Carlos Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Christopher Kelly
Carlos deserves mention alongside the greatest suspense thrillers ever made.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Absorbing
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
It manages to deliver a steady stream of action thrills even as it reconsiders the international terrorism of the 1960s and '70s for lessons important today.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A terrifying portrait of an egomaniac who demands absolute obedience, and craves it even more when his power and relevance are drained away.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It is one of the best pictures of the year.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Carlos isn't just the best movie of the year, it is arguably one of the single greatest motion picture I have ever seen.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's a subtle, ultimately staggering portrayal of a bloody-minded ideologue who convinced only himself.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The length of the scene ties in to the unhurried, forensic calm of Carlos as a whole.
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
In its full-length version, Carlos stretches out to a languorous yet surprisingly taut five and a half hours, though it has also been cut down to an equally effective -- though not as detailed -- two-and-a-half-hour version.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Why turn a movie into a marathon? Because time may be fleeting, but it's mysteriously elastic as well. Once you've committed to an experience as intense as this one, hours become much less than the sum total of their minutes.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Carlos is exciting entertainment, even if its subject's two-decade reign of terror is reprehensible.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Carlos steps into the abyss created by the loss of political hope and fills it with blood and terror, playing to the faithful with anti-imperialist rhetoric and a pantomime of that old-time revolutionary feeling.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A whole bunch of dense and interesting drama, and an honest effort to reckon with a challenging history that continues to resonate in our own time.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
[A] hypnotic and sprawling five-hour-plus piece of cinematic genius from master French filmmaker Olivier Assayas...
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's a dynamite movie, and you can see it in the full 330-minute version or the 140-minute cut. Either way, see it. It'll knock you sideways.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Carlos is mostly tense and thrilling, revealing the poisonous side of global citizenship.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Olivier Assayas' three-part drama about Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan-born radical-Marxist terrorist of the '70s and '80s, is a rivetingly journalistic account of a scoundrel's rise and fall.
Village Voice
Rob Nelson
Carlos suggests that the genre-hopping Assayas could maximize his own ambition even within the tight confines of a prison drama.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Both a powerhouse piece of docudrama-thriller filmmaking and a cannily politicized work.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Shot by shot, scene by scene, it's a fluid and enthralling piece of work. I wasn't bored for a millisecond.
