"All right." "War." Glenn Close's scream at the end saved my soul.

Dangerous Liaisons

Took two hours for Close and Malkovich to get what they had coming. Don’t like these idle hands period pieces. Where were the honorable men?

The disaster is John Malkovich in the key role of Valmont... From the moment he steps out of a carriage at the start, he walks and gestures like Malkovich. He has done nothing to bring himself to the part, not even bothering to learn how to pronounce mademoiselle. (Madam-uhzell, says M.) [2 Jan 1989, p.24]

Stanley Kauffmann

The New Republic

An excellent film. [16 Jan 1989, p.64]

Richard Corliss

Time

The distanced result, screen-adapted by playwright Christopher Hampton, never quite overwhelms you. [21 Dec 1988, Life, p.1D]
