American Gigolo Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Even as Paul Schrader revels in opulence, he stresses the moral turpitude beneath its surface.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Schrader films the action with a glossy, gliding precision, orchestrating the complications and controlling the tempo while sustaining the lurid mood with the glow of neon color and with high design-of architecture, furnishings, and clothing.
Washington Blade
Tom Huhn
If it had gone further and allowed the changes in the character of the protagonist to become fully fleshed, American Gigolo could have been quite remarkable. As it is, the film is merely worthwhile.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
'80s thriller has lots of sex, violence, language.
Boston Globe
Michael Blowen
Richard Gere, the highly touted actor critics invariably defend as a talent in search of a script, proves that his method acting can't propel him through a bad script.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Stylish but emotionally hollow, Paul Schrader's morality tale of a callboy (played by Richard Gere), offers some visual pleasures, including Armani's slick wardrobe.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Schrader's development of the frame-up story is mechanically melodramatic, and Gere, essentially a boring actor, doesn't help much either. He just cannot carry a picture, even when his passivity and gentleness well serve some aspects of his character...
TV Guide
The story becomes increasingly implausible as its thriller elements kick in, but the moving last shot achieves a sense of spiritual transcendence and grace rare in American movies.
Variety
Variety Staff
Schrader's third outing as a director is betrayed by a curious, uncharacteristic evasiveness at its core.

Pure fantasy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The whole movie has a winning sadness about it; take away the story's sensational aspects and what you have is a study in loneliness.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Turn off the sound and just enjoy the visuals.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Slick, empty and far from sensual
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
