Rating: 3/4 --
De Niro's feature directorial debut is not a second-tier Scorsese film. Though telling a familiar coming-of-age story, it finds a new angle in depicting the irrational and subconscious origins of racism.

Rating: B --
It paints a fairly accurate and hard-hitting picture of the racial tensions of the times, but it still glamorizes the gangsters with too much love.

De Niro deepens his portrait of a son and two fathers with a wonderfully expansive sense of place and time.

De Niro proves to be just as much a force behind the camera as he does in front of it. A superb debut - a gripping movie.

It's the moralistic tenor of A Bronx Tale that's ultimately most off-putting.

Rating: 4/4 --
A Bronx Tale is a very funny movie sometimes, and very touching at other times. It is filled with life and colorful characters and great lines of dialogue, and De Niro, in his debut as a director, finds the right notes.
