What are critics saying?

Variety by

Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is an uneven, convoluted, certainly dispute-provoking study of sexual passion in which Marlon Brando gives a truly remarkable performance.

Chicago Reader by Dave Kehr

The surface plausibility is probably the contribution of Marlon Brando, whose performance has strength and detail enough to counterbalance Bertolucci's taste for pure psychological essence.

Empire by Emma Cochrane

Interesting for it's historical notoriety, but overlong and dull in places.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is one of the great emotional experiences of our time.

The New York Times by Vincent Canby

Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is a beautiful, courageous, foolish, romantic, and reckless film.
