Leave your thoughts about Valmont.
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordNice try, but Glenn, John and Michelle did it much better |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe film is rapturously beautiful, enticing us into a lush, aristocratic world. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Frears version is cerebral and claustrophobic, an exercise in sexual mindplay. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyMaking no secret of the fact that he has "freely adapted" the novel, writer Jean-Claude Carriere and Milos "Amadeus" Forman have come up with a visually mouthwatering epic treatment: beautiful, opulent, sumptuous. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonWhile Frears's is truer to the calculating spirit of the book and has the showier cast, Forman's has greater human interest and the more heartfelt performances. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonColin Firth's Valmont is pleasant, a dreadful thing to say about one of literature's most magnetic seducers. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWhat keeps the film interesting, if not riveting, is the generally on target casting and resulting topnotch interpretations. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksValmont has many of the same inherent problems that plagued Dangerous Liaisons, but if you haven't seen that film you may find some enjoyment here. And if you have, you may enjoy making comparisons. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyBecause there are no characters animating his panorama, all this serves to prove is that though Forman's movie is broader than Frears', it is also shallower. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittLivelier, more absorbing, and generally better acted than "Dangerous Liaisons," which arrived a year ago. But it runs out of inspiration long before it runs out of plot twists, and we've seen the twists too many times before. |
