Leave your thoughts about Gloomy Sunday.
| Princeton Town TopicsKam WilliamsUndoubtedly deserves to be added to the ranks of the best Holocaust films ever made. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitAn old-fashioned love-in-time-of-war melodrama such as one seldom sees anymore and which the film makes us lament. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyWith the Hungarian song "Gloomy Sunday" as its thematic centerpiece, this personalized story of Budapest during World War II becomes a satisfying romantic drama about four divergently different people. |
| FilmStew.comLarry CarrollA borderline classic, this is a movie that harkens back to such films as Casablanca, but still confidently asserts its own unique voice. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIt's a piquant story but unfortunately the movie creaks with European-style artifice. It tells its story in a rather cinematically stilted style, and some of the dramatic moments come perilously close to unintentional parody. |
| Arizona RepublicRichard NilsenIt's intelligent, well-acted and beautifully photographed. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMary-Liz ShawIt's a cracking good yarn, well-told and impeccably acted, especially by Król. |
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonIt has enough opulent, oversized romanticism to make it a guilty pleasure, not to mention three attractive and appealing characters and, of course, that song. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis strange movie has a hard time balancing all these elements, but the film's enormous passion overcomes its more obvious melodrama. |
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufIt's possible that Gloomy Sunday is more "significant" than it is compelling. |
