Sherlock Jr.

"(Keaton's) observations on the relationship between film and the subconscious are groundbreaking and profound. And it’s a laugh riot, too."

"The timing here is incredible (a technical marvel, in fact)..."

"This small gem shows us why (Keaton is) as purely American a film genius as the motion pictures have produced."

"Sherlock Jr. is notable for a series of scintillating, near-inexplicable stunts, Keaton's characteristically dexterous and deadpan performance, as well as for its... rattling-good storytelling..."

"Buster Keaton's third and shortest feature ranks among his best."
