The Leopard Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Here is a work of a type we rarely see anymore -- a sweeping popular epic, with obvious similarities to Gone with the Wind.
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
Visconti's epic is a work of astonishing proportions. The breadth and depth of his treatment of the subject matter is on a scale almost unimaginable in recent cinema.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
To transpose a book into a movie means to destroy the form of the original in order to re-create the effect in another medium... Visconti has preserved the form without apparently suspecting it had any meaning.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The film aches with regret over a crumbling empire, but its feelings are complicated by the wise prince, who recognizes his place on the wrong side of history.

Cole Smithey
[VIDEO ESSAY] Lancaster's every movement and facial expression transmits the text and subtext of his Italian character with a sense of regional authenticity that is beguiling.
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
A fine drama that Tolstoy would endorse, remarkable for relying not on conflict between the uncle and the nephew but rather on their thorough devotion to each other.
Variety
Variety Staff
A magnificent film, munificently outfitted and splendidly acted by a large cast dominated by Burt Lancaster's standout stint in the title role.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The film is a long, rich sigh at the end of the day, one that only Don Fabrizio can hear.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Artistically drawn as if from an old master's hand.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The Leopard is more than a tad too pleased by its own spots, but in this case the source material and its director's intentions were almost accidentally an appropriate match.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Stately, elegiac, ruminative, the film truly does now feel seamlessly all of a piece -- and looks glorious.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Watching it now, a more than 40-year-old evocation of an era now some 150 years in the past, we can still feel his ache from here.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
One of the greatest motion pictures of all time, as well as one of the most politically profound.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
One of the greatest of all historical costume epics.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Lancaster [comes] through majestically, bringing formidable presence and melancholy to the role of a still-virile great man who sees the writing on the wall.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
The feeling at the end of this masterpiece -- a profound meditation on mortality, really -- is so pitch-perfect and conveys so many complexities at a very simple level that The Leopard has become one of the greatest of all epics.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The greatest film of its kind made since World War II -- its only rivals are Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Visconti's own Senso.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Leopard was written by the only man who could have written it, directed by the only man who could have directed it, and stars the only man who could have played its title character.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Not only Visconti's greatest film but a work that transcends its creator, achieving a sensitivity and intelligence without parallel in his other films.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
A stunning visualization of a mood of melancholy and nostalgia at the passing of an age.
