Austin Chronicle
So definitive in so many ways, Bonnie and Clyde has become a 20th-century touchstone. - 100
Chicago Sun-Times
Bonnie and Clyde is a milestone in the history of American movies, a work of truth and brilliance. It is also pitilessly cruel, filled with sympathy, nauseating, funny, heartbreaking, and astonishingly beautiful. - 100
ReelViews
There is something special about the production, with its brash, vivid style, indelible performances by movie icons, and bold mixture of violence and comedy, romance and tragedy. - 100
Empire
For better or worse, American cinema changed forever the day Bonnie And Clyde was released. Almost every aspect of it was revolutionary. - 90
Chicago Reader
It's by far the least controlled of Penn's films, but the pieces work wonderfully well, propelled by what was then a very original acting style. - 90
TV Guide Magazine
Landmark gangster film that made a huge commercial and cultural splash. - 63
Slant Magazine
Though Bonnie And Clyde may have been conceived as a proto-European hybrid and The Graduate a California thoroughbred, the violent hemorrhage that closes the Depression-era/Vietnam-era touchstone makes as good a case as anything in filmed entertainment that American mass media operates in the declarative. - 60
Variety
This inconsistency of direction is the most obvious fault of Bonnie and Clyde, which has some good ingredients, although they are not meshed together well.
