Some critics who reviewed the film on its original release have offered re-evaluations. Roger Ebert, nearly thirty years after his original review, added ''Don't Look Now'' to his list of [[The Great Movies]], increasing the rating from three stars to his top rank of four stars. Ebert stated he had come to an "accommodation" with his reservations about what he termed the "admitted weakness of the denouement". Having gone through the film shot by shot, he came to the conclusion it is a "masterpiece of physical filmmaking, in the way the photography evokes mood and the editing underlines it with uncertainty". While the plot described in a brief summary would seem routine, it is the film's "visual style, acting, and mood that evoke its uncanny power [...''Don't Look Now''] works through apprehension, not plot or action."<ref name="Ebert (2002)"/>
