"Stylistically, "Tetro" has its strengths, but it fails to connect with an emotional core before its overwrought third act comes crashing down."

"Mostly dull stuff but has its moments when it sparkles, as it muses over the Oedipal Complex like a madman throwing his clothes out the window."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
B
"Coppola has made something personal and intimate that, while not brilliant, sticks to the grand, operatic themes that made him famous."

"Tetro moves and startles"
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
D
"Old-fashioned melodramatic claptrap, served up in ridiculously overblown style...another deeply embarrassing misfire from a man once considered a major American filmmaker."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
55/100
"For viewers who are willing to accept the sheer adolescence of Coppola's thematic obsessions and stylistic approach,
Tetro
shows plenty of questionably placed inspiration."

Jeremy Heilman
4/6
"Much like Tetro and Bennie in the film’s final scene, Coppola has been swallowed whole by darkness and yet attained a necessary clarity that may otherwise have evaded him. It could be said, strangely enough, that the abyss was never so enlightening."
Time Out New York
Keith Uhlich
4.5/5
"The Coppola who was master of the 1970s ... is back, and that should make every cinephile weep with joy"
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"The director's triumphant return to form."
Cinematical
Nick Schager
"Even the most deftly executed scenes are smothered in the Oedipal weight of past betrayals while they struggle to support the operatic melodrama that unfolds."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
7/10
"Maddening and fascinating in a way that only a true artist could possibly manage, and piddling questions like whether or not the film "works" are completely beside the point."
