Soylent Green Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Penelope Gilliatt
This pompously prophetic thing of a film hasn't a brain in its beanbag.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
Where so many science fiction visions of the era have dated, this gritty creation of a depressed (and depressing) future recycling the junk of the past, and where assisted suicide has become simply another social option, looks all the more real.
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
Its greatest attribute is not that it accurately anticipated many things about humanity's future. "Soylent Green" stands the test of time because it does these things while slamming you right where real anxiety festers and brews . . . in your guts.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Not a terribly good movie, it's nonetheless not a bad guess at a future...
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Grounded in such a recognizable reality that the science-fiction elements are almost indiscernible.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
It seems, for all its futuristic malarkey, as contrived and antiquated a melodrama as may be seen any night on the Late Show.
The Hollywood Reporter
Alan R. Howard
Soylent Green is Edward G. Robinson's movie. As a man who remembers the wonders of civilization before it died, he is witty, cultivated and endlessly appealing.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Not well thought-out and a genuine disappointment for all its visibility in the popular conversation
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...a movie based on an ending. And if you can't figure out that ending ten minutes into the movie, you aren't paying attention.
TV Guide
A sluggishly directed look at life and death in the 21st century.
Variety
The somewhat plausible and proximate horrors in the story of Soylent Green carry the production over its awkward spots to the status of a good futuristic exploitation film.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Uneven and slightly muddled futuristic horror story -- not really science fiction, more like an antipollution PSA gone berserk.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Modestly entertaining.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
This futuristic thriller just seems to keep getting better with age. An entertaining sci-fi flick done before special effects took over the genre.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Their 21st-century New York occasionally is frightening but it is rarely convincingly real.
Austin Chronicle
A doozy.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Thanks to Phil Hartman's riotous Saturday Night Live impersonation of Charlton Heston's hysterical detective from Soylent Green, people who've never seen Richard Fleischer's film know its surprise ending.
