I googled “what are tilda swinton’s pronouns” while watching this and couldn’t find any clear results and then I realized how idiotic it was of me to think I could address tilda at all.

- Laura lovedOrlando
Incredible, beautiful, lush, titillating. My little bisexual heart yearns for Tilda Swinton in this movie.
Jennifer Facenda lovedOrlandoWatched this after reading the novel by Virginia Woolf. I like how Sally Potter derived a significant portion of the film from Woolf, yet still left room for her own creativity as a director. And Tilda Swinton’s androgyny is great for the role of Orlando. I love this story.
Simonne likedOrlandoWatched this after finishing the novel. Quite accurate to the book up until the ending- which was a bit startling for somebody going in blind.

Metacritic
I’ve never been sure exactly how profound this movie is, and it sometimes teeters on the edge of complacency, but it has a trance-inducing strangeness and Swinton is insouciantly magnetic at all times.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Holding this highly mannered but incredibly beautiful work together is lead actress Swinton who appears in nearly every shot. Also a favorite of director Derek Jarman, Swinton conveys such an intelligence and grace that it penetrates and expands whatever material she is handling. Let's hope that the arthouse success of Orlando makes Swinton a more frequent visitor to our shores.
Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle
Directed with sly grace and quiet elegance by Sally Potter, it is not about a story or a plot, but about a vision of human existence.
