Pauline Kael once said...

In Slate, taking Sydney Pollack to task for his low-key style, Bryan Curtis breaks out the Paulette nuke: Pollack's later work rarely betrays the notion that his leading men have been given any direction at all. How else to account for Redford's All-American gauziness in 'Out of Africa'—he "looks as if he'd been blow-dried away," quipped Pauline Kael. Meanwhile, in the SF Chronicle, a nice Jeff Selvin prorile of Greil Marcus puts us in the know that "Marcus has established himself as the thinking man's rock critic, the Pauline Kael of pop."
