Cobra Verde Ratings & Reviews

Dennis Harvey
Kinski lends burning charisma...
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The underwritten dramatization is saved by the stunning surreal visuals.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
As odd as it is mesmerizing.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The results are like Kinski's performance: baffling, breathtaking and strangely beautiful.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Those who give this offbeat production a chance will find it unforgettable.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Linear storytelling was never Herzog's strong suit even under the best of conditions. His strength lies in capturing lucid lunacy on film, and Manoel da Silva's descent into the jaws of madness is a straight shot into the heart of darkness.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The final third of this film contains sequences of horrifying sublimity and ethereal beauty, moments that have a clarity and power beyond the reach of reason.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Verde is too blankly amoral to sustain interest, but the film has isolated moments of haunting poetry.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
It's easy to understand why this was Herzog's final collaboration with the actor, but Kinski's performance nevertheless serves up a potent confusion of documentary and fiction that has long been an essential element of Herzog's filmmaking.

Herzog & Kinski = Logic and passion.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
The finest adaptation of Joseph Conrad not based on Conrad.
Apollo Guide
Jaime N. Christley
Flaws acknowledged, 'Cobra Verde' is a stunning, beautiful epic.
