Pretty Baby Ratings & Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
As compelling as it is humane.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
Weak on every level.
Washington Post
Judith Martin
It takes a robust and humorous approach to life in a brothel, where the work done is less important than the community spirit; and "naughty" would be a far better word to describe the sex scenes, while the rest is decidedly nice.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Louis Malle's Pretty Baby is a pleasant surprise: After all the controversy and scandal surrounding its production, it turns out to be a good-hearted, good-looking, quietly elegiac movie.
TV Guide
Beautifully shot and subtly rendered.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This visually evocative tale of a child prostitue, Louis Malle's first American film, is not as strong as his next (Atlantic City), but Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields are splendid.
Variety
Variety Staff
The story highlights are confined within a narrow range of ho-hum dramatization.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An inert and boring morality tale that should please neither sensationalists nor puritans.

Daniel Fienberg
While it oozes with atmosphere and Sarandon is superb, the story never comes together and Malle's treatment of Shields is kinda creepy.
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
Sexy Sarandon in an early role as the whore mom of child prostitute Brook Shields.

Christopher Null
worthy of strong consideration
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
It was once shocking and dull. Now it's just dull.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Frank Wilkins
Susan Sarandon, as Hattie, is seamless and flawless, not to mention at her shapliest best.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The most imaginative, most intelligent, and most original film of the year to date.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Dull and lifeless.
