The film is by turns comic and profound, hysterical and pompous, fully complex enough to deserve more than a simple yea or nay.

A dreary, protracted exercise in sadomasochism.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

The movie's lure is sensual and unflagging; that's what makes it, for all its arty absurdity, the last great movie of the 1960s.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Rotten
This is gutbucket Luis Bunuel , surrealism on the cheap, and it hasn't dated well -- the blood is patently fake and the gunshots are dubbed.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

You may find it a tiresome, macho relic -- or a ragtag circus wandering through a fantasy realm part Treasure of the Sierra Madre, part Tolkien's Middle-earth.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
