Reviews


80
Empire - Dan Jolin
The odd conclusion renders it somewhat oblique, but Perfume is a feast for the senses.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Long regarded as unfilmable, Patrick Suskind's 1985 novel "Perfume" has finally reached the screen in a blockbuster production that succeeds reasonably well in achieving what many said was beyond the scope of cinema: conveying the world of scent and smell.
70
Variety - Derek Elley
The seductive, sensory prose of Patrick Suskind's bestseller, "Perfume," reaches the screen with loads of visual panache but only intermittent magic.
70
Salon - Andrew O'Hehir
A memorable and outrageous movie, but one more likely to be remembered as a massive folly than a whopping success.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Deeply flawed though it may be, Perfume is a challenging motion picture, and one whose impressions are not easily shaken.
