Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Wong has acquired a loyal cult following over the years, and Dupont's exquisitely filmed episodes show why.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
This remarkable British silent (1929) is special in many ways.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
Wong is sensationally expressive and projects a modern, coolly appraising sexuality. Visually eloquent and often dazzling, the movie is no less terrific. Piccadilly is both evidence of silent cinema at its rudely aborted peak and Wong's frustrated potential to have been among its greatest stars.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Janice Page
As casually insensitive and careless as you might expect from a film of this era, but it's also surprisingly crafty about finding ways to incite discussion
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
German emigre Dupont directs all this with the style, flair and tension he brought to his 1925 Emil Jannings classic, "Variety." But it is Wong, shimmering with charisma, who gives Piccadilly its unforgettable center.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
I found it a surprisingly elegant entertainment: fast-paced, cogently written (by noted English author Arnold Bennett), well-cast (including a bit by a young Charles Laughton) and stylishly photographed on a gallery of stunning deco sets.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Marta Barber
Film students should be thankful that companies such as Milestone Film & Video have taken up the distribution and restoration of important silent films, and that universities and museums have decided to screen these obscure classics.
