Leave your thoughts about Bobby Deerfield.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of Sydney Pollack's worst films, this sechmaltzy romantic drama about the life and loves of a car racer (poorly played by Al Pacino) has no redeeming qualities in either length; Pollack recut the film to 99 minutes for TV. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA big, slick melodrama that knows exactly what it wants to accomplish and does so with great craft. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinDon't be fooled by the action-packed DVD cover: Pacino spends roughly five minutes of Deerfield racing, and two hours learning, from a woman facing death, how to embrace life. |
| Slant MagazineDan CallahanBobby Deerfield is not so much a failed vanity project as it is a groping, often sensitive and rather death-obsessed character study based on Erich Maria Remarque’s fatalistically titled novel Heaven Has No Favorites. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA brilliantly unusual love story, told in a European fashion which makes the Sydney Pollack film at first irritating, then intriguing, finally most rewarding and emotionally satisfying. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenBig, expensive, ultimately ridiculous movie that appears to have been constructed to be a Love Story on wheels. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThose who feel that Al Pacino did no wrong during the 1970s obviously never saw Bobby Deerfield. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyBobby Deerfield may turn out to be the year's most cynical movie made by people who know better, including Sydney Pollack, the director, and Alvin Sargent, who wrote the screenplay. |
