"the script feels like it's written by a graduate student doing a research paper on Mein Kampf"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"By boldly confronting the psycho-sexual depravity of the Nazi mindset, all the way through to is inevitable incestuous nature, Visconti creates a specific cinematic vernacular for viewing and discussing Hitler's manic ideology."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

71/100
"The Damned is a lot of things – bilious and perverse are the two first adjectives that spring to mind – but one thing it is not is a film of half-measures."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

68/100
"Occassionally overflows with self-indulgence and didacticism, weakening an otherwise and often potent critique"  Cinemania  Dan Jardine

3/4

"Visual remarkable, endlessly inventive critque of Hitler's Germany."  Classic Film and Television  Michael E. Grost
