Critics Consensus

Klimt is handsomely filmed, but the blurred storyline and substandard performances prove its undoing.

John Malkovich has virtually cornered the market on portraying aesthetes in the thrall of demonic visions. Klimt adds to his gallery of elegant monsters.

Rated: 3.5/5

TV Guide

Raoul Ruiz's absurdly overwrought phantasmagoria tries to recast the notorious Viennese artist's life as a kind of Divine Comedy: Inferno.

Rated: 2/4

Film Journal International

The film, however provocative and full of eye candy, is really for hardcore art-house fans only.

Too much arty farty directing and not enough actual plot.

A modern Fellini-like movie in it's artistic weirdness at points. I was annoyed at the soundtrack interfering with the dialogue, not sure if it was my TV, the DVD or the actual movie itself. Klimt's works are fascinating, & the movie does make a cogent interpretation of the complex genius behind the art.

Brakuje mi sÅÃ³w. ChciaÅbym napisaÄ sonet, ktÃ³ry wyraziÅby jakÄ kupÄ jest ten film. Malkovich, na wÅasny koszt i wÅasnorÄcznie powinien zniszczyÄ wszystkie kopie. Stawiam piwo tym, ktÃ³rzy dadzÄ radÄ dooglÄdaÄ.

Malkovich is especially great when he plays these arrogant and womanizing artist types, isn't he? The answer is undeniably yes.
