Featured Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Finds a tone that remains more entertaining than depressing, more absorbing than alarming. ...read the complete Quills movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Two assumptions can readily be made about any motion picture centered around the Marquis de Sade. The first is that the material will be of a sexual nature. The second is that the movie will not be a lighthearted romp. ...read the complete Quills movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Some are born evil, others choose evil, and some have evil thrust upon them. We are most inclined to forgive the members of the first category. The Marquis de Sade, for example, was hard-wired from birth as one of the most villainous of God's creatures. ...read the complete Quills movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Deliciously witty and delectably erotic, QUILLS delves into the sordid life of provocative writer Marquis de Sade (the man we can thank for the word "sadism").With heavy breathing over the opening credits, this historical fiction playfully romps through...read the complete Quills (2000) review at hybridmagazine.com

Home Theater Info (Doug MacLean)

When most people of think of the evil depths that man can sink. One name is always on the list, the Marquis de Sade. He was so perverted, so evil and twisted that the word sadism was coined to describe his actions. There have been several films that have...read the complete Quills (2000) review at Home Theater Info (Doug MacLean)

Plume 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 (2000) review at Plume Noire

Time (Richard Schickel)

This is soft-gore porn, obvious in its strategies, witless in the play of its ideas, absurdist only in its pretense to seriousness....read the complete Quills (2000) review at Time (Richard Schickel)

Movie Parables (Michael Elliott)

No matter how well-crafted, well-acted, or well-written a script may be, one cannot completely ignore the fact that the subject matter is odious....read the complete Quills (2000) review at Movie Parables (Michael Elliott)
