Critic Reviews of "The Merchant of Venice"
VarietyJuly 04, 2008Pacino is at least dynamic, something harder to say about the women in the cast.
Time OutJune 24, 2006This is Al Pacino's show, and thankfully his Shylock is absorbing enough to carry the day.
AV ClubSeptember 26, 2005It tilts so far in one direction that the comic elements seem to come from another, lesser film.
Arizona RepublicMarch 10, 2005Radford has rendered off the comedy to find the dramatic skeleton underneath. It is an approach that works stunningly well and is perhaps the only way the play can now be done.
Orlando SentinelFebruary 25, 2005A vivid, engrossing and defensible Shakespeare adaptation, a period piece that truly has a feel for a time long past -- and a place and attitude that are not.
Detroit NewsFebruary 18, 2005Pacino's stentorian delivery and punctuating hands are almost parodistic, as likely to draw a chuckle as to elicit empathy.
At the Movies (Australia)July 10, 2009The text is wonderful, Radford's film has some fine performances from Jeremy Irons and Joseph Fiennes, and he makes good use of Venice locations.
Bangitout.comJuly 02, 2009It is really a pleasure to watch a masterful actor like Al Pacino wring every nuance out of the multifarious character of Shylock.
FILMINK (Australia)June 12, 2009We see what an actor's actor Pacino can be: he's careful and watchful; respectful of other actors' timing; and says his lines perfectly, resisting all temptation to grandstand.
Urban CinefileJune 05, 2009A richly cinematic and robust rendition of Shakespeare's pre-political correctness play about the place of Jews in anti-Semitic 16th century Venice, Michael Radford's film takes delight in dramatics thus pulling us into the story.
