The Passenger Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A creator of lonely worlds, Mr. Antonioni painted one of his most vivid portraits of isolation with The Passenger.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
A movie with which one can grow old, in the same sense that one can see great productions of Hamlet at 15 and 40 and 70 years of age, measuring the relative depth of one's experience of life and the world against its mature vision.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger is more than the re-release of a great film -- it's a rare chance to see a major cinematic work, perhaps more than once, on the big screen.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
What in different hands would have been a bombastic psychological thriller becomes a stark study of existential alienation.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
One of the deepest, most rigorous, and most rewarding films of its era.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film's final seven-minute shot is one of the great denouements in film history.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Antonioni's 1975 landmark.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The Passenger isn't finally the masterpiece some have made it out to be, but it retains a singular intrigue: It's the first, and probably the last, thriller ever made about depression.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It's a movie from the past that still points ahead to the future: a cinematic rite of passage that raptly recalls a time when the world may have been as uncertain as now, but the movies were often lovelier and more daring.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A fatalistic tale of identity, destiny, coincidence, existential malaise, and the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
The New Yorker
Penelope Gilliatt
Earlier Antonioni films have often seemed studied, but not this one. Its details are easy and apropos.
Observer
Rex Reed
The Passenger has lost none of its power in 30 years.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Leisurely and old-fashioned as The Passenger may be, this tour de force ending is worth the wait.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Next to this film, Blowup seems a facile, though necessary, preliminary. By all means go [see it].
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Michelangelo Antonioni's film about a man on the run from himself dazzles from first shot to last.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Boasting a great performance from Nicholson, Antonioni's third English-speaking film, arguably his last great work.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I admire the movie more 30 years later. I am more in sympathy with it.
TV Guide
What is more interesting than the 'whys' and 'hows' of the plot however, are the 'where' and 'when.'
