Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

So definitive in so many ways, Bonnie and Clyde has become a 20th-century touchstone.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Bonnie and Clyde is a milestone in the history of American movies, a work of truth and brilliance. It is also pitilessly cruel, filled with sympathy, nauseating, funny, heartbreaking, and astonishingly beautiful.

ReelViews James Berardinelli

There is something special about the production, with its brash, vivid style, indelible performances by movie icons, and bold mixture of violence and comedy, romance and tragedy.

Landmark gangster film that made a huge commercial and cultural splash.

Chicago Reader Dave Kehr

It's by far the least controlled of Penn's films, but the pieces work wonderfully well, propelled by what was then a very original acting style.

Variety Staff (Not credited)

This inconsistency of direction is the most obvious fault of Bonnie and Clyde, which has some good ingredients, although they are not meshed together well.

Entertainment Weekly Staff (Not credited)

Penn's film oozes an intellectual's fashionable contempt for the characters.

The New York Times Bosley Crowther

It is a cheap piece of bald-faced slapstick comedy that treats the hideous depredations of that sleazy, moronic pair as though they were as full of fun and frolic as the jazz-age cutups in "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
