Industry Reviews "[I]t's easy to see why Dean set off a youthquake that still rumbles almost 50 years after his death....He captures brooding, adolescent confusion with a seductive, rock-star charisma." Entertainment Weekly - Tim Purtell (06/03/2005)
"Elia Kazan's classic movie of John Steinbeck's novel..." USA Today - Mike Clark (06/03/2005)
"EAST is not only one of Kazan's richest films and Dean's first significant role, it is also arguably the actor's best performance." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (06/10/2005)
"[I]t's not hard to be seduced by the performances or by the photography, which makes arresting use of widescreen space and skewed angles..." Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (07/01/2005)
