels, have rarely been as good. ... Full Review

If the slim plot of Demme's romantic black comedy lacks the outrageous panache and exhilarating twists of Something Wild , the film nevertheless delights through its sheer good-humoured glee in all that is kitsch or off-the-wall, and its wealth of inventive incidental details. ... Full Review

I will not bother rehashing the plot, as it is well enough known and dissected in countless reviews. Based on Thomas Harris' best selling novel of the same name, Silence mixes the genres of police/crime procedural, psychological thriller and horror... ... Full Article
