Cookie's Fortune Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Cookie's Fortune is Robert Altman's sunniest film, a warm-hearted comedy that somehow manages to deal with death and murder charges without even containing a real villain.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Robert Altman has delivered a lot of surprises in his long directing career, and his new comedy, Cookie's Fortune, is one of the most refreshing -- not because it's so good, but because it's so sweet and affectionate.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
This movie delivers agreeable performances and a charming, amusing story that offers little in the way of substance.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Cookie's Fortune is a wittily diagrammed portrait of a small town shaken to its roots by this deceptive calamity. The movie, though, never really becomes more than a diagram.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The sweet assurance and guerrilla wit of Robert Altman's vintage ensemble films makes a serenely captivating return.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Robert Altman's jaundiced eye absolutely twinkles in Cookie's Fortune.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
The Southern-Gothic-lite tapestry Rapp builds allows Altman to do some of his most nuanced storytelling.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Most of what transpires is low-key, affectionate comedy and a fair amount of fun.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
The deceptively modest Cookie's Fortune may or not be Robert Altman's best film in years, but it is certainly his most pleasurable.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Altman's digressive, shaggy-dog style turns out to be well-suited to Southern Gothic.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Altman's folkloric feints and throwaways are very easy on the eyes; he shows off his townspeople with such affection that after a while they begin to glow. The movie is a jaunty little jape.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
One well-telegraphed disclosure is heartwarmingly self-congratulatory, the other genealogical bombshell totally inconsequential.
Sacramento News & Review
Mark Halverson
[An] earthy, gently comic tale of death and family dysfunction.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Legendary director Robert Altman gives us a crime movie that somehow makes an old story seem fresh and funny.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The perfect melding of story, characters, actors and behind the camera talent, all under the expert control of Altman.
Film Quips Online
John R. McEwen
Everyone loves a good murder mystery. And with a distinguished director like Robert Altman at the helm, and with talent like Glenn Close, Patricia Neal, Charles Dutton, Ned Beatty, and Julianne Moore, it would be hard to miss.
Cincinnati Enquirer
Margaret A. McGurk
A charming, quirky tale of small-town intrigue featuring a crackerjack cast.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
Altman has a way of making every character a lead, yet supporting at the same time.
