Critic Reviews
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
The final third of this film contains sequences of horrifying sublimity and ethereal beauty, moments that have a clarity and power beyond the reach of reason.
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Verde is too blankly amoral to sustain interest, but the film has isolated moments of haunting poetry.
-
Ed Halter, Village Voice
It's easy to understand why this was Herzog's final collaboration with the actor, but Kinski's performance nevertheless serves up a potent confusion of documentary and fiction that has long been an essential element of Herzog's filmmaking.
-
Jeff Vice, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
As odd as it is mesmerizing.
-
Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune
The results are like Kinski's performance: baffling, breathtaking and strangely beautiful.
