The New York Times -
A big, brave, stouthearted, sometimes romantic, sometimes silly melodrama with the kind of visual sweep you don't often find in movies anymore.
|
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Papillon was produced with consummate technical skill and offers brilliant acting by McQueen and Hoffman.
|
|
|
Village Voice -
Shaffner has really made an exhilarating movie out of the most dangerously depressing material. [10 Jan 1974, p.56]
|
|
|
Empire -
One of the greatest behind-bars movies ever, the result finds director Franklin J. Schaffner making the most of both his sun-drenched locations and his leading man, who squintily acts even co-star Dustin Hoffman well off the screen.

|
Time -
Audiences whose expectations do not exceed their grasp will find it a much more comfortable vehicle for escape than any that McQueen & Co. discover on location.
