The Brothers Karamazov Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I would avoid this film as readily as one avoids Siberia.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Conspicuous assets are the striking color photography and the musical score, both of which help a great deal in enhancing the drama's savage and soulful moods.
Film Culture
Arlene Croce
The performances, either through uncertain casting or the inequalities of the script, achieve no unity or style or attack.
The Reporter
Stanley Kauffmann
In spite of all the virtues cited above, one leaves the film with a sense of disappointment. Part of this is due to the shortcomings of the script.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
While not as terrible as his subsequent adaptation of Lord Jim, this 1958 Hollywoodization of the Dostoyevsky novel by writer-director Richard Brooks is pretty grotesque all the same.
Variety
Variety Staff
Bold handling of crude unbridled passion, of violently conflicting ideas, and of earthy humor makes up The Brothers Karamazov.
TV Guide
The film feels like 'Classics Comics' instead of a classic.
