United States	Ciara Wardlow Film School Rejects	"A fever dream brought to you by the dynamic duo of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali (...) You’ve seen a Dali painting, right? Yeah. So, like that, but live action, and a movie."	POS
United Kingdom	Bob Baker Time Out	"[It's] a documentary rendering of the dream state, of dream logic... and/or a contrivance by two ambitious young Spaniards to offer as much outrageousness as an artistic alibi can cover."	POS
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"This is the avant-garde masterpiece with the razor across an eyeball and dead donkeys sprawled across pianos."	POS
United States	J. Hoberman Village Voice	"Luis Buñuel began his movie career with the most notorious opening sequence in movie history."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A movie like this is a tonic. It assaults old and unconscious habits of moviegoing."	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"Un Chien Andalou more than confirms Buñuel’s voluptuous obsession with sin, his infatuation with the link between sex and death and Catholicism’s anti-pleasure crusades"	POS
