Quills (2000) scores a combined 2.41 out of 4 stars for Plume NoirePlume Noire
With such a fiery subject, the Marquis De Sade, it would have been easy to make of Quills a voyeuristic, gratouitously shocking film, or on the contrary, a puritanical and condemning lampoon. Philip Kaufman (Unbearable Lightness of Being) avoids the trap ...read the complete Quills movie review at Plume Noire
Quills (2000) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for Dallas Observer (Gregory Weinkauf)Dallas Observer (Gregory Weinkauf)
Quills is bound to titillate some, but for most it's likely to summon little more than a few Oscars and appreciative yawns. ...read the complete Quills movie review at Dallas Observer (Gregory Weinkauf)

Quills (2000) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)
One gets the feeling Kaufman was so intent on putting fury and fanaticism on-screen, he forgot about having it serve any greater purpose. Which makes Quills the film equivalent of one of de Sade's novels: artifice, without art. ...read the complete Quills movie review at Baltimore Sun (Chris Kaltenbach)

The acting is passionate, but the film would be more effective if it presented a more thoroughgoing lesson in the raging horrors that swept through European culture during the era of the French Revolution. ...read the complete Quills movie review at Christian Science Monitor (David Sterritt)

"The film failed because it was too dull to be entertaining and it didn't have anything startling to say about a startling subject." ...read the complete Quills movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
