...will bring tears, he is really saying that he has already cried while watching it, will cry again when it comes on the air and yet again when it goes into reruns. What makes him the best programmer in television today is the fact that he is the best viewer working in television today. Silverman, 39, does not have to pause and think what 60 million viewers will want to see: he knows, or usually knows, because he is one of them. His likes are theirs, and his dislikes are theirs. He was born with perfect pitch for American...
...Wells on the print ed page, these figures have a certain evocative power ("Imagine yourself sur rounded by all the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive . . ."). But when they lope right on screen, they are too literal. They cease to be creatures of the viewer's imagination and become exhibits of the make up man's craft.

...seizure of power in the cradle of democracy paved the way for a favorable reception of Z in the West, but the movie has a lot more going for it besides. None of Costa-Gavras subsequent tracts has come close to capturing the gut-rending tension that glues the viewer of Z to the edge of his seat. Yves Montand turns in yet another tour de force as the pacifist legislator whose brutal assassination triggers the investigation that inexorably leads to the top layer of the Junta: Bear in mind, however, that no Watergate-style denouement awaits the generals.
