Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Walter GoodmanYoung Mr. Tartovsky has side-stepped all the visual detours and pitfalls of the standard experimental vignette.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn accessible minor work that reacts strongly against bullying children.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Jocelyn Szczepaniak-GillecePerhaps the most wonderful aspect of The Steamroller and the Violin is the exciting feeling of a genius on the brink of realizing his full potential.
MovieMartyr.com - 6/10 by Jeremy HeilmanI suppose in many ways it is Tarkovsky's most accessible film - it's emotionally accessible and the plot is bluntly straightforward - but it's also his least rewarding work.
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uwhat has to do a steamroller with a violin? watch the movie, it is poetic:)
User Review - 10/10 by Kenneth KVery interesting to see, how the present day communist rule forced the young tarkovsky to focus on, what was possible to say. And still say something relevant. Here: That the boy (master) had no real inclinations to change place with the steamroller driver (the servant), once he realised the power he could wield with his violin.
