"Stunningly daring social satire." - Alex Sandell

"A fine black comedy, not one of Chaplin's best, but still offers some illuminating moments." - Bob Bloom

"Truly great Chaplin film, seldom seen, about love, war, and murder. And it's a comedy too." - Steve Crum

"The intensely felt social criticism that audiences had seen growing in Modern Times and especially The Great Dictator is elevated to an astonishing level of sarcasm and subversive irony." - Mark Bourne

Awards for Monsieur Verdoux

My Rating: 9.5/10
Monsieur Verdoux is a clever film that is filled with many characters and each of the characters are developed so well you will think that everything happening on screen is all real. Chaplin's direction is outstanding and the editing and pacing of the film is close to perfect. You will never get bored watching this. This film also contains some scenes which are so hilarious that it will leave you gasping for air. Highly recommended.
