Faye Dunaway has never looked better than when she wore a hat titled to one side and aimed a gun right at the camera for the poster shot of Bonnie and Clyde. This watershed film from Arthur Penn tells the dreamlike, obviously fictionalized tale of ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at filmcritic.com
Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review
We reviewed a nice looking full screen version of Bonnie and Clyde in May 92, but now Warner Home Video has released a letterboxed version (14299, $35) that looks even better. The letterboxing has an aspect ratio of about 1.85:1, adding some picture ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review
MovieMusings.com (Ken Rosenberg)
Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were the heart of the Barrow gang, the brazen band of 1930s bank robbers whose effrontery and panache made them folk heroes. Their colorful story became the movie that ushered in an era of unprecedented realism in ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at MovieMusings.com (Ken Rosenberg)

anus er bygd på den sanne historien om Bonnie Parker og Clyde Barrow, forbryterparet som reiste rundt i Midtvesten og robbet banker under Depresjonen. Filmen er en slags hyllest til deres anarkistiske og eventyrlystne ånd. Her romantiseres det lovløse ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at DVDnett.no

Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
The film that launched a few hundred bored, violent, politically well-meaning but hopelessly counterproductive revolutionaries. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are smart, nonconformist, in love, and rob banks. Freud would have something to say, about ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Chicago Reader
When Fritz Lang filmed it in 1938 (as You Only Live Once), the story had a metaphysical thrust. When Nicholas Ray filmed it in 1948 (They Live by Night), it was romantic and doom laden. But by the time Arthur Penn got to it in 1967, it was pure myth, the ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Chicago Reader

Bonnie and Clyde (1967) was one of the most famous, and groundbreaking, films in cinematic history.

DVD Authority.com (Matt Brighton)
Thatââ¬â¢s not exactly a tagline you saw much in the 60ââ¬â¢s, but then again ââ¬ÅBonnie and Clydeââ¬Â wasnââ¬â¢t a very typical movie for that decade. Though somewhat of a failure upon its initial release, the movie caught on and was ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at DVD Authority.com (Matt Brighton)

Moviemaven's Haven
I've heard a lot about how great this film is supposed to be. The final is so good. So at the very least, I was expecting a pretty decent flick. I definitely was shocked with my own opinion of it.
Warren Beatty seems way to friendly to be a killer. He ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Moviemaven's Haven
Movie Vault (Goatdog)
1967's Bonnie & Clyde came roaring out of the gate and fell flat. It was a flop, at least at first. Nobody knew how to deal with the shocking violence and seeming sociopathic characters. Apparently, Pauline Kael trumpeted its virtues, and the film was ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Movie Vault (Goatdog)

Adrift in the Depression-era Southwest, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker embark on a life of crime. They mean no harm. They crave adventure - and each other. Soon we start to love them too. But nothing in film history has prepared us for the cascading ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at DVD MovieGuide
Time Out
Reclaiming the American gangster movie after it had been stolen by the Nouvelle Vague, Penn's film was so successful (and so imitated) that it inevitably met with some grudging devaluation. But it's still great: half comic fairytale, half brutal fact, it ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Time Out

Thirty years after its release, the debate continues over Arthur Penn's simple, truthful and hardcore look at American criminal violence. When it was released in 1967, 'Bonnie and Clyde' stirred up quite a debate over whether or not it "glamourized" ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Walter Frith
Edinburgh U Film Society (Sarah Woolner)
Based around the true story of the famous gangster duo, Bonnie and Clyde, Warren Beatty's film (for although Arthur Penn directed it, it is definitely Beatty's film) opened new avenues in American film making.

Bright Lights Film Journal (Alan Vanneman)
Clyde Barrow could be fairly described as having a short fuse. By the time he cashed in his chips at age 24 heâd been responsible, directly or indirectly, for the deaths of at least fourteen men. Bonnie Parker probably never killed anyone, but it ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Bright Lights Film Journal (Alan Vanneman)

The UK Critic (Ian Waldron-Mantgani)
Always and perhaps forever, "Bonnie and Clyde" seems to me like one of those parties where everyone is smiling, but you can't believe anyone is actually having a good time. It was the cinematic thunderbolt of the late 1960s. It continues to inspire new ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at The UK Critic (Ian Waldron-Mantgani)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
There is a moment in "Bonnie and Clyde'' when Bonnie, frightened and angry, runs away from Clyde through a field of wheat, and as he pursues her, a cloud sweeps across the field and shadows them. Seen in a high, wide-angle shot, it is one of those ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Magnifiée et modifiée tout à la fois par un encodage 16/9 très réussi, la copie positive est semée de poussières blanches (dans les plans de nuit en rase campagne, on croit voir des lucioles) et de quelques « brûlures de cigarettes ». Elle est ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at DVDRAMA
Quick Reviews (J.D. Funari)
Overrated. Good performances from Beatty and Dunaway, but offers no insight on title relationship other than typical "disorganized violent criminals getting what they deserved." Gene Wilder stands out with his bizarre comedic role. A young Gene Hackman ...read the complete Bonnie and Clyde movie review at Quick Reviews (J.D. Funari)
