Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
A work of superb yet unpretentious film craftsmanship by a past master and an impeccable cast and crew.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Even when it threatens to sink into the familiar mechanics of a double-dealing heist story, Chabrol keeps curiosity piqued, the actors delightful and the outcome in sufficient question.
-
Amy Taubin, Village Voice
A failed attempt at frivolity.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Like The Grifters and Bound, The Swindle succeeds because, in addition to telling an engaging crime story with vivid characters, it never takes itself too seriously.
-
Paul Tatara, CNN.com
This is a piece of fluff that dissolves like a sugar cube as you watch it.
