The Cameraman Ratings & Reviews
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...registers as a strung-together package of exceedingly clever Keaton shorts.
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
The talkies are progressing rapidly, but it will be a long time before they can produce comedies that approach the old silent standard.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
An important missing piece in Keaton's oeuvre, but it represents a turning point in his career from which he would never recover.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
The Cameraman is a delightful romp that would easily appeal to folks like me who've experienced very little silent film, and probably appeals to hardcore silent film fans as well (as a lesser known work from one of the era's greatest talents).
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The beginning of the end for Buster Keaton.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Keaton keeps on keeping on, and each of his set pieces - from a baseball game in Yankee Stadium with Keaton playing all the parts, to a partnership with Josephine, a capuchin monkey - The Cameraman is a wonder of Rube Goldberg set-up and execution.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
Given the 4K digital restoration treatment from Criterion, The Cameraman is dressed up and ready to greet a new generation of cinephiles with a presentation that's not only gorgeous to look at but to listen to as well.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Studio interference damaged the film but could not destroy it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Keaton's last great comedy.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The Cameraman gave Buster one of his best roles and he filled it with one of his most touching and fleshed-out performances, using mostly his intense eyes.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
One of Keaton's most impressively self-reflective films and an ode to the unexpected and elusive lightening-in-a-bottle nature of filmmaking.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the old Keaton magic could not be entirely dampened by the studio's dictums, and The Cameraman includes a number of very funny bits.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
Buster's last definitive feature, despite studio meddling.
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
Keaton's feature is easily the best work he did within the studio structure
