Amadeus Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Amadeus is one of the greatest film portraits of an artist for capturing the essence of their work.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The subject of artistic creation is typically handled badly in the movies... [Amadeus] treats the subject of creativity in a fresh way.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is Mozart as an eighteenth-century Bruce Springsteen, and yet (here is the genius of the movie) there is nothing cheap or unworthy about the approach.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Forman, who created a highly original film out of the virtually formless stage production of Hair, has preserved the fascinating heart of Mr. Shaffer's play, and made it available to millions who might never enter a legitimate theater. Well done.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Denby
Some of this exuberant, large-scale movie is charming and inventive, and some of it is pitifully trashy... The last third of Amadeus is a disaster.
Arizona Republic
Marsha McCreadie
What has happened in the long-awaited, much-acclaimed Miloš Forman film, with its script by Shaffer, is that the popularization has gone so broad and so far afield of its elevated subject as to make that subject seem ridiculous.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Cain
Peter Shaffer's Amadeus is scrumptiously beautiful, sizzlingly alive and bristling with social comedy. His screenplay contains the most piercing account of deadly envy since Othello, and is a heartbreaking account of a good man's fall from grace.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Amadeus on the Broadway stage was a dazzling feat of dramaturgy. Miloš Forman has fashioned it into a stunning motion picture.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The filmed Amadeus, despite Mozart on the soundtrack and the visual glories of Prague, is a shambles in terms of style and form.
Detroit Free Press
Catharine Rambeau
Abraham and Hulce make these men absolutely real; even powdered wigs and extravagant clothes cannot conceal the timeless emotions being played out.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Michael Fleming
What sets Amadeus apart from previous film biographies of composers is the skill with which music is integrated into the plot... For the music lover, the film is a feast.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
Hulce delivers a first-rate Mozart -- complete with the hyena laugh, clumsy gait and bathroom humor which historians assure us were accompaniments to the composer's artistic gifts.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
Shaffer does not pretend that this is a biography of Mozart; he calls it a "fantasia on fact," and taken in that frank vein, it is bewitching.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Bob Lundegaard
Amadeus, Peter Shaffer's award-winning play, stood [Mozart's] image on its ear, infuriating Mozart-lovers on two continents, and Miloš Forman's splendid film adaptation... should spread the word even more widely.
Newsday
Leo Seligsohn
This Amadeus is a 10-tiered wedding cake here, a feast, all right... But, when all is said and sung, the movie leaves one with the feeling of having overindulged on Viennese pastry rather than having sipped rare artistic wine.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Hulce, like the movie, may not be quite ideal, but that should not scare anyone away. There is enough enchantment in this big, generous, flawed movie for most everybody.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
The music is the movie's saving grace. The movie may be shrill and overbearing but, as a celebration of some of the most glorious music ever written, it contains moments of pure rapture.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
The surprise of Amadeus is that although it chronicles the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and contains selections from his work, much of the movie is gloriously plebeian. The film is a passionate triumph; its spirit is both lowdown and transcendent.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Rick Lyman
Salieri is the role of a lifetime, a career-maker, and Abraham knows it. He caresses his performance, a bleeding, awestruck confessional, and brings the movie a tender, resonant kind of unity.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
It is a sensual delight, photographed in a rich and resonant color and recorded for Dolby stereo. It is directed and edited with a masterful sense of the relationship of images of sight and sound.
