Leave your thoughts about Pandora's Box.
| New York TimesA.O. ScottNeither an exposé of social conditions nor a psychological case study and certainly not a moral parable G. W. Pabst's Pandora's Box is a tour de force of cinematic eroticism. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis synopsis could apply equally to a great or a laughable film. Brooks makes it a great one. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIt's a stunning film, no question, with sexuality that is quite frank for its day, effective atmosphere and, of course, Brooks' stunning performance. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe movie remains one of the most insightful depictions of the elemental incongruity between man's nature and woman's. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIf you've never seen Brooks -- or Pandora's Box -- you've missed one of the most extraordinary personalities and films of the silent movie era. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneGive all due credit to Pabst, but Brooks pretty much single-handedly raises Pandora's Box above being just another doomed-bad-girl melodrama.... She makes Lulu unfathomable, a well that always has more to give. Therefore, so is the film. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil Villarreal"Pandora's Box" is a German silent film that Paris Hilton could relate to. She wouldn't like the way it ends, though. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyThere is something hypnotically unbridled about Brooks's performance. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherIt's lightning in a bottle - remarkable, and endlessly fascinating. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossWith Pandora's Box you forget that it's black and white. You forget that the internet has yet to happen... You forget that more than two hours have gone by. You forget because it's completely modern... 100 per cent gripping and involving. |
