Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Bravo!

88
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
Triumphs by taking an elliptical approach that still reaches directly into the very core of genius.

80
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Superb, contemplative.
80
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Feverish, elegant movie.

80
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
Far more than a mere visual feast.

80
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The camera, freed to glide, flows as if through the old man's memory, discovering both the glory of his life and the tragedy.

75
Miami Herald
Elisa Turner
Saura's storytelling style draws us deep into Goya's world, a disturbing but bittersweet place that can look hauntingly modern.

75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
It assumes considerable knowledge of his life and times. But, with even a little of the familiarity it demands, the movie is something special.

70
LA Weekly
Paul Malcolm
Storaro's gorgeous cinematography imbues every frame with an enthralling subjectivity.

70
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
The luminous images--as much the filmmakers' as the painter's--are occasionally transcendent.

70
The New York Times
Stephen Holden
Visual knockout of a film.

67
Portland Oregonian
Kim Morgan
Plods and frustrates, but forgivably, it is a deeply felt picture.

63
San Francisco Examiner
G. Allen Johnson
Dreamy and elegantly filmed.

60
Film.com
Robert Horton
Worth a look, even if it doesn't quite find the internal logic it seems to be searching for.

60
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
What can a movie tell us about the painter that the paintings do not? The effort has done no favors for Picasso or Rivera or Bacon.

58
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Covers some bases, but it feels like the Cliffs Notes version of a grander epic.

50
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Rich as it looks, it lacks the feverishness of Goya's art.

50
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The meandering story doesn't gather much momentum and Vittorio Storaro's camera work is less awesome than usual.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
The movie never catches fire with the emotions.

50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Never comes alive.

50
TV Guide
Ken Fox
This film's splendid visuals suit the subject, Spain's greatest painter, but its stilted dramatics are wholly at odds with Francisco de Goya's tumultuous life and times.

40
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Sumptuous to behold, although one will not leave the theatre with a much deeper knowledge and understanding of this great Spanish painter's career.

38
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
While it's visually stunning, the pretentiousness makes it hard to take seriously.

38
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Pretty but tedious Euro-pap at its most self-indulgent.
