Top CriticThis is old-fashioned, tasteful European filmmaking.

Top CriticA surprisingly effective updating of Victor Hugo's novel.
01/15/08
Top CriticThe family reads the Hugo novel aloud to him while they travel together, and apparently they all come to realize how much their lives are like great literature.

Top CriticIt's part of the magic Lelouch has worked that his story-of-all-stories theme matches the catch-all inclusiveness of his old-fashioned celluloid showmanship.

Arresting images, the timeless battle of good and evil and triumph over insurmountable odds combine to lend a worldly veneer to this three-hour epic. In terms of human destiny, it speaks volumes.
05/14/03
A stunning achievement.

The acting in the film is top notch.
01/28/03
Epic French screen adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic 1862 novel.
08/29/02
Aspectacular-looking film with those great settings and costumes that are a hallmark of French period films.

Top CriticImperfect, but beguiling.
01/01/00
Top CriticLelouch overworks this narrative scheme terribly: By reiterating his point and leaving nothing to our imagination, his cross-referencing shtick turns dull and belabored.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhether Hugo's, Lelouch's, or both, you will rarely find a more powerful, cathartic, and ultimately satisfying narrative to immerse yourself in.

If it were shorter, we wouldn't know what misery really feels like.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe film is a wealth of incident: boxing matches, prison escapes, overland chases, a train robbery, high society, low crimes.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhat is most remarkable about the picture is Belmondo's work in three roles.
