Reviews

Empire -
The gorgeous backdrop of the film makes the violence and darkness even more disturbing - but this is more than just a horror film. There's real substance in themes, performances and John Boorman's superb direction.

|
Slant Magazine -
Dickey taps into that stark mortal terror of abandoning control, where to become a wild man is somehow a form of connection.
|
|
The Guardian -
For all the furious excitement of its river-rafting sequences, and the harshness and humiliation of its explosive central rape scene, Deliverance is an elegiac movie, mourning the rural mountain culture soon to be inundated by a new hydro-electric dam.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Deliverance is a film about finding the place where ideas mean less than instinct.
|
|
Time -
Each of the four lead performances is exceptional, none more so than Burt Reynolds' beefy, supercilious Lewis.
