Rocco and His Brothers Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
There is in this strong and surging drama of an Italian peasant family's shattering fate in the face of the brutalizing forces of unfamiliar modern city life a kind of emotional fullness and revelation that one finds in the great tragedies of the Greeks.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Powerful neorealist melodrama.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of Visconti's and Italian cinema's masterpieces
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
It's vital about violence being bred from systemic blind spots, where miniscule souls are tasked with the impossible.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
What you end up with is more an entertaining, overheated mish-mash than a great classic.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Rocco and His Brothers" is a film both authentic and ambitious, a classic that is as adept at telling individual stories as it is in drawing larger parallels from them.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Visconti's methods are still partly neorealist, but the scale of the film is huge and operatic, and it loses the intimacy of the best neorealist films, and their breath of life.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The Parondis' lives are difficult but gorgeous; boxing is terrible but riveting; the city offers everything even as it takes everything away.
Austin Chronicle
Nick Barbaro
Visconti returns to Milan, the city of his birth, in this story about the politics of class involved in the move to the big city of a family of impoverished southerners.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Neither neo-realist nor particularly artsy, Rocco might make for a fat, satisfying beach-read of a movie if only it weren't so convinced of its own magnitude.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Turgid, overwrought, yet still profoundly affecting.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A richly textured drama, resoundingly alive with characters.
culturevulture.net
Arthur Lazere
Even with [Rocco's] undeniable excess, the climactic moments transcend style and are profoundly moving.
Film Threat
Angelina Sciolla
I recommend a three and a half hour pit stop in 1950s Milan.
eye WEEKLY
Jason Anderson
Beneath the neorealist façade simmers an intensity that is far more lurid and operatic in nature.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Visconti's greatest achievement is how he mixes realism and melodrama.
