Amadeus is simply one of the finest biographical dramas ever made.February 04, 2014
A rowdy, funny, suspenseful, and sometimes very moving visit with two fascinating personalities: one an uncouth prodigy, the other an earnest second-rater who never quite understands why somebody else should get all the glory.March 03, 2015
The look of the film is absolutely gorgeous.February 19, 2013
A grand movie entertainment.March 03, 2015
What Amadeus presents us with is an unexpected and strangely moving spectacle: a Roadrunner cartoon in which Wily Coyote... ends at last by stopping his fleet-footed foe dead in his tracks.February 19, 2008
On a production level and as an evocation of a time and place, Amadeus is loaded with pleasures.February 04, 2014
The performance of Abraham, who won the Best Actor Oscar for it, is monumental, and so is Forman's direction.February 04, 2014
Except for the Mozart music and Tharp movements around the edges, Amadeus plays like a monument to mediocrity.February 04, 2014
Forman's tormented, iconoclastic subjects are often pitted against iconic or impersonal antagonists, but Amadeus' conflict remains rivetingly intimate, in spite of its sumptuous, larger-than-life settings.March 12, 2015
One of the best American films of the 1980s.March 03, 2015
Sheer craftsmanship is the film's key strength.
