Senso is an elegant, expensively-produced, period love story, set back in the Italian 1860s, and a stylist delight.
Variety Staff, Variety
Fresh
Like other Visconti melodramas, [Senso is] sumptuous in its Technicolor expressionism.
Tony Rayns, Time Out
Rotten
It is an obvious, rudimentary operatic approach to amour and an illustration of history that is likely to be fuzzy to anyone but a student of Garibaldi's 1866 campaign in and around Venice and Verona.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times
Fresh
A lush, melodramatic portrait of seduction and betrayal, decadence and deceit in the midst of Italy's resistance to Austrian occupation in the mid-19th century.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
