From Amazon.co.uk
One of the landmark films of the 1960s, Bonnie and Clyde changed the course of American cinema. Setting a milestone for screen violence that paved the way for Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, this exercise in mythologized biography should not be labelled as a bloodbath; as critic Pauline Kael wrote in her rave review, "it's the absence of sadism that throws the audience off balance". The film is more of a poetic ode to the Great Depression, starring the dream team of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the titular antiheroes, who barrel across the South and Midwest robbing banks with Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman), Buck's frantic wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons) and their faithful accomplice C W Moss (the inimitable Michael J. Pollard). Bonnie and Clyde is an unforgettable classic that has lost none of its power since the 1967 release. --Jeff Shannon

 Groundbreaking December 22, 2008
Neil Olsen (Victoria, BC)
I wasn't really expecting to like this film, but it has become one of my favourites. The interplay between Beatty and Dunaway is fantastic, Dunaway leaves a lasting impression. It keeps you hooked from the start, and the way it is filmed it is clear how French cinema of the sixties had a big influence. The bonus DVD is not bad, though like most bonus DVDs could always be better. If you collect classic cinema then this has to be in it.

J'ai vue et revue ce film au moins trente fois au bas mot. Je suis une fan de Bonnie & Clyde depuis toujours et Arthur Penn leur rends justice. Les scenes de fusillade, en particulier celle de Joplin, sont magnifique recrees.
 watchable but miscast October 9, 2006

having a long time fascination with bonnie and clyde, i first saw this movie when it came out in 1967.it has some nice details, the windswept, depression era southwest, and the costumes, but dunaway and beatty are too old for the parts, gene hackman is too everyday guy and estelle parsons, as blanche is woefully miscast. when the real blanche barrow saw the movie she said estelle" made her look like a horses ***" and i agree. michael j. pollard is really the one bright spot in this movie as c.w. the kid trying to act so tough but who is just a scared little boy underneath. and the death scene was far too picturesque, bonnie falling oh so gracefully out of the car.in reality, clyde barrow was killed instantly with one shot to the head and bonnie was shot to ribbons, execution style while she sat helpless in the car, screaming in terror, and it took her a good five minutes to die. a far better movie is the 1997 tv version starring dana ashcroft and tracy needham.or better yet if you want the real no frills straight up story get a dvd of the excellent A&E biography of the couple
 More Hollywood garbage June 30, 2004

Hollywood has a track record of turning vile, murdering cowards and criminals into folk heroes. This piece of trash is among the winners. What a load of pure hogwash. When it first came out, the critics went into ecstasy about the sexual message all through the movie, using handguns as a phallic symbol. More Freudian dribble!!! The police are the villians here while the gang are the heroes. (The scene with Denver Pyle playing Texas Ranger Frank Hamer sneaking up on the bloodthirty duo is pure bilge. If the real Capt. Hamer had had his way, B&C's crimewave wouldn't have lasted any length of time.) The real Bonnie Parker was absolute trash. She blew a policeman's head off point blank with a sawed off shotgun! And she's a HEROINE ? More like she was on HEROIN. If you think this is a "Robin Hood" tale of robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, you live in a fantasy world. The small businesses that Barrow and Parker robbed were "mom and pop" stores. And the poor certainly didn't benefit. The only redeeming part of this film is seeing these two thugs riddled by gunfire by the law. A fitting end.
We Rob Banks! June 3, 2004

To me, the best film of 1967 (above the other landmark film of that year, The Graduate), and one of the most startling films ever made. I think that the "modern era" of moviemaking begins with Bonnie and Clyde." It's really about a "family" of bankrobbers who owe much of their success to the press; the newspapers make it seem as if they intend to terrorize every small town that has a bank to begin with. And so the Barrow gang becomes legendary during the depression, and heroes to some because they are against the government that is taking so much away from the "little people." Although much praised, "Bonnie and Clyde" was controversial in its day, partly because of the considerable bloodshed and partly because audiences felt bad for the two criminals. As one character says, "they're just a bunch of kids!" This is one of the rare films in which the violence punctuates the story--it makes the viewing experience more powerful. Because of it, one watches much of the film in a state of apprehension.
