Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Reed is craftsman enough to make an efficient family entertainment out of Lionel Bart's musical, but not artist enough to put back any of Dickens' teeth which Bart had so assiduously drawn.
– W. Stephen Gilbert,

rotten:
In retrospect, it seems emblematic of the triviality Reed descended to in the last years of his career. The Third Man it's not.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
There's plenty of mileage left in the famous story.
– Rich Gold,

19 Feb 2008
rotten:
The focus of the movie is so wide, and the logistics of the production so heavy, that Oliver himself, dutifully played by 9-year-old Mark Lester, gets flattened out and almost lost, as if he had been run over by a studio bulldozer.
– Vincent Canby,

fresh:
Oliver! is a timeless classic that will be as lovable in 10 or 20 years as it is today.
