Accattone Ratings & Reviews
Battleship Pretension
Scott Nye
Pasolini frequently uses those who push themselves to the margins of society to expose our collective and individual weaknesses, and our determination to maintain the image of order.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
At once squalid and exalted
TV Guide
Pasolini's first feature is a classic neorealist study of the Roman underworld of poverty and petty thievery.
Variety
Variety Staff
This is a fascinating debut by writer-director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who has scripted some interesting pix.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A brutally lyrical and unsentimental urban drama grounded in realism.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Pasolini made a strong feature debut with this gritty portrait of a new type of an Italian anti-hero, departing from the post WWII Italian ne-realism.
New York Times
Renata Adler
The result is uneven, but not without distinction.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
presents an even bleaker picture than Rossellini and De Sica
Austin Chronicle
Nick Barbaro
This may be the grimmest movie I've ever seen.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The brutality and frigid despair of this 1962 film have had a lasting impact on political filmmaking.
