King of the Hill Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
With the kind of material you'd never dream of associating with him, Soderbergh has made his best film.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
King Of The Hill balances an incident-packed script with muted tones, painting a rich, absorbing picture of one boy's struggle to live by his wits.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The film does a lovely job of juxtaposing the sharp contrasts in Aaron's life, and in marveling at the fact that he survives as buoyantly as he does.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Tenderly directed and written by Steven Soderbergh.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
To revisit King of the Hill-or to discover it-is to realize how seldom American cinema deems it worthwhile to tell a child's story with anything approaching serious psychological intent. [Criterion Blu-ray/DVD]
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
Early Soderbergh family drama is excellent.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This dark, poetic movie is intended as a tribute to the resilient spirit of many Jewish families that had fallen on hard times; Aaron and his survival instincts recall the young protagonists of Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Carefully filled out with small, polished character performances, Soderbergh's film is a lyrical piece of well-crafted passion.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
The slow-paced King of the Hill is a feel-good fable in which it's difficult to work up any worry over a boy with clearly unsinkable spirits.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's his best work by far.
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Soderbergh's most underrated film and easily his most affecting.
