A beautiful effort. This is my new go-to when showing clients what responsive means. Love that it's optimized up to 1400px.

It's particularly heartbreaking to see that this site was clearly designed to have Roger's ongoing influence... and it hurt to have his farewell post pop up in my RSS reader again. Glad to see him have a home on the web befitting his influence.

Came here to say this. They did a knockout job with this. Some pieces that just aren't easy to make responsive are done really, really well. For an example, check the filtering mechanism here: http://www.rogerebert.com/great-movies.

Also- the infinite scrolling is lightning fast. They're getting JSON and throwing it into a template(?) while loading images from Cloudfront. This is the way it should be done.

Big ups to the devs behind this. A migration is never easy and it looks like they handled it expertly.

Can't agree more. All the breakpoints are placed so thoughtfully without sacrificing content for flair, certainly one of the most well-executed responsive sites I've come across. I'll most likely be poring through the reviews for hours to come.
