User Review - 10/10 by Uilleam MLoved it. Wonderful statement on the dangers of conformity.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael Jincredible and thought provoking rendition of a great play.
User Review - 10/10 by Pilastr ATimely in jingoist times with timeless performances by the best of the best. What a time!
User Review - 10/10 by Lauren Hthis movie just gets better every time i watch it. the script is so bizarre and wonderful. gene wilder and zero mostel are amazing (as usual). it's sad that no one has ever heard of this movie. "i'm a human being, that's all. a human being. and that's what i'll be, till the end. I'LL NEVER GIVE IN!"
User Review - 10/10 by Brittany LA comic masterpiece. Weird and wonderfully absurd, and featuring some of the best work from comedy legends Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, as well as a top-notch supporting cast and a great score by Galt MacDermot. Director Tim O'Horgan does an excellent job keeping the stage-bound material lively and cinematic. People really need to seek this one out, it deserves to be better known.
User Review - 10/10 by Tio BBrilliant adaptation of Ionesco's absurdist play. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are perfectly cast.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VA very 70s theatre feel to this picture, it's somewhat experimental and thought provoking, but kinda weird at the same time. It has a lot of funny moments too, I liked it, it's different.
User Review - 8/10 by Jonathan SI never saw the play, but what a bizarre little movie. I mean this in the best possible sense of the word. This film is very odd. The writing is withholding, the direction is incomprehensible, and the cinematography is beyond confining...but that's what made me love it so. If you are looking for a Mel Brook's style follow up to the Producers...look elsewhere. This work is one of a kind, so check all of your expectations at the door and be sure to keep an open mind to "the weird" because in this case it is absolutely wonderful. Although Rhinoceros left me somewhat frustrated and scratching my head in confusion, overall I can't deny just how funny this film really is. Seriously people, this forgotten gem is truly hilarious.
User Review - 8/10 by Lou XVery interesting movie, good themes, but it was probably a lot better as a play. Gene Wilder was great as always.
User Review - 6/10 by Riley HI had no idea there was a movie based on this absurd play, but low and behold--here it is. As much as I like Gene Wilder, he kind of sleepwalks through the film. In fact--he plays his part like he's a sedated Pee Wee Herman. In contrast, everyone around him is great. Particularly stunning is a young Karen Black. She always does psycho well and she's no exception in this film. Zero Mostel doesn't lag far behind either. If you're familiar with the play--you'll get a kick out of the film. If you're not familiar with the play--you're in for a wild ride!
