Perfection? Arguably not; Verdoux has clunky moments and some flat casting, but with an able assist from the great comedian Martha Raye, Chaplin's latter-day greatness is readily apparent. July 11, 2008 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

In its uncanny depiction of a weakling whose crimes pale against those of the war-mad society around him, it's a near masterpiece. June 9, 2008 | Full Review…

Henri Verdoux showcased Chaplin's crisp, flamboyant diction by playing against type. Never before had he played a deceitfully murderous man, slyly articulate and devilishly selfish in his conquest for corpses. November 16, 2020 | Full Review…

It's quite a conundrum: a Chaplin comedy-drama that only resembles one after halfway into the plot. August 13, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Its merit, to be crisp about it, is uneven. It has intervals that are highly entertaining. These occur when Chaplin reverts to type, the talented entertainer. It has other passages when it is nothing more than a pious, profound bore. June 8, 2020 | Full Review…
