Rosemary's Baby is suffused with Polanski's style and preoccupations.

Noel Murray, AV Club

Polanski worked with an elegant restraint that less talented filmmakers have been trying to mimic ever since.

Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly
Fresh

One of the finest horror films ever made.

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Fresh

Weird obstetricians, mysterious night noises and even Farrow's improvised stroll into actual oncoming traffic add up to a bustling nightmare that's spawned many a Black Swan since.

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

Having escaped the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust in Poland by the skin of his teeth, Mr. Polanski was well equipped psychologically to re-imagine what was, before Rosemary's Baby, a B-picture genre into an A-picture genre.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
