Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The performance of Abraham, who won the Best Actor Oscar for it, is monumental, and so is Forman's direction.

fresh:
Forman's tormented, iconoclastic subjects are often pitted against iconic or impersonal antagonists, but Amadeus' conflict remains rivetingly intimate, in spite of its sumptuous, larger-than-life settings.

fresh:
The subject of artistic creation is typically handled badly in the movies.... [Amadeus] treats the subject of creativity in a fresh way.

On a production level and as an evocation of a time and place, Amadeus is loaded with pleasures.
