Death of a Cyclist Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Explicitly designed as a shock to the system, Death of a Cyclist too often settles for academic subversion.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Death Of A Cyclist addresses all the grievances that Bardem mentioned at Salamanca, and it succeeds most at capturing the general climate of fear and oppression in Franco's Spain.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The film is a leftist commentary on bourgeois Spain under Franco, but its passion and sensitive observation transcend its political intent.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A mannered guilt trip melodrama made with a great deal of difficulty under the Franco regime.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
[Transposes] the ugliness of power relations in a repressive society to the spheres of sex and gossip.
PopMatters
Marco Lanzagorta
The result is a dramatic story that deeply resonates with the cultural anxieties that Spanish society endured under the regime of General Francisco Franco.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
Imagine a Michelangelo Antonio drama of upper class disaffection by way of a film noir...
Spotlight on Film
Diana Tuova
Although frustrating at times with a questionable ending, Death of a Cyclist also benefits from nuanced directing which brings out the best in this story about crime and attempts at redemption.
