The Servant Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
The film on its most meaningful level is acid splashed into the wound of class distinction. But it is best enjoyed simply as a slick, spooky, frequently spellbinding study of corruption.
Village Voice
Zachary Wigon
The viewer is left with not only a portrait of the haves and the have-nots, but a glimpse of what such social stratification provokes -- an all-consuming madness as powerful as it is hidden.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Losey does masterly work in confined spaces, and Bogarde's performance as the scheming servant sets the standard for sly corruption.
Vogue
Joan Didion
A movie of great possibilities and great failings.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
An attempt to inflate a melodrama into Significance, by pretentious direction, that only succeeded in spoiling it as entertainment.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Glaciers might be melting, the polar caps might be crumbling, but not even the passage of half a century has taken the frozen edge off this brilliantly icy film.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Losey's ripping comedy of breakdown, a master class in ominous mise-en-scène
Slant Magazine
Matthew Connolly
The film's sidelong narrative glances suggest a privileged world brimming with innuendo-laden excess and barely concealed sexual jealousies.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Slight comedy based on the antics of a group of naughty Brit medical students at a London hospital.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A masterful cat and mouse game.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Opaque but hypnotically absorbing allegory of power, exploitation, and sublimated sexuality in a class-based society.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Servant is for the most part strong dramatic fare, though the atmosphere and tension is not fully sustained to the end.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
It is a flesh-creeping demonstration of human destructiveness that Mr. Pinter and Mr. Losey are presenting in this film, and it is made all the more horrifying by the genteel surroundings in which it occurs.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film is very studied and smooth, even though it deals in sexual hysteria; it could use some of the roughness and drive of Losey's early work.
