The Passionate Thief Ratings & Reviews
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
It is still drolly amusing without ever becoming too frantic for its own good and film buffs may get a kick out of seeing Magnani in a role that is somewhat lighter than the heavy dramatic fare that she was famous for.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Screenwriter D'Amico called Monicelli "a superb director, with the rare gift of comic timing - which cannot be taught, either you have it or you don't." No one seeing "The Passionate Thief" will care to argue the point.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
There isn't much of a story in "The Passionate Thief," though much - including shimmering life, lust and comedy - happens.
Village Voice
Zachary Wigon
While the madcap adventures provide plenty of entertainment, it's Monicelli's sympathetic portrait of complex individuals ... that wins viewers over.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's best just to yield to it - easy enough to do when you're falling into Magnani's ample embrace.
