Critic Reviews

Wong has acquired a loyal cult following over the years, and Dupont's exquisitely filmed episodes show why.Full Review

David Sterritt
Christian Science Monitor

Wong is sensationally expressive and projects a modern, coolly appraising sexuality. Visually eloquent and often dazzling, the movie is no less terrific. Piccadilly is both evidence of silent cinema at its rudely aborted peak and Wong's frustrated potential to have been among its greatest stars.Full Review

J. Hoberman
Village Voice

This remarkable British silent (1929) is special in many ways.Full Review

Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader

As casually insensitive and careless as you might expect from a film of this era, but it's also surprisingly crafty about finding ways to incite discussionFull Review

Janice Page
Boston Globe

German emigre Dupont directs all this with the style, flair and tension he brought to his 1925 Emil Jannings classic, "Variety." But it is Wong, shimmering with charisma, who gives Piccadilly its unforgettable center.Full Review
