The New York Times Dana Stevens

Neither the neighborhood intimacy of "Mean Streets" nor the grandeur of the "Godfather" movies is imaginable without Visconti's example. Its richness, though, is inexhaustible, and well served by the spotless new 35-millimeter print being shown at Film Forum.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

From its star-studded cast to its indelible camerawork by the legendary Giuseppe Rotunno, it's an unforgettable experience by a revered master of European cinema.

Film Threat Angelina Sciolla

As we toss around words such as "dark," "stylish," "brooding," and "tragic" along the road to perdition, I recommend a three and a half hour pit stop in 1950s Milan.

TV Guide Staff (Not credited)

Violent, deliberately operatic, and makes ambiguous social statements.

Variety Staff (Not credited)

It's plotted in the form of an epic poem, each stanza dedicated to a member of the group.

Village Voice Michael Atkinson

Visconti's film remains a Euro-culture touchstone, though not nearly as convincing or visually stunning as its reputation insists.

The average user rating for this movie is 10.0 (out of 10) based on 2 User Votes
