Premature film reviews?

Posted on Tuesday 30 September 2003

BBC Website has this to say about Tarantino’s Kill Bill: “It has received rave reviews in the US, though critics have also warned of the strong violence and gore.” This claim struck me, because I hadn’t yet seen any reviews. So I went to the NY Times movie page. Nothing. Then the LA Times. Nothing. Finally, I checked an index of current reviews, which pulled up one review in German (even Brown Bunny has more, and it’s not seen distribution yet). Am I missing something? Now, it’s pretty standard practice for marketing materials to refer to critical opinion that doesn’t yet exist, but why would the BBC do that?
