Critic Reviews of "The Black Dahlia"
AV ClubSeptember 23, 2006The pairing of Ellroy and De Palma proves a marriage made in hardboiled heaven.
Time OutSeptember 23, 2006Ellroy's prose crawls into characters' secret hearts and under the reader's skin, but its foetid horrors become kitschy here, the script too streamlined and the lead performances too shallow to dredge the story's depths.
New YorkerSeptember 23, 2006The picture is a kind of fattened goose that's been stuffed with goose-liver pâté. It's overrich and fundamentally unsatisfying.
ReelViewsSeptember 23, 2006This is far from one of the director's better efforts and should be avoided by all those who are not sworn De Palma boosters.
New York ObserverSeptember 20, 2006Mr. De Palma and his collaborators have been unable to translate Mr. Ellroy's depth of feeling into cinematic equivalents.
Village VoiceSeptember 15, 2006There are moments when The Black Dahlia projects a spectral world, but its ghosts in broad daylight are elusive at best.
Stop SmilingFebruary 17, 2014The Black Dahlia doesn't solve the eternal De Palma dilemma, but it sure does fascinate.
Matt's Movie ReviewsJuly 06, 2010An over indulgent and often confusing stab at film noir, The Black Dahlia leaves little to be desired as director Brian De Palma continues to prove that his best days are behind him.
Beyond HollywoodApril 26, 2008DePalma is like a magician who dazzles us with a trick only to show us, alas, it really was only a trick, and in the meantime he's stolen our watch.
Eye for FilmDecember 07, 2007You've barely time to soak up one revelation before another one is dumped on you from a great height.
eFilmCritic.comJuly 23, 2007Won't do much to dissuade the common rap against De Palma as a cold technician who takes projects just for the elaborate set pieces they provide him.
