Boudu Saved from Drowning Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Free Press
Paul Schrader
It is a tribute to the permanence of the cinema and the art of Jean Renoir that [Boudu Saved From Drowning] is today, dollar for dollar, one of the best movie investments in Los Angeles.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Renoir keeps it all beautifully, humorously on track.
The New Republic
Pauline Kael
Boudu is a more leisurely film than we are used to now, not that it is long, or slow, but that the camera isn't in a rush, the action isn't overemphatic, shots linger on the screen for an extra split second - we have time to look at them, to take them in.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
The film needs no justification outside itself as a rich, funny, rewarding experience.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Amid the early-talkie crudeness you can see Renoir discover what it means to visually evoke the unpredictable flow of life with composition, movement, and depth.
TV Guide
This social comedy is another masterpiece from Renoir.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Even enterprise without state can be amply rewarded in the films of Renoir.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Recognized for its marvelous characterizations, its splendid acting and its inventive film technique.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
One of Renoir's very best films.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Jean Renoir's effortless 1932 masterpiece is as informal, beguiling, and subversive as its eponymous hero.
