Bonnie and Clyde don't really know that killing kills. The film does -- unlike the run of movies about violence now, which mostly know that killing sells.

Bonnie and Clyde is the most excitingly American American movie since The Manchurian Candidate. The audience is alive to it.
Pauline Kael, New Yorker

Considered New Hollywood's moment of arrival, tipping square critic Bosley Crowther into retirement (The New York Times, they were a-changin').
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

It's by far the least controlled of Penn's films... but the pieces work wonderfully well, propelled by what was then a very original acting style.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

This inconsistency of direction is the most obvious fault of Bonnie and Clyde, which has some good ingredients, although they are not meshed together well.
Dave Kaufman, Variety
