Great minds reference Tolstoy alike
Don’t you hate it when you come up with a super-smart literary reference for your movie review – and everyone else comes up with it, too? Indomitable Fishtern Maureen Miller catches great minds thinking alike in today’s papers:
New York Times (Manohla Dargis):
“All happy families resemble one another, Tolstoy famously wrote, and each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, but Tolstoy didn’t know the Stones, who are happy in a Hollywood kind of way and unhappy in a self-help kind of way.”
Washington Post (Stephen Hunter):
“On the subject of families, Tolstoy famously said, essentially, that all happy families are the same but all unhappy families are different. Now, take the Stones — please take the Stones!”
“Happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” Tolstoy famously observed. The quirky New England clan of Thomas Bezucha’s The Family Stone, however, hangs in limbo between these two poles.”
