Critic Reviews of "Blow Out"
Film.comApril 30, 2011Perfectly contrasts movies that reveal the truth against those which avoid it - a blood-drenched yet stake-free slasher vs. the far more insidious horrors of all-American living.
Chicago ReaderMarch 27, 2009This 1981 release is one of Brian De Palma's more interesting and better-made thrillers, though it's even more abjectly derivative than his Hitchcock imitations.
VarietyMarch 26, 2009With attractive leads and a stylish flair for suspense, De Palma misses sustaining involvement by his distracting allusions to prior films.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Where Antonioni's images made you think, De Palma's merely make you blink, and the baroque plot confuses as often as it frightens.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004A movie which continues [De Palma] practice of making cross-references to other movies, other directors, and actual historical events, and which nevertheless is his best and most original work.
Stream on DemandMay 04, 2017... classic De Palma, with its sinister elegance, meticulous cinematic choreography, voyeuristic obsessions, and fascination with guilt, as well as his most human and mortally vulnerable film.
The Film StageJuly 20, 2016In a career fixated on the machinations of filmmaking presented through both a carnal and political eye, Brian De Palma's fascinations converged idyllically with Blow Out.
Film Freak CentralMay 18, 2011If cynicism were a superhero franchise, Blow Out would be its origin story.
Q Network Film DeskMay 02, 2011The final moments of Blow Out are among the most shocking and powerful of De Palma's oeuvre, tacking a final note of irony onto a story that is in every other way a straightforward denunciation of power run amok.
Parallax ViewMay 01, 2011Blow Out integrates De Palma style with narrative urgency and thematic consistency better than any of his films.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulAugust 20, 2009In the amazingly hyperbolic finale, DePalma conflates patriotism, dirty tricks, violence against women, and slasher movies into a single sick joke.
