Reviews for Laura
Top CriticO roteiro é, na melhor das hipóteses, medíocre, mas a direção sombria de Preminger, a música-tema e as atuações de Webb e Price transformam este filme em um marco importante do nascente noir.

Great suspense.

Less a crime film than a study in levels of obsession, Laura is one of those classic works that leave their subject matter behind and live on the strength of their seductive style.

Top CriticA hypnotic and deathlessly interpretable experience.

Top CriticIt is the sleekest of murder mysteries, and ahead of its time -- not least in having a gay suitor for Laura, and possibly two.

The plot is deliberately perfunctory, the people deliciously perverse, and the mise-en-scène radical.

Top CriticA camp classic of a very particular variety.

Classic in the true sense with great theme music to boot.

A classic noir romance where all of the cinematic elements fit together perfectly.

This kooky film noir is so beautifully directed by Otto Preminger that all its protruding elements seem to slide delicately and accurately into place.

At times, the plotting takes leaps that the film’s 87-minute run doesn’t adequately support; but overall this is a gem.

...slightly overrated...

A genuine classic -- not only of film noir but of film, period.
03/23/05
The story is a good whodunnit, although it probably isn't half as clever as a mystery as it is a character study.
