(01/11/2002, p.29, Entertainment Weekly Staff): "James Dean's good looks and devilish charm were trumped only by his affinity for fast living...", (03/01/2001, p.120, Phil Hoad): "...With Dean's frowning charisma intact as misunderstood new kid Jim Stark, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE has life in it yet...", (06/01/2005, p.142, Uncut Staff): "All three compelling core performances, director Nicholas Ray's symbolic, vivid use of colour and the film's pace make REBEL a still-cogent depiction of alienated kids and dysfunctional families.", (06/23/1993, p.5D, Mike Clark): "...[An] early Scope masterpiece....The third Oscar-winner for cinematography...", (07/01/2005, p.86, Matthew Leyland): "The film that consecrated James Dean's teen-idol image...", (12/01/2003, p.9, Premiere Staff): "REBEL was remarkable in telling its story from the point of view of the kids, exploding the image of the juvenile delinquent."
