Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
Unfortunately, Stoppard the director does not match the invigorating brilliance of Stoppard the writer.

Mark Bourne
...On stage, the sprightly teleological riffs and bebop dialogue delight as ends in themselves. Here they're leaden and compromised. What happened?
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Really head-twisting adaptation of the play with fine work from Oldman and Roth.

Widgett Walls
Probably the best stage to screen adaptation I've ever seen. Essential.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Tom Stoppard's 1967 morality play has been translated into a high-spirited and well-acted film.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
As happens at the opera, one usually laughs (if one laughs at all) not because something is funny, but because one has successfully recognized that it is supposed to be funny.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
By trying to take advantage of the medium, Stoppard loses track of what makes his work so wonderful. This belongs on the stage.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
"belongs on the stage, but for what it is, not bad"
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
As a movie, this material, freely adapted by Stoppard, is boring and endless. It lies flat on the screen, hardly stirring.
Austin Chronicle
Kathleen Maher
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern may be dead, but they do save the day.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Staged as they are here, the jokes and the fourth-wall gamesmanship don't seem as funny as they did on the page.
