Critic Reviews of "The King of Comedy"
New YorkerJune 27, 2016Scorsese infuses this tale with the passionate energy of New York street life and an outsider's wonder at the powerful workings of show business and studio craft.
Village VoiceJune 21, 2016Brilliantly keeps viewers unmoored, the result of its consistently off-kilter tone.
Washington PostDecember 18, 2015The King of Comedy fancies itself a scathing social satire about the lust for celebrity carried to extremes. But ultimately, director Martin Scorsese's movie is a severely misconceived and distasteful study of delusional behavior.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 25, 2010It is frustrating to watch, unpleasant to remember, and, in its own way, quite effective.
Chicago ReaderMarch 31, 2008The uncenteredness of the film is irritating, though it's irritating in an ambitious, risk-taking way.
VarietyMarch 31, 2008To be sure, Robert De Niro turns in another virtuoso performance for Martin Scorsese, just as in their four previous efforts. But once again -- and even more so -- they come up with a character that it's hard to spend time with.
FlavorwireJune 24, 2016The tone it establishes is challenging, because there are funny scenes and situations which could easily be played for laughs, but that black cloud of tension and danger hangs over all of them, and Scorsese won't give you that release.
Reel Film ReviewsOctober 19, 2014...remains a high-water mark in terms of De Niro's onscreen work...
Daily Telegraph (UK)April 18, 2014A disturbing picture of a world in which television is taken for a "reality" higher than everyday life, it's also darkly funny.
Movie MetropolisApril 09, 2014I'm going to side with the dissenters this time. I can see where it might be perceived as a dark comedy, but that label doesn't absolve it from an overarching sense that Scorsese didn't push this one far enough.
