Critics' reviews

"The movie is intriguing because of its moral complexity. After it’s over, you find yourself asking hard questions about who did right and who did wrong (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Dark Eyes' is consistently exhilarating. In the steadfast resolve of a fellow who's an utter failure, it dramatizes a truly Chekhovian concept of comedy."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"Mastroianni apart, the film is a glossy, unprepossessing example of the mainstream art movie."

Time Out
"It’s a story told in an exquisite framework, a reminiscence between two men in the deserted dining room of a luxury Italian cruise ship at the turn of the century"

Sheila Benson: Los Angeles Times
