Little Caesar Ratings & Reviews
Cinelandia
E. L. Espectador
The cast is well chosen for a movie of the class. [Full review in Spanish]
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
LeRoy's coldly efficient direction-due less to his own artistry than to the constraints of sound recording in its first years-imposes a static rigor on the action and lends the actor's diction and gestures a sculptural, granitic force.
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Edward G. Robinson's gravelly snarl and sociopathic disdain for human conventions became the template for countless future gangster anti-heroes
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Faded bronze to The Public Enemy's silver and Scarface's gold, but an enduring bedrock formation all the same
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Little Caesar makes two classic LeRoy joints that I've found perfectly solid...and thoroughly underwhelming, especially when viewed through the prism of their reputations.
Variety
Variety Staff
No director could ask for more than Edward G. Robinson's contribution. Here, no matter what he has to say, he's entirely convincing.
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
Feels stilted when stacked up against its tougher depression-era contemporaries.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the most popular and best received crime films ever.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Robinson's riveting performance earned him a permanent place in the history of cinema.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
The production is ordinary and would rank as just one more gangster film but for two things. One is the excellence of Mr. Burnett's credible and compact story. The other is Edward G. Robinson's wonderfully effective performance.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Edward G. Robinson's classic portrayal makes this antique still work
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Edward G. Robinson in the performance of his career.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
One of the most well-known and best of the early classical gangster films is Warner Bros.' Little Caesar (1930) - often called the grandfather of the modern crime film

An indisputable landmark.
