Reviews
|
Empire -
The odd conclusion renders it somewhat oblique, but Perfume is a feast for the senses.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
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.
|
|
Variety -
The seductive, sensory prose of Patrick Suskind's bestseller, "Perfume," reaches the screen with loads of visual panache but only intermittent magic.
|
|
Salon -
A memorable and outrageous movie, but one more likely to be remembered as a massive folly than a whopping success.
|
|
ReelViews -
Deeply flawed though it may be, Perfume is a challenging motion picture, and one whose impressions are not easily shaken.
