The Decline of the American Empire Reviews
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Asks all the right questions about the sexual revolution and makes some interesting connections between eros and middle age.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
There's very little plot in Decline of the American Empire...but when the dialogue is this good and the characters this compelling, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
As a movie with a lot of clever talk about sex and love, this is pretty good. As a movie about the decline of the American empire it pales in comparison to the real thing.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Subtle and wittty in discussing sexual politics in the academic world, Denis Arcand's film deservedly won the Oscar for Foreign Film in 1986.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
What Arcand has devised is a kind of Nia Vardalos movie in tenured-faculty clothing: Our Big Fat Bourgeois Salon ... It trades only the crudest ironies and screenwriting mechanics.
Cinema Writer
Jay Antani
instead of being wickedly funny, it's repellent before becoming a total snore
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here is a movie where everybody talks about nothing but sex, and the real subject is wit.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Give Empire credit for giving Woody Allen a run for his money in '86, but its force has all but vanished today.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Arcand's message might not be the happy, happy, joy, joy we have come to expect from our movies but he does shed some truth, no matter how hard it might be to digest.
