	Author	Review
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"A shapeless mass of film stock containing some brilliant moments and a lot more that are singularly uninspired"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'1900' is a film out of control. A film conceived on such an epic scale that it just doesn't fit (...) for all its problems, is a movie that film buffs should see (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"'1900' is too emotionally extravagant ever to be considered a masterpiece. Rather, it's a monumental achievement"	POS
United States	Variety	"Bertolucci’s ambitious generational canvas is elaborately constructed."	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"Great moments stud Bernardo Bertolucci's 1976 Marxist epic, but the end result is ambiguous (...) The characterizations are hazy and the narrative seems jerky"	NEU
United States	Kathleen Maher Austin Chronicle	"If you've never seen it, go; it's just a matter of too much of a good thing (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tony Rayns Time Out	"It still looks like a major catastrophe (...) the film is crippled by its ineptitude as 'popular' drama (...) and its manifest inadequacy as political argument"	NEG
