Many people may be offended by this film, and many more might not want to provide the patience it requires.

Thanks to the outstanding lead and Danny Boyle’s directorial finesse, this movie ends up being a fascinating mess.

Regardless of the cloudiness of the ideas executed, there is definitely some merit in its uniqueness, but ultimately it falters too badly to be a credible film experience.

This is a glorious landmark, and to allow its vision to be marred by the fact that it’s a typical product of 1915 would be a shame.

Maybe it’s gathered a little cult following somewhere, but I’m pretty sure that they’re not the crowd Bertolucci intended to preach to. This is a pointless, silly and unnecessary film.

It is an important movie not only as an example of 1970's cinema, but as a part of movie history. It goes beyond technical greatness – it’s an emotionally poignant picture about isolation, and society’s potentially dangerous implications on somebody’s mentality.

To describe the greatness of this picture is almost impossible. All I can say is that it emotionally affected me more than any film I’ve ever seen.
