(1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 54% Rotten Page   1   4/5 "Una tremenda experiencia sensorial, una cinta que dejará maravillados a los fans del libro, y a quienes, virginalmente, se enfrenten por vez primera a los toques aromáticos de esta mágica historia."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "Flat out the most exciting cinematic adaptation of a novel since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij A- "Tykwer is an incredible visualist and Perfume reaches such operatic, hand-painted heights of life and death, sections of the film look as though they were pulled from the walls of an art gallery."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "Smells of something a few steps down from Aqua Velva."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "Grenouille's obsession is, in the end, much like that of the less ornately literary killers who precede him, producing desperately conventional spectacles of dead girls."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Difficult to resist even when its allure is only surface-deep."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Tom Tykwer's Perfume stinks."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 3/5 "Una estupenda reconstrucción histórica y un atractivo tratamiento visual son los principales valores de esta interesante aunque irregular adaptación."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "Ghastly and horrific, entertaining and mesmerizing, and it smells fantastic."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "You could be stuffing quantities of chocolate, oysters and arugula while watching the playmate of the month down carrots and bananas and you're still unlikely to be fooled by the supposed power of this Perfume."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B "Though it may come across more than a little precious and pretentious, its memory will linger in your mind long after those of other films have faded."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Perfume is a challenging motion picture, and one whose impressions are not easily shaken."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk "The script, such as it is, takes the form of a kinky fairy tale set in a violent, brutish world; imagine the Brothers Grimm rewritten by Charles Dickens as a letter to Penthouse Forum."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox "I am going to venture a guess that this is not a movie that will have a broad appeal to women."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards A "In adapting the 1985 Patrick Süskind novel, Tykwer has achieved one of those rarities - a film that reads better on screen than on the page."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "The film, though admirably ambitious, is resolutely earthbound, mired in ick and slime and never more wooden than in the delirious climax."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "The movie version feels forced, even though it doesn't seem to know what it means."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2.5/4 "We want to root for him, but he is more of a villain. The dichotomy is savory."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B+ "[Its] off-the-charts screwiness obscures virtually all shortcomings."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 5/5 "Stanley Kubrick e Martin Scorsese chegaram a declarar que [Perfume], livro do alemão Patrick Süskind, seria "infilmável". Pois até os gênios erram."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "This tale of a brilliant sociopath is disturbing and often uncomfortable to watch. And it's also magical filmmaking."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "A bleakly comic fable, drenched in obsession and the vicious observation of human limitations."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 6/10 "Bizarre, macabre fantasy that's intoxicating but repellent."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 24) of 24 OFCS Rating: 54% Rotten Page   1
