Entertainment Weekly
The social satire gets precious at times, but Connery (sans hairpiece!) and Hepburn (swathed for the first hour in a nun’s wimple) bring a fervid depth of feeling to their characters’ rekindled courtship. - 83
The A.V. Club
Robin And Marian would merely be an exercise in theory if the actors didn't make it breathe. Their scenes together a combination of easy humor and wistful grace notes, Connery and Hepburn find an easy rapport, playing something between legendary lovers and an old married couple. - 80
Chicago Reader
Deep down inside, a very good film. - 80
Time Out
It's one of those rare movies, like King Hu's Touch of Zen, that handles its historical imagery so cleanly, and contains its pretensions so solidly within sure characterisation and plotting, that it is often sublimely expressive. - 78
Austin Chronicle
If nothing else, the performances of Connery and Hepburn are welcome delights. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
This is a movie about the end of youth and high romance, about death and the possibility of simple human compassion. - 70
The New York Times
Robin and Marian is a hybrid movie, one that seems embarrassed by feelings; yet it works best when it admits those feelings, when it plays them straight. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
Taken as a whole, Robin and Marian is a spotty picture that's sometimes satirical, a trifle pretentious, occasionally exciting.
