Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
One of the better versions of Hamlet.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Kozintsev's film is probably the most cohesive of the five [Hamlets].
-
Marty Mapes, Movie Habit
Striking Soviet imagery will send chills down your spine

Doug Cummings, Filmjourney

-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Elsinore's prince, via the great Soviet director Grigory Kozintsev. A devastating, extraordinary achievement.
