3/5
"A true oddity for Buñuel."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

5/5
"Exiled Spanish surrealist master Luis Buñuel created a micro-budgeted but remarkably effective adaptation of Daniel DeFoe’s 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

A
"The film in its simple telling, without sentimentality, evokes a feeling of awe."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3.5/4
"Buñuel posits a more existential relationship between Crusoe, nature and, most significantly, the character's loneliness."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B-
"far more provocative than the more literal adaptation's of Defoe's classic"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

"A relatively straightforward adaptation of the Defoe classic, Bunuel's Robinson Crusoe still has a few glimpses of the surreal obsessions that Bunuel no doubt enjoyed throwing out there -- particularly in a "work-for-hire" job like this one."  DVDTalk.com  Paul Mavis

4/5
"A fine film with a strong central performance, although it is hardly representative of the director's trademark style."  Film Threat  Phil Hall
