Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Luis Bunuel returned to his native Spain to create this 1961 masterpiece, which marked his rebirth as a filmmaker of international repute.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Whether Senor Bunuel means his picture as a reflection of all people or just the people of Spain is not clear nor, indeed, is it essential. It is an ugly, depressing view of life. And, to be frank about it, it is a little old-fashioned, too.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
For Luis Bunuel, impiety is a genetic trait and an essential facet of his art. That his work also lifts the spirit -- imparting a delirious sensation of the divine-is a most welcome incongruity, one exemplified by his prizewinning 1961 effort, Viridiana.
