Oedipus Rex Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's not always necessary to understand Pasolini to be riveted by what he does.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
Pasolini's rather straightforward style does occasionally mute the film's emotional impact.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Pasolini both humanizes the classical legend and reaches deep into the modern psyche to find its origins in ancient agonies.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One of the most underrated, neglected, and powerful of Pier Paolo Pasolini's features.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Fervid chanting and handheld tracking shots inform Pasolini's jangling, fabulously blunt pageant, filled to the brim with mysterious splendor
Battleship Pretension
Scott Nye
Pasolini frequently uses those who push themselves to the margins of society to expose our collective and individual weaknesses, and our determination to maintain the image of order.
TV Guide
Slow-moving, sensual, and often gorgeous to behold.
