Ash Wednesday Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
John Simon
Ash Wednesday is so bad that even Liz Taylor's performance becomes almost inconspicuous in it. Fonda and Keith Baxter do act a bit, but only just, and Helmut Berger doesn't even try, which seems to come naturally to him.
Los Angeles Free Press
Dick Lochte
The problem is that the screenplay is unusually soft.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Mostly the picture is structured along soap opera lines. If there is anything to be said about middle-aged trauma it finds no voice in this film.
TV Guide
Another in the long string of mediocre films by Taylor.
Variety
Variety Staff
Taylor, fashionably gowned and bejewelled carries the film almost single-handedly. Fonda is excellent in his climatic appearance, an usually superb casting idea.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
This is not a male chauvinist's conception of a woman, but her hairdresser's, full of envy, awe and superficial compassion.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The whole movie, indeed, feels longer than it is. It's 15 minutes short of two hours, and still it takes forever to be over.
