Leave your thoughts about The Parallax View.
| BBC.comDavid WoodA political conspiracy thriller par excellence and a candidate perhaps for Beatty's finest screen moment. |
| Village VoiceEd ParkIt's an astringently cynical take on official history, with Warren Beatty as a muckraker investigating the strange aftershocks of a senator's killing. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonOne of the great American films from arguably the finest decade in American filmmaking. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CrocePakula and Gordon Willis' cinematography wring the ominous from the ordinary with utter severity |
| Time OutEmily Todd VanDerWerffThe plot doesn’t always make sense, but it doesn’t need to, so thoroughly does it convey a sense that everybody is in on something, and there is no escape. |

| Turner Classic Movies OnlineSean Axmaker... arguably the definitive conspiracy thriller of the seventies. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie's director, Alan J. Pakula, works on location to get a nice feel of outdoor menace a lot of the time. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Judith CristThe Parallax View will no doubt remind some reviewers of Executive Action, another movie released at about the same time that advanced a conspiracy theory of assassination. It's a better use of similar material, however, because it tries to entertain instead of staying behind to argue. |
| The DissolveKeith PhippsPart of what makes The Parallax View so unnerving is that it also offers no explanation. |
