Critic Reviews of "The Last Emperor"
New York Daily NewsFebruary 17, 2015As pure spectacle, "The Last Emperor" is a spellbinding peek behind the gate of a lost world.
Chicago TribuneJanuary 07, 2014It is a hesitant, conservative approach that yields great elegance and a rhythm that carries the viewer along. Yet the film is haunted by a sense of opportunities not taken, of an artist deliberately reining in his artistry.
Philadelphia InquirerJanuary 07, 2014If there is such a thing as voluptuous detachment, Bertolucci and John Lone have found it. Lone's achievement in his absorbing account of Pu Yi is to place him at a distance and yet make his plight totally involving.
Orlando SentinelJanuary 07, 2014There's probably a truly great movie in the story of Pu Yi, but The Last Emperor is not that movie. Still, what director Bernardo Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris) has accomplished here is both ambitious and impressive.
Entertainment WeeklySeptember 07, 2011The expanse of time is saturated with an expanse of visual beauty that feels absolutely right for the story.
United Press InternationalAugust 23, 2016It is the grandeur of the boy king and his unreal opulent world that is best remembered, splendid and isolated, and at last, because of its loneliness, sad.
Boston PhoenixFebruary 21, 2015One of the most provocative and stunningly beautiful films of the past 20 years.
Christian Science MonitorJanuary 07, 2014The story is colorful and sometimes unpredictable, so it's rarely boring. But it's rarely much deeper than the emperor's favorite rice bowl.
Philadelphia Daily NewsJanuary 07, 2014Even though its ambitions sometimes get the better of it, the film succeeds often enough to make us grateful that, even in our MTV age, a director like Bertolucci is still willing to get on the mat and grapple with Personality and History.
People MagazineJanuary 07, 2014At last a real, thought-provoking, eyeball-popping movie epic.
