Critics' reviews

"Fonda and Sutherland are at the top of their game in this mystery/thriller that also provides a fascinating look into the mind and soul of a top NYC call girl"

Marjorie Baumgarten: Austin Chronicle
"With Fonda and Sutherland, you have actors who understand and sympathize with their characters, and you have a vehicle worthy of that sort of intelligence (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Klute is a sharp, slick thriller about murder, perversion, paranoia, prostitution and a lot of other wonderful things about life in New York City."

Jay Cocks: Time
"Produced handsomely in New York, but directed tediously by Alan J. Pakula, the film is a suspenser without much suspense."
