"It's much like a silent movie, following in the giant footsteps of Chaplin and Keaton."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
4/4
"Tati mimics American idealism with the tour bus women’s ‘golly-gee, wow!’ attitude, and isn’t any easier on the French’s to-do, prim-and-proper persona."

Gabe Leibowitz
4/4
"simple, yet profound, observations of human life in the increasingly alienating modern world"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/5
"[
Playtime
] is so richly conceived and choreographed that its lack of a plot is compensated by a wealth of memorable incidents, sight gags, gestures and satiric notions."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
"
Playtime
is an adamant vision whose failure is integral to its philosophy. It is a befitting fate that Tati’s art was not endorsed by popularity."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
"One of those rare films that has earned a following through its architecture"
