4/5
"...the slow-burn of LaSalle's performance may be simplicity itself but it's hard to shake afterward."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

A+
"Brilliant..."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

4/4
"Every image in Pickpocket evokes the director's idea of the soul in transition."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

"Hypnotic drama about a Parisian pickpocket"  Classic Film and Television  Michael E. Grost

4.5/5
"I believe Bresson would approve of Criterion's efforts, as all possible interpretations of "Pickpocket" are spread throughout the very special features of this disc."  Film Threat  Rory L. Aronsky

B+
"Bresson examines actions but offers little attention to motives, an approach that here seems to suggest that Michel's choices may be a mystery even to himself."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

4/4
"Bresson's films are the most sublime expression of the powerful, illicit sexuality of the movement of moving pictures against a subjective audience."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
