Critics' reviews

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

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"A good bio of any historical character has to have a compelling story, whether evil or good. Klimt appears to have had that story. I sure would have liked to know what it was."

San Francisco Chronicle
"Klimt comes across as a lovely but unfathomable object"

Geoff Pevere: Toronto Star
"Ruiz is so intent on harnessing the painter to his own -- here, rather arid -- relativism that he never manages to convey the unfettered eros that brings crowds flocking to exhibitions of Klimt's work"

Ella Taylor: LA Weekly
"Ruiz is terrific in evoking a heady atmosphere of ornate fin de siecle decadence, and Malkovich is ideally cast as a coolly intellectual, free-thinking, free-living aesthete"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"An easy-viewing intro to a racy episode in art history."

Bill Stamets: Chicago Sun-Times
"Whatever its flaws may be (and, frankly, they are legion), Raoul Ruiz's latest film is a biopic that mixes and matches visual and narrative styles boldly, wildly, madly enough to invigorate the genre"
