Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's a movie from the past that still points ahead to the future: a cinematic rite of passage that raptly recalls a time when the world may have been as uncertain as now, but the movies were often lovelier and more daring. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: The Passenger has lost none of its power in 30 years. Read more
Don Druker, Chicago Reader: Next to this film, Blowup seems a facile, though necessary, preliminary. By all means go [see it]. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: A movie with which one can grow old, in the same sense that one can see great productions of Hamlet at 15 and 40 and 70 years of age, measuring the relative depth of one's experience of life and the world against its mature vision. Read more
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger is more than the re-release of a great film -- it's a rare chance to see a major cinematic work, perhaps more than once, on the big screen. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: One of the deepest, most rigorous, and most rewarding films of its era. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: What in different hands would have been a bombastic psychological thriller becomes a stark study of existential alienation. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: The film's final seven-minute shot is one of the great denouements in film history. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The Passenger isn't finally the masterpiece some have made it out to be, but it retains a singular intrigue: It's the first, and probably the last, thriller ever made about depression. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: A creator of lonely worlds, Mr. Antonioni painted one of his most vivid portraits of isolation with The Passenger. Read more
Penelope Gilliatt, New Yorker: Earlier Antonioni films have often seemed studied, but not this one. Its details are easy and apropos. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The Passenger can make one nostalgic -- mostly, for a time when foreign films mattered. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I admire the movie more 30 years later. I am more in sympathy with it. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: In The Passenger, Jack Nicholson gives one of his finest performances as television journalist David Locke. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The Passenger is a marvel of quiet insight in many ways, not least of which is the chance to view Jack Nicholson before he became JACK NICHOLSON. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Leisurely and old-fashioned as The Passenger may be, this tour de force ending is worth the wait. Read more
