Critics' reviews

"Visconti is an eccentric master who has earned the right to his follies when he can make them as pleasurable as 'Conversation Piece'."

Pauline Kael: The New Yorker
"The language is as ornate as the furniture, and the central theme of corruption may be just a tad esoteric for most viewers."

TV Guide
"There is no feeling for the complexity of the mental processes, for the mysterious ways in which the mind works."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
