Rotten
The girl, the villa and the performances are beautiful enough to bridge those sequences when the film, like its heroine, seems searching for explanations that will never be found.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Overview
A young American woman traveling through Italy finds herself in a strange Mediterranean villa where nothing seems quite right.

I wonder how much Carlo Ponti gave Roman Polanski to make Diary of Forbidden Dreams. Ten cents would have been excessive.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
All suitably throwaway, it's held together by our own curiosity and Polanski's obvious delight in observing such strange goings-on in rich summer villas.
