The Long Goodbye Reviews

A great moody film that views the neo-noir genre in a satirical lens. Elliot Gould gives what maybe is his best performance.

if smoking a cigarette in every single scene in a film was a crime, elliot gould is due a life sentence

Thoroughly enjoyed. Great filmmaking. Intro sequence is a perfect encapsulation of the movie - incredible acting by the cat!! did not expect to like it so much! Highly recommend.

(Includes extended scene with homophobia and blackface but otherwise good)

i really liked the main character, it had a interesting plot and most of the scenes were pretty enjoyable. (5.6/10)

great film!

one of the coolest movies ever

I just want him to find his cat :(

It’s ok with him 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

elliot gould’s performance and “aura” is what makes this everyone else is kinda lackluster and somewhat unlikeable. he brings that 70’s masculinity to the table, he reminded me of a jewish version of tom selleck in this. tall hairy men with high pitched voices that complain a lot

Not much to say.

Not for me

8/10 good Altman film

Great movie that hits everything you want from a noir, especially the performance from Gould and a really funny script with an engaging mystery

hey it’s ok with me

Such an intriguing movie. Many captivating scenes with a couple clunky ones sprinkled in. Definitely worth a rewatch at some point down the line.

Elliott couldn’t have played this role any better. Such a great film

Enjoyed Gould as the smart aleck private eye. Some of the points didn’t matchup as neatly as desired. A little long winded.

he is so hot

One of the most nihilist leads in all noir films, I come back to this one every couple of years.
