Critic Reviews
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
As in bad plays, everyone always means exactly what he says and never has to think a second before saying it. There is no feeling for the complexity of the mental processes, for the mysterious ways in which the mind works.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A minor Visconti piece.
-
Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Commences as a mannered story concerning an invasion of privacy, only to ultimately reveal itself as an open wound of feelings and political paranoia, shaped into a compelling sit by an influential, widely beloved filmmaker.
-
Jordan Cronk, Slant Magazine
Luchino Visconti's penultimate work makes its Region 1 digital debut, finally restoring the film's original aspect ratio via an authentic, uncompromised transfer.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
And, no, Conversation Piece is not nearly as impressive, ambitious, or powerful as The Leopard. But that doesn't make it a bad film.
