The Conformist Ratings & Reviews
Vox
Aja Romano
It's easy to overlook how stark The Conformist's political and allegorical message is because it's just so damn beautiful.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
... heightened, exaggerated, distorted, the world reimagined by the filmmakers as something familiar yet not. It is magnificent ...
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The one and only quintessential all-time masterpiece that trades, extensively, on its ideal viewer's knowledge of the history of 20th Century interior design.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
It's a superb performance by Trintignant, whose presence is the film is physically passive even as he tries to play the confident, intellectual leader of men.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
It's yesteryear remembered with a combination of nostalgia and repulsion, a queasy combination that defines the film and gives it a kind of hideous allure.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Visual splendor reigns supreme in Bertolucci's dazzling historical dreamscape
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The unsettling blend of images and ideas in this movie cannot satisfactorily be disentangled or decoded, and it's the very strangeness of Bertolucci's masterpiece that has made it so influential in cinema history.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
Bertolucci's boldest and most expressive film ...
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Few films really deserve the term 'masterpiece,' but this one does.
Slant Magazine
Violet Lucca
Photographed by Vittorio Storraro, it's a mlange of the sensual haziness of '70s European art-house fair and the high-contrast, anxious angles of film noir
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
The art house meets Hollywood neo-noir in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist, a film that isn't recognized enough as the masterpiece that it is.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ravishing to the eye but less than fully satisfying to the mind.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The movie is pure magic as story, as drama, as photography, as conviction, as everything except its ideas.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
... seems every bit the masterpiece it was when first released by Paramount.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
As striking as Bertolucci's classic looks, there's even more powerful stuff in the storytelling.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
An eye-watering testimony to the erstwhile dash of international cinema.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
There are excesses in the film, but they are balanced by scenes of such unusual beauty and vitality that I couldn't care less.
Austin Chronicle
Nick Barbaro
[A] beautiful, complex, massively layered adaptation of the Alberto Moravia novel.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
More like a symphonic poem than a movie. Your breath is taken away by its baroque compositions.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
The brilliant mix of ideas, the audacity and originality of approach, the sensualist delight in the ravishing play of light and shadow -- all these remain, as bracing and inspirational as ever.
