The Boys from Brazil Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
This picture is another of [producer] Lew Grade's international blockbuster packages; the deals are worked out in terms of story elements that will sell and of performers with followings in as many markets as possible.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
A film too dopey and campy to be taken seriously, too mordant and sober to be much fun, and too ludicrous and melodramatic to be at all defensible as a social commentary.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
An impressive feat of carefully designed and modulated academic filmmaking, a class job in the tradition of Hitchcock or Wyler at their most polished.
TheBluFile.com
Dustin Putman
This is a terrifically chilling entertainment, one that deserves a spot alongside the best paranoid thrillers of the 1970s.
TV Guide
Fast-paced, gripping and totally ludicrous.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The plot is less suspenseful than the overacting contest between the two leads, Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck, who spend most of their screen time one-upping each other in affectations.
Variety
Variety Staff
With two excellent antagonists in Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier, The Boys from Brazil presents a gripping, suspenseful drama for nearly all of its two hours -- then lets go at the end and falls into a heap.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's more a silly and unbelievable pic than a bad one, but very watchable.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The film loses the little credibility that Ira Levin's potboiler had, but helmer Schaffner was smart to cast Olivier as Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and to surround him with superb actors
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Silly.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Gregory Peck is miscast, but the film is entertaining enough.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Too funny to dislike.

Brian Mckay
Intriguing tale about nazi war criminals cloning Hitler.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Now, if only Uta Hagen and Rosemary Harris were rolling on the floor next to them, Boys From Brazil would have been an bigger scream.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...given the caliber of the cast and crew, it should have been a whole lot better.
