  Square pegs do not fit into round holes. Disregard the critical reviews on this one, especially if you enjoy Southern gothic dysfunction.

  Considering the talent involved (Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor directed by John Huston?) Reflections in a Golden Eye is a colossal waste of anything you can ever think of, including the time I put into watching it. The story is creepy, dull, moronic and completely fucking pointless. Lobotomize Tennessee Williams, stick him in front of a typewriter and on a good day this is what you'd end up with. There was not one character I didn't want to take a baseball bat to out of utter disappointment. It's like Huston filmed more of a movie, lost a good chunk of it and just half-assed this together or some nervous studio executives took the wheel. Between Robert Forster's naked horseback rides and Julie Harris' little Philipino manservant who made Liberace look like John Wayne. Some of the cinematography was nice, as was Taylor's body double's ass but there was just too much the audience wasn't let in on storywise to make me clap at the end. Avoid at all costs!!!

  Its a pretentious mess. Huston's stylistic choices force the obvious metaphor down the audience's throats while simultaneous confusing them with useless character details (the camera movements in the final scene make the ending unintentionally hilarious). Taylor is bearable,… More
  Its a pretentious mess. Huston's stylistic choices force the obvious metaphor down the audience's throats while simultaneous confusing them with useless character details (the camera movements in the final scene make the ending unintentionally hilarious). Taylor is bearable, but Brando is awful. His accent is incoherent and his character choices are bizarre at best. Its remarkably terrible, given the talent involved.

  Ultimately, this movie doesn't accomplish what it should accomplish. This is partially because it was constrained by censorship, but also because there are a lot of mistakes in the writing and direction. John Huston layers the whole movie in a warm golden glow, which is an intelligent and compelling choice, but he doesn't provide the subject matter with the same distinction as the aesthetic element. Elizabeth Taylor does surprisingly mediocre work in the lead, but Marlon Brando fans should make a point of seeing this. As an army Major repressing his own homosexuality, he does some of his bravest and most visceral acting in this film. His performance is without fault, but the same cannot be said for the movie itself. It's a blurry, sometimes haphazard venture, but it's worth a look for Brando.
