Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Made near the end of Buñuel's career, it's not his greatest movie, but it contains some of his most memorable moments.

A crazy, subversively funny film about convention-bound characters who have a hard time dealing with sexuality and freedom.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Winter
Albeit scattershot, Phantom does cohere as a satire of keeping up appearances in which everything is as it appears.
