Critic Reviews

The result is a pleasingly discursive film that depicts Klimt and the ideals and locales of fin de siecle Vienna.Full Review

Richard James Havis
The Hollywood Reporter

Raoul Ruiz's absurdly overwrought phantasmagoria tries to recast the notorious Viennese artist's life as a kind of Divine Comedy: Inferno.Full Review

Ken Fox
TV Guide

Ruiz is so intent on harnessing the painter to his own -- here, rather arid -- relativism that he never manages to convey the unfettered eros that brings crowds flocking to exhibitions of Klimt's work, even as critics hold their noses.Full Review

Ella Taylor
L.A. Weekly

Klimt comes alive only fitfully at best, and it seems that for those occasional moments when it comes into focus there is an equal number that are merely silly.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

The shortened version is lovely to look at, but the stilted dialogue and crude overdubbing in scenes where English is not spoken often make it an impenetrable hodgepodge.Full Review
