The Pied Piper Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
Jacques Demy's version of The Pied Piper is as distanced and uncertain as his masterpiece The Young Girls of Rochefort is ecstatically sure of itself.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
This is an extremely nasty critique of modern society masquerading as a candy-colored kiddie flick.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This version of The Pied Piper is not exactly told as a children's fable.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
More of a curio piece for fans of Demy, The Pied Piper mostly seems a missed opportunity of the creepy legend.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A dark and smoky affair that, although set in Germany during the Black Death summer of 1349, suggests something brainstormed in a St. Marks Place head shop.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
The malignant side of Jacques Demy's enchantment
TV Guide
Though the legend is left intact, director Demy paints an unforgettable, horribly realistic portrait of the dreary life in the Middle Ages. This is no fairy tale for the kiddies.
