Critic Reviews for Rosebud

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2)

Doubtless, like most Preminger, it'll improve with age.

Time Out
Top Critic
A suspense melodrama of such ineptitude, lethargy and loose ends that only someone with his arm being twisted would take credit for it.

The troubles in the Middle East have never been so yawnable.

TV Guide
Muddled, overlong and a not very suspenseful political thriller.

Dennis Schwartz
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
While the plot meanders at times, and the film's politics are confused, the reliable performances and Preminger's steady pacing make for a generally involving movie.
