Leave your thoughts about Quills.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA potent, arch, humorous and downright fascinating glimpse into a society both terrified and titillated by literary descriptions of raging sexuality. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenWhat begins promisingly ... quickly turns from wicked to insipid, taking a thematic plunge into insanity from which there is no recovery. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressAll the major performances in Quills are Oscar-worthy. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonKaufman's startling Quills gives us an anatomy of fear, images both silken swift and molten hot, scenes that disrupt and inflame the imagination. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceThis over-the-top, historically based dark comedy is little more than sloganeering (from the Hollywood entertainment industry) masquerading as art. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickA decent period piece livened up by two hours of pretty disturbing material. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterIt argues its case fairly, acknowledging the implicit dangers in its position, and dramatizing the price that inevitably will be paid for its cherished goal of untrammeled personal expression. |
| Filmcritic.comJeremiah KippThere's so much gusto thrown into the performances and attention to period detail that Quills plays out as enjoyably lavish. |
| Reel.comRod ArmstrongBy portraying in a splendidly visual manner the human need to tell stories and to have stories told, Quills should be considered a success. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordA movie about words and ideas that will make you think. |
