Caligula Ratings & Reviews

I uh, didnt realize what exactly this was
Boston Globe
Michael Blowen
If you want a turn-on, turn-off Caligula. Stay home and read Robert Graves' I, Claudius, it's much sexier.

[VIDEO ESSAY] If ever there was a filmic guide to pagan Roman debauchery - real or imagined - "Caligula" is it.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Not so much the culmination of '70s porn-chic cinema as its purposefully degraded last hurrah
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
More infamous for its widespread ineptitude than for its artistic innovation... [Blu-ray]
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A classic in the coolest sense of the word
Variety
Variety Staff
Such established names as John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole will have to be seen to be believed.
TV Guide
Unpleasantly violent, often dull, and only intermittently sexy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Caligula is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty.
Bullz-Eye.com
Will Harris
It ended up almost as infamous and notorious as its subject... and that's not a compliment.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
I suppose certain college fraternities could make screening it part of their hazing rituals.
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
Simply a curiosity, a laughable relic of a failed effort to bring explicit sex movies to the masses.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Despite the movie, the highlight of this three-disc set is the often hilarious commentary.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Excess for excess sake, or just bad taste: Caligula is a messy, bloody film that fails on any level, even as porn and camp.
New Times
Gregory Weinkauf
Kinda dumb and tacky, but at least it's a real movie.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
professes to be an honest depiction of ancient Roman excesses, but it succeeds only in being alternately boring and offensive
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
Caligula boasts a sort of notoriety known to few films. It was a lavish accident: the marriage of legitimate film and smut.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
For sheer camp RBI, this Tinto Brass-Bob Guccione freak is the World Series played, won, and paraded.
