- **9.0/10** — [Everybody Comes to Rick's, and Nobody Leaves Unchanged](https://cinepixo.com/reviews/everybody-comes-to-ricks-and-nobody-leaves-unchanged) by Marcus Reid, 2026-08-03
  > Casablanca has no business working as well as it does, and it works because everyone in it is playing somebody who wants something and is too proud to say so.
