Monsieur Verdoux Ratings & Reviews
ButteredPopcorn
Carson Timar
Monsieur Verdoux is easily one of the most underrated Chaplin films out there.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Perfection? Arguably not; Verdoux has clunky moments and some flat casting, but with an able assist from the great comedian Martha Raye, Chaplin's latter-day greatness is readily apparent.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Sara Cardace
In its uncanny depiction of a weakling whose crimes pale against those of the war-mad society around him, it's a near masterpiece.
Variety
Chaplin generates little sympathy. His broad-mannered antics, as a many-aliased fop on the make for impressionable matrons.
TV Guide
As it is, Monsieur Verdoux is a curiosity with flashes of brilliance, but definitely not one of Chaplin's best.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Gives one a greater sense of Chaplin's political breadth from his previous work.
DVDJournal.com
Mark Bourne
The intensely felt social criticism that audiences had seen growing in Modern Times and especially The Great Dictator is elevated to an astonishing level of sarcasm and subversive irony.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Truly great Chaplin film, seldom seen, about love, war, and murder. And it's a comedy too.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Stunningly daring social satire.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A fine black comedy, not one of Chaplin's best, but still offers some illuminating moments.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Arguably the crown jewel in the Chaplin canon.
Slant Magazine
Joshua Vasquez
The film is not only an account of the moral slippage of one man but the record of a far larger, seemingly uncontrollable escalation.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
An engrossingly wry and paradoxical film, screamingly funny in places, sentimental in others, sometimes slow and devoted to an unusually serious and sobering argument.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Probably Chaplin's best talkie -- a masterpiece of black comedy.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
..one of those overreaching "important" films that insists a little much on moralizing.
Lawrence Journal-World
Dan Lybarger
This later entry from Charlie Chaplin is a bit talky, but it's also eerily amusing and a lot darker than we often associate with "The Little Tramp."
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A film of serene elegance and sharp teeth.
