Simon Braud

For better or worse, American cinema changed forever the day Bonnie And Clyde was released. Almost every aspect of it was revolutionary. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

an American classic: poetically bloody, madly comic, infernally beautiful. [16 Aug 1987, p.3]

Pauline Kael

Bonnie and Clyde is the most excitingly American American movie since “The Manchurian Candidate.” The audience is alive to it. Our experience as we watch it has some connection with the way we reacted to movies in childhood: with how we came to love them and to feel they were ours—not an art that we learned over the years to appreciate but simply and immediately ours.

Dave Kehr

It's by far the least controlled of Penn's films, but the pieces work wonderfully well, propelled by what was then a very original acting style. Read full review

Richard Gilman

If the movie is better than anything Hollywood has done for a good while, it is still a compromise that barely misses being a self-destruction. Its failures, however, aren't due to any infidelity to history or to the American underlife, but to an incomplete loyalty to its own arresting propositions. Read full review

John Hartl

Today it has a classical feeling to it, with rich, on-target performances by Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons and Michael J. Pollard. [10 May 1991, p.65]

Staff (Not Credited)

Director Arthur Penn have elected to tell their tale of bullets and blood in a strange and purposeless mingling of fact and claptrap that teeters uneasily on the brink of burlesque. Like Bonnie and Clyde themselves, the film rides off'in all directions and ends up full of holes...The real fault with Bonnie and Clyde is its sheer, tasteless aimlessness. Read full review

You know, I had never heard of the film called Bonnie and Clyde and the fact that they both died in real life which is abrubtly shocking of me because everything about Bonnie and Clyde is memorable and in some film people say the name Bonnie and Clyde which is something that made me rememberYou know, I had never heard of the film called Bonnie and Clyde and the fact that they both died in real life which is abrubtly shocking of me because everything about Bonnie and Clyde is memorable and in some film people say the name Bonnie and Clyde which is something that made me remember the two couple in general and the reason I said that is because this is a famous film in the decade. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway did a fantastic portrayal as Bonnie and Clyde and they go rob banks and drives away with Clyde's friend and his wife. The characters are portrayed very well and the cast in this is beautifully well done not to mention Gene Wilder is in this. He's in the film for the short time. I absolutely really love the cinematography in this. It is really fantastically shot. This is something that you will see in the cinema. It really is beautifully made and the acting from Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway is so mesmerizing. And the ending of course is so amazing. Years ago people said it became one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history. Britian's say these two are a bunch of idiots because they rob banks as the tagline says "We rob banks." As 60's cinema goes, this is an impeccable film with great directing and everything that defines the 60's in filmmaking. Bonnie and Clyde is a fantastic film and my new favourite film of all time.… Expand

All the way back in 1967, not all directors had the balls to make movies like these: violent, raw, and realistic. It wasn't until after this movie that ratings and thematic material in movies became apparent. So technically, this movie is one of the first of its kind. Bravo.

A great movie with great acting based off the real bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, that shows that a life of a criminal is no life at all. A movie worth seeing.

Man tries to steal car, woman catches him, flirt, do a robbery, do some more, become infamous, Uncle Jesse comes after them.
I believe this was quite controversial at the time due to the violence although it doesn't seem too bad now (The ending however is still brutal).

Faye Dunaway is sexier than sexy & Gene Hackman as convincing as ever.
I did sympathise with Bonnie in that I found Blanche annoying as hell.
Also the cinematography ranges from very good to awful.… Expand
