Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Because there are no characters animating his panorama, all this serves to prove is that though Forman's movie is broader than Frears', it is also shallower.
– Carrie Rickey,

rotten:
The results are too pretty and well acted to be a total washout, but the fascination with evil and power that gives the novel intensity is virtually absent; what remains is mainly petty malice and mild cynicism.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

rotten:
Milos Forman and Jean-Claude Carriere, while fiddling with the plot of this deliciously nasty tale, have studiously embalmed its spirit.
– Richard Schickel,

fresh:
Valmont is a superb piece of craftsmanship, impeccable in every detail from lighting to costuming, but as a work of art it remains tentative and blurred.
– Dave Kehr,

rotten:
Colin Firth's Valmont is pleasant, a dreadful thing to say about one of literature's most magnetic seducers.
