Julian S The mix of intense violence and frivolous comedy creates a well-balanced film, enhanced by a succinct script and sharp editing. Bonnie and Clyde, as characters, are often likable, even when they don’t come across as likable people. I wonder if it’s the romantic notion of running away with your infatuation that resonates so deeply, or the idea of throwing caution to the wind because you’ve got nothing to lose. Perhaps it’s both.

This is my favorite movie of all time! It had an impact on me at that young age. I hope you’ll enjoy watching it as much as I did. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Alec C The couple makes crime seem like a real romance! Bonnie Parker meets the rebellious Clyde Barrow and soon the two form a gang of outlaws that rob banks during the Great Depression, unfortunately with the law still hot on their tale. A love story mixed in with true crime makes this an unforgettable story about the two lovers who made up the most legendary thieving duo on the silver screen! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Jeff M A friend and I were discussing recently what it is about certain movies that make them feel "timeless" - i.e. relevant and sustainable whether you watch them on opening weekend or 50 years later. I don't think there's a particular answer to that - certain films just have "it". This is one of those films that have "it" - I'm watching this masterful motion picture for the first time over 50 years after its release and I'm as interested, thrilled and moved as if it was released yesterday. This has been hailed as one of the most important landmark films of recent cinema history, and it is an amazing piece of work. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to watch it because I think it will join my list of imminently rewatchable movies. Watching Beatty and Dunaway here you realize immediately you're witnessing performances that are as legendary as the characters they're portraying. Interestingly enough, Estelle Parsons is the only member of the cast who won an Oscar, and hers is probably the most divisive performance in the film, as it could be interpreted as shrill and over the top. More than almost any other movie I've seen, this motion picture realizes the fact that there are no perfectly heroic heroes and no perfectly villainous villains - we're all somewhere in the middle. We all know where the story is heading, but that doesn't lessen the impact of the final moment between Bonnie and Clyde, which is absolutely devastating and filmed perfectly. I get goosebumps thinking about it as I write this. Every few years, I review my list of all-time favorite movies. This movie may very well force me to make some revisions. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Rich S Despite the color film, the movie really has the feel of the wind-blown dust-bowl days of Depression-era America. Arthur Penn does an excellent job telling the story about a few people who had a gang that killed people. The deaths of the main characters are even romanticized and that is often looked at as a flaw of the movie. But if you go back and read old newspaper clippings from that era, the movie did a great job of matching the mood of the general public during the days of Bonnie & Clyde. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. The music is really good but a little weird also being a banjo for most of it and can feel more comedic than action or drama oriented. The rest is pretty near flawless save for Blanche who is annoying. Faye Dunway is amazing and the best thing in this with the beauty of a Femme Fatale. This moves at a fast pace and never lets up with its franticness. While the gang isn't ncessarily likeable, there utterly fasinating in how they became folk heroes and glorified during a terrible time and is as much a bio pic as a case study into how someone can fall into a lifestyle like this. What also is unique is the amount of dark humor that is all over in this that quite funny. The shootouts are intense and frantic and super memorable. Everyone should give this a try once.
