Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is one of the great emotional experiences of our time.

Shattering social and sexual conventions, Last Tango in Paris stands as one of Bernardo Bertolucci's finer achievements.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Vincent Canby
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is a beautiful, courageous, foolish, romantic, and reckless film.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Dave Kehr
The surface plausibility is probably the contribution of Marlon Brando, whose performance has strength and detail enough to counterbalance Bertolucci's taste for pure psychological essence.
Read Full Review >Empire Emma Cochrane
Interesting for it's historical notoriety, but overlong and dull in places.
Read Full Review >Variety Staff (Not Credited)
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is an uneven, convoluted, certainly dispute-provoking study of sexual passion in which Marlon Brando gives a truly remarkable performance.
