The Stranger Ratings & Reviews
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
It's a stroke of genius that nothing in "Lo Straniero" feels scripted, not even Meursault's final confession.
Los Angeles Free Press
Gene Youngblood
Literature and cinema - incompatible but habitual bedfellows - are fused flawlessly in this adaptation of Camus' existentialist masterpiece.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Visconti, like Camus, realizes that the meaning of The Stranger is not to be found in the plot but in the mood. The mood is ennui, the dominant emotion of a man who hardly cares enough to tell his own story.
TIME Magazine
Visconti's film of The Stranger follows the action of the novel with hardly a comma missing -- and therein lies both its strength and its weakness.
TV Guide
As is often the case when a great filmmaker brings the work of a great novelist to the screen, The Stranger is an utter failure, in terms of Camus.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Camus on the beach, via Visconti. Unsatisfactory journey into existentialist angst.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
The result is a totally schematic vulgarization of Camus' philosophical treatise in novel form.
New York Times
Because The Stranger deserves so much more, it is all the more disheartening to see an effort so painstakingly loyal wash out as a mere story line.
