Rotten
Louise Brooks, especially imported for the title role, does not pan out, due to no fault of hers. She is quite unsuited to the vamp type which was called for by the play from which the picture was made.
Variety Staff, Variety

One of the classic films of the German silent era.

Brooks overwhelms the lens with her magnetic eyes.
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times

If you've never seen Brooks -- or Pandora's Box -- you've missed one of the most extraordinary personalities and films of the silent movie era.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
The movie remains one of the most insightful depictions of the elemental incongruity between man's nature and woman's.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
