Content: "For his first Hollywood studio production, Steven Soderbergh (whose independent debut, sex, lies, and videotape, had won the Palme d’Or at Cannes a few years earlier) crafted this small jewel of a growing-up story. Set in St. Louis during the Great Depression, King of the Hill follows the daily struggles of a resourceful and imaginative adolescent who, after his younger brother is sent to live with a relative and his tubercular mother to a sanitarium, must survive on his own in a run-down hotel during his salesman father’s long business trips. This evocative period piece, faithfully adapted from the A. E. Hotchner memoir, is among the versatile Soderbergh’s most touching and surprising films." (Covertext Criterion)
Content: "In der Wirtschaftskrise der 30er Jahre ist ein 12jähriger Junge in St. Louis plötzlich ganz auf sich allein gestellt. Doch das Schicksal meint es gut und zaubert aus heiterem Himmel die gesamte Familie und das Happy-End herbei. Sepiatöne und Scope-Kamera bestimmen das mitunter recht düstere Geschehen des Films, dessen märchenhafter Schluß zu sehr den gängigen Hollywood-Klischees entspricht. Ein wenig ärgerlich in der Ideologie und enttäuschend, weil der zentrale Vater-Sohn-Konflikt keine überzeugende Auflösung findet. - Ab 14. " (Lexikon des Internationalen Films)
