A+
"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."  eCinemaCenter.com  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"  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Shane Burridge
