Critic Reviews of "Papillon"
Richard Schickel TIME MagazineSeptember 23, 2015McQueen works hard and al most manages to triumph over his star presence, while Hoffman submerges himself eccentrically and amusingly in his coward's role.
Don Druker Chicago ReaderSeptember 23, 2015Director Franklin J. Schaffner has succeeded in making a two-and-a-half-hour film that seems like six.
Variety Staff VarietyMarch 26, 2009The script is very good within its limitations, but there is insufficient identification with the main characters.
Michael Booth Denver PostAugust 03, 2007A rousing drama of endurance, opportunism and friendship under fire.
Chris Petit Time OutJune 24, 2006With Schaffner unable to find the necessary perspective to prevent the film from becoming unevenly episodic, it ends up looking as if it were tacked together by at least three different directors.
Vincent Canby New York TimesMay 09, 2005A big, brave, stouthearted, sometimes romantic, sometimes silly melodrama with the kind of visual sweep you don't often find in movies anymore.
David Parkinson Radio TimesSeptember 23, 2015But Dustin Hoffman produces a splendid depiction of cunning corruption that acts as a perfect balance to McQueen's superstar charisma.
Christopher Hudson The SpectatorSeptember 23, 2015Papillon was not a complicated man but his experiences changed him almost beyond recognition, and McQueen does a good job of portraying the survivor, broken in body, but not in spirit.
Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.comSeptember 06, 2015This consummate prison-break epic features Steve McQueen's greatest transformation of character creation over the course of his estimable film career.
John J. Puccio Movie MetropolisMay 14, 2011The narrative unfolds slowly, but the two stars are compelling and cinematographer Fred Koenekamp's photography is striking.
Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.ComFebruary 10, 2007Based on the memoirs of Henri Charriere, the only man to have successfully escaped from Devil's Island, this is a grim and brutal prison drama, made more likable due to the lead star performances.
