Ridley Scott has made a triumphant directing debut by creating a film that looks beautiful but never loses sight of the capacity for animosity and conflict lurking in the human psyche. [08 Mar 1978, p.D1]
Scott gets strong performances from his supporting cast and is able to salvage the movie through the alchemy of the striking visuals. [13 Feb 1992, p.13]

Early work from Ridley Scott with an excellent plot. This movie is a masterpiece letting the viewers participate in the end of the 18th century noble honor code, a code which looks quite irritating to us nowadays......

This is by far the best Ridley Scott's movie. Simply visually beautiful, simply as entertaining as a movie gets, simply greatly screenplayed, simply Scott at this best.

Scott's first film and actually amongst his best with solid acting and an operatic tone.

Impressive to be a debut, even being Ridley Scott.
It definitely feels different from the rest of his filmography but that was to be expected. However it's very interesting to see that here there are many glimpses of what would come next for him.
