Brandon Judell Bay Area Reporter The subject of a city ravished by a contagious disease couldn't be more relevant. But the project is steeped in pretension and inept direction. You'll want to get vaccinated by the time it ends. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Bleak, dull and slow-moving adaptation of Albert Camus' 1947 novel. Rated: C Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Awesome - historically accurate and great viewing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Frances H Any film based on a work by Camus will be interesting, and this one has the bonus of some fine actors. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/01/15 Full Review Audience Member Was a good movie overall, but lacked a little something that caused me to lose interest from time to time. But towards the end things got a bit better and it was worth watching. I just wouldn't buy it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an intresting film I enjoyed it you have to watch it quite carefully to understand because its so much detail in the film the directing wasnt fabolous but I thought the acting in it was just great overall I would say its a good film its bast on a true story saw if you want to learn a bit of History this is the film to watch its not a film to watch for a bit of a laugh on a weekend but it does have a story line to it and its quite good its not the best film I have watched but it is a good storyline to it and I wouldnt say it was a bad film but I got to say it had a very good story line to it and the acting was quite pleaseing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Duvall and Hurt. Nice combination, and well, a fairly good movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
